Disgraced White House Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci is back on television to fearmonger about more COVID-19 restrictions, just as much of the world seems to be getting back to normal.

In his latest appearance, Fauci told BBC Sunday Morning news that global citizens must be prepared for a “more rigid type of restriction” in the case of a new variant. 

“We need to be prepared for the possibility that we would have another variant that would come along, and then things change,” said Fauci. 

“And if we do get a variance that does give us an uptick in cases and hospitalization, we should be prepared and flexible enough to pivot towards going back – at least temporarily – to a more rigid type of restrictions, such as requiring masks indoors.” 

Fauci insisted that the government may have to “reverse” much of its decisions to lift restrictions like mask mandates and lockdowns despite the progress. 

Fauci and other lockdown adherents have been prepping people for further lockdowns all month. As the Counter Signal reported earlier this month, the head of the World Health Organization, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that recent COVID cases were just “the tip of the iceberg” of a new wave. 

Ghebreyesus’ warnings prompted Fauci to head back to the airwaves to say that people should prepare for a return of restrictions. 

“We need to be flexible, and if, in fact, we do see a turnaround and a resurgence, we have to be able to pivot and go back to any degree of mitigation that is commensurate with what the situation is. So we can’t just say we’re done, now we gotta move on,” Fauci told CNN news.

Fauci’s fearmongering seems to counter recent claims he made over the weekend when he told WUSA9 that the world has “actually gone beyond the pandemic phase and beyond the deceleration stage” of the virus. 

Mixed messaging from public health officials is nothing new, but Fauci’s obsession with measures infringing freedoms is as old as the pandemic.
