Do these people truly believe that we’re this stupid?
Last week, Fauci decided to cancel his attendance at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday after being invited and RSVP’ing in the affirmative. He quickly changed his mind and “decided to abandon those plans and inform ABC that he would no longer attend because of an individual assessment of his own personal risk.”
The “personal risk” he was likely referring to was that of his entire reputation — or what’s left of it.
His decision not to attend the dinner came shortly after Fauci said the “pandemic phase” of COVID-19 was over in the U.S. — only days later to backtrack after receiving immense liberal backlash.

The annual bash, which draws politicos and journalists to the Washington Hilton, went on as scheduled, with nearly all of the 2,500 attendees packed in a ballroom going maskless — besides the servants, of course, who were all forced to mask up.
Fauci’s decision to avoid the swanky event came after another similar fete, the annual Gridiron Dinner held last month, turned out to be a super spreader, with more than 80 attendees coming down with the virus. Fauci attended that affair but apparently had second thoughts about packing into a room with a bunch of unmasked people.
A maskless Fauci was photographed attending a packed pre-dinner brunch on Saturday afternoon.

Hundreds attended the brunch, according to one report.
Fauci even did an interview in which he (kinda) said it was all over while saying “we still gotta’ be careful.”

Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer had some fun on Twitter.
Fauci bailed on attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner because of “individual assessment of my personal risk." …..so he just went to the crowed pre-parties #WHCD pic.twitter.com/OEkX9OuYHL

Last Tuesday, Fauci declared the “pandemic phase” of COVID-19 is over.
But that was refuted on Wednesday — by Fauci.
On Tuesday, Fauci sat down with Judy Woodruff of “PBS NewsHour,” who asked Fauci: “Here we are. It’s the end of April. It’s the spring of 2022. How close are we to the end of the pandemic?”
“We are certainly, right now, in this country out of the pandemic phase,” Fauci replied.
“So, if you’re saying, are we out of the pandemic phase in this country, we are,” he added.
Well, that’s pretty clear.
But on Wednesday, Fauci walked it all back.
“We are in a different moment of the pandemic,” Fauci told the Associated Press.
Truth is, no one who matters cares whatsoever what Dr. Fauci thinks. America has moved on and, if you haven’t, well, GROW UP!
