This WAS coming sooner or later….
It appears it’s here now….
First?
Donald Trump is allergic to experts….
Experts try to TELL him what to do…
THAT does NOT sit well with a guy who operates in his own altered universe…
You had to know that Fauci, who has been there before , and as a scientist , deals with facts, would be bothersome to Trump & Co. on how to handle the virus…
Trump has sought to down play the whole situation ….
Fauci, who is reading data from several places, that sometime’s conflicts, is trying admitily go a bit overboard to be able get action from Americans that will slow the virus as fast as can be…
Trump has had to be corrected in meetings with the media, something NO ONE does to the President and lasts long…
We now have out in the OPEN White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Monday questioned the experience and medical judgment of Fauci….
This IS nothing more that a power play to bring Fauci in line with Donald Trump and his people…
Fauci wants everyone to wait 12 to 18 months for an approved coronavirus vaccine…
Trump will NOT….
He is , and hospitals and doctors ARE, prescribing decades old hydroxychloroquine malaria drug….
Fauci …It would appear….Seems to be losing his efforts to the President and his people….Who are determined to control the narratives and politics…
“It’s like, if CNN wants to set up Dr. Fauci as the only authority on medicine and only rely on him, that’s one set of facts,” he said. “What I’m saying is doctors disagree all the time.”
Addressing his argument with Fauci in another interview Monday on “Fox & Friends,” Navarro charged that the news media “is trying to blow it up as a big, big debate,” and insisted that “there was no pride there.”
Navarro noted that “as a social scientist,” he would normally concur with Fauci’s calls for more controlled, randomized studies of the drug, but “in the fog of war, we might take more risks than we otherwise would.”
“I think history will judge who’s right on this debate,” Navarro said, “but I’d bet on President Trump’s intuition on this one because of all the doctors I’ve talked to and all the scientific papers that I’ve read.”
The new front in the feud between the hawkish economist and the widely respected physician marks the most intense, public escalation yet of the ongoing friction between administration officials over hydroxychloroquine, which Trump has eagerly endorsed in an apparent effort to gin up optimism amid the global pandemic..
“I hope they use it because I’ll tell you what: What do you have to lose?” Trump said Saturday at the White House task force’s daily news conference, appealing to Covid-19 patients. “In some cases, they’re in bad shape. What do you have to lose?”
But when Fauci was asked his opinion of hydroxychloroquine at Sunday’s briefing, the president interjected before the career immunologist could respond to reporters.
“Do you know how many times he’s answered that question? Maybe 15 times,” Trump said. “You don’t have to ask the question.”….
