Dr. Anthony Fauci has surfaced once again, giving multiple interviews on Monday concerning the explosive ruling from United States District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle who struck down President Joe Biden’s federal transportation mask mandate, claiming it should be a CDC issue, not a court issue.

The Department of Justice is now appealing the ruling at the behest of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Fauci spoke with CBS News host Robert Costa on the matter and asserted that a judge ruling on the mask mandate is somehow overstepping their authority and should defer to the CDC.

Costa asked Fauci, “Does the CDC, with all respect, have any power anymore if one judge can say ‘no thanks’ to its mandates?”

Fauci arrogantly replied, “We’re worried about a precedent that would be a dangerous precedent. The CDC has the capability, through a large number of trained epidemiologists and scientists, to be able to make projections and make recommendations. Far more than a judge with no experience in public health.”

Another CBS News report had Fauci seemingly contradicting his own stance on the matter.

“Fauci said he had urged the president to follow the CDC’s recommendations, and for now the agency has continued to urge all travelers to wear masks. Fauci said he personally planned to don a highly-protective N95 mask when flying,” CBS News reported. “But Fauci also acknowledged that Americans would ‘have to make their own individual choice’ around the risks of skipping masks while traveling.”

“There are going to be plenty of people who are 25 years old, healthy, and say, ‘no, as far as I’m concerned, I don’t like the discomfort of a mask,'” Fauci remarked.

“The CDC has the obligation to protect the American public and they make their recommendations based on science and solid public health information,” he said.

“The CDC will abide by the order of the court because it’s a legal obligation,” Fauci added, “but one of the problems we have there is the principle of a court overruling a public health judgment … is disturbing in the precedent that it might send.”

Fauci also spoke with CNN reporter Kasie Hunt on the matter. Again, he expressed his disapproval of the ruling, claiming he was “both surprised and disappointed” with it.

He contended that “those types of things really are the purview of the CDC” because “this is a public health issue, and for a court to come in, and if you look at the rationale for that, it really is not particularly firm.”

“We are concerned about that, about courts getting involved in things that are unequivocally public health decisions,” he remarked. “I mean this is a CDC issue. It should not have been a court issue.”

Fauci confessed that the rise of the new COVID variant may not result in more hospitalizations. Many claim it is akin to having a cold. Then he turned around and claimed that “it was perfectly logical for the CDC to say ‘wait a minute, we were planning on ending this mandate on a certain date, let’s wait a period of time until May 3.” He also put forth that it “was a very sound public health decision.”

The epidemiologist made it abundantly clear that he was not happy with Mizelle’s ruling and railed that “for a court to come in, and interfere in that, is really unfortunate. It’s unfortunate because it’s against public health principles, number one, and number two is because that’s no place for the courts to do that, this is a CDC decision, and that’s very bad precedent when you have courts making a decision and looking at what the basis of the decision, it was not sound.”

Fauci just recently appeared on ABC News’ “This Week” and admitted that “this is not going to be eradicated… Each individual is going to have to make their [risk] calculation.”

Fauci was absolutely pummeled for claiming that the CDC supersedes the courts and the law:

  1. Fauci is right. This shouldn’t be a legal issue because it wasn’t legal for government or CDC to mandate testing, masking or vaccines. CDC doesn’t have that authority.

    1. That evil little troll should be ashamed of himself. He wants to continue to hold the American people under his twisted little thumb and has the unmitigated gall to act as if there is ANY scientific basis for continuing mandates (Even if they were legal, which they are NOT).

      The ENTIRE justification for mandates was to avoid “overwhelming the hospitals” with sick people. Guess what? Omicron is essentially no different than a cold for healthy people. While the cases of the new variant have increased, the death and hospitalization statistics CONTINUE to drop. An ACTUAL scientist would not attempt to hide those numbers, but a power-mad troll like Fauxi is doing exactly that.

      Give me 5 minutes with that little megalomaniac and a computer full of the data his OWN ORGANIZATION has. I’ll make him rue the day he was born.

  2. Falsi belongs in Guantanamo . CDC has zero authority to set any policy in our nation !

  3. It is Irrelevant if the Courts or the CDC makes these Rules, Neither of these Bodies were Elected by the People and should NOT be given the Power to Rule over the population. The CDC can Make Health Recommendations but they have NO Power to Issue Mandates. TYhat is why they Could Not Demand that Every American get the Covid Vaccine, no more than they can Demand that Every American get the Annual Flu Shot. Now if there is a National Emergency, which there no longer is, then our Elected Officials can enact LAWS that have Passed through Both Houses of Congress and are signed into law by the President. Now unless I have completely forgotten everything that I learned in Civics Class this is how this Constitutional Republic is supposed to work.

  4. WHEN is this MASS MURDERER finally going to have to answer for his complicity in the DEPOPULATION of the world with his good friend Bill Gates and the LUNATIC Klaus Schwab !! Time for this little prick to go to Prison.

  5. FU K Fauci he’s a traitor and international terrost and should be hanging. There have been hundreds of SCIENTIFIC studies across the world and NONE of them say the bull sh t masks do anything to prevent any virus

  6. Useless mask mandate should not have been an issue period. There should have never been a mandate. Let the people decide.

