Fauci crushed for saying it’s ‘disturbing’ that a U.S. court can overrule the CDC

Dr. Anthony Fauci took major heat after lamenting on Thursday that it was “disturbing” that a federal court would rule against the CDC’s COVID-19 travel mask mandate, adding his opinion that “This is not a judicial matter.”

Prominent conservative Twitter users crushed Fauci for his “stupidity”, with many accusing the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director of thinking he and the CDC “are above the law,” and of being “hell bent on using Covid to control people.”

Fauci’s irksome comments happened during a Thursday interview with CBS News about U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle striking down the travel mask mandate on Monday.

During the segment on the streaming show “Red & Blue,” CBS anchor Robert Costa asked Fauci, “Do you personally agree or disagree with her interpretation of public health law?”

Fauci responded, “Well, I clearly disagree, I mean those types of things should be decided as a public health issue by the public health organizations, in this case the CDC. This is a public health matter, not a judicial matter.”

“So, obviously the CDC will abide by the order of the court because it’s a legal obligation,” he continued. “But one of the problems that we have there is that the principle of a court overruling a public health judgment by a qualified organization like the CDC is disturbing in the precedent in might send,” Fauci concluded. – READ MORE