  7. Fauci, Go crawl under a rock in a swamp. We know you lied about the creation of your favorite virus by a lab paid to do so from a government agency you control. We know you lied about so many other factors, like masks, the “jab” and its effectiveness, the safety of the vaccines, etc. Additionally, we know that you personally profited from the pandemic. I can’t wait until it is exposed who secretly paid you and how much!
    Then comes your punishment, hopefully prescribed by the American People.

  8. Fauci, there is something called the Constitution that governs our country.
    CDC is part of our country and is under the rules of that constitution.
    See how simple this is?

  9. SIT DOWN AND BE QUIET TONY NOBODY CARES ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ANY MORE

  10. CDC is a private organization, funded by taxpayers but also the likes of Bill Gates and Soros. They are puppet to big money, there is no science behind the efficacy of wearing mask, aside from breathing in your own waste and harboring bacteria. I wonder how clean are most people’s masks. Hmmm….
    Fauci needs to be executed for mass murder.

  11. The CDC has not been correct yet. Where is the data? LET’S GO BRANDON! WeLoveTrump.com

  12. The CDC is not God in this country and we do not bow down to them. The CDC is highly politicized in fact, rabidly so and all the more reason to refuse them the right of dictatorship. Fauci, is a tool of the democrat party, and I believe the CDC is pretty much the same.

  13. 99.99% of the country is mad at Falsi. And the CDC is a worthless organization. If they were following science, these mask mandates never would have been instituted. And the silly vaccines. Falsi and the CDC are just consummate clowns and Deep State SWAMP SCUM.

  14. Someone, please explain to Fauci that the CDC is a commission and not a Branch of the Federal government. The 3 branches are given their powers by the US Constitution.

  15. If the court had upheld the mandate Fauci would be hailing it as a “brilliant” decision. Fauci is a snake in the grass with typical Democrat double standard.

  16. To top it all off, the air filtration system on an airplane is 5 times more efficient than a N95 mask at removing virus. All other masks have always been nothing more than face decorations anyway, and should have never been mandated.Anyone who voluntarily wore them with the belief their mask would do anything to stop the virus is delusional. FJB

  17. If my memory serves me right, isn’t he the guy who said mask aren’t necessary? Yeah thought so.

  18. Hey Fauci (friend of the Chinese) This is not China, the inept CDC does not put laws on free people!!

  20. When they got push back on lock downs and mandates didn’t the courts in some areas become involved? Correct me if I am wrong, but Fauci needs to hang it up now. He is no longer relevant and he should face a court himself for his criminal activity

  21. Hey, Fauci, anytime the feds decide to trample on Americans’ civil rights, it’s a case for the courts.

  22. “claiming it should be a CDC issue, not a court issue.”
    The judge ruled that it is a legislative issue to be made by elected officials and not a political issue to be made by a single unelected politically appointed bureaucrat. During all of his television appearances, fraudci never once considered the social, mental, economic or any other impact of lockdowns.

  23. Fire Fauci! It’s these kind of highly paid fools that are national debt is so high. We should not pay anyone to make deadly mistakes.

  24. Someone should educate Fauci about the form of government we live under. He seems to think dictatorial control is the only way to govern. Considering all the stupid moves he has recommended over the past two years we need the checks and balances of our government!!

  25. Fauci, wrong again. This has always been a political issue and has never been about “the science”. In retrospect, masks did nothing to mitigate the spread of COVID. There is no science that proves masks were effective at all. You are just upset that your power and influence have been curtailed, as they should have been long ago.

  26. So now the tiny Faucist would-be dictator declares himself a judge and a constitutional expert.

    He needs to sit down and STFU.

  27. Fauci is a hard core deep state leftist that supported the political career of Hillary Clinton among others. This brings his personal and intellectual honesty into question. Severely questioned.

    This ruse was fabricated and amplified from the start using a corrupt test, SARScoV2 RT PCR, a false positive generator, to create the illusion of a worldwide pandemic from a infectious event on par with a typical season of Influenza. Proven by a professional peer review that concluded the test is so flawed as to be useless as a medical diagnostic test. See the CORMAN DROSTEN REVIEW REPORT online. PU.

  28. You’re wrong, Tiny Tony…..you and the CDC made it a court issue when you pushed it as a mandate, talked the swamp into supporting you on the mandate, then refused to “let go” of that power.

    Your hypocrisy, and that of the angry, unhinged left, on the issue of mandates was highlighted by the CDC agreeing to rescinding title 42 the same week you extended the bogus mask mandate.

    Its funny how you do t follow the science on masks.

  29. How does that go, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Okay, we were fooled once but we aren’t falling for this garbage again. I have a Constitutional right to choose. Fauci can pound sand.

  30. His despicable actions call for far more than being fired.

    Fauci deserves to swing in a very public venue, livestreamed for the world to see.

  31. Listen azzhat. If you think masks work, just wear one and you are protected. If “vaccines” work, just keep getting the jab and you are protected. Stop worrying about my choices.

  32. Hey Fauchi, go pedal your BS to China. America won’t listen to your ignorance anymore
