19 Key notes from the Congressional House Committee hearing w/ Dr Fauci & The CDC Director
19 Key Notes from the explosive committee hearing on April 15th 2021 - that held Dr. Fauci and the CDC Director under oath.
Doctor Fauci and the CDC Director are finally held under judicial oath! They were questioned by the Congressional House Committee consisting of both Democrat & Republican representatives. Just by reading this post , you may think “oh that doesn’t sound so explosive”, But trust me - It got heated. Here’s nineteen (19) key takeaways from the hearing , that you wont see on the news. I will include a video of this hearing down at the bottom of this post.
Doctor Fauci and CDC director are both shown pictures of children at the Mexican border inside crowded facilities and cages. The CDC guidance issued on Mexico is “Level 4” which is the highest threat assessment for Covid. CDC’s own guidance says that “All travelers should avoid going into Mexico”.
Even fully vaccinated travelers in Mexico are at risk of the virus according to the CDC.
CDC guidance also states all U.S Citizens coming to U.S from Mexico need to provide proof of negative test before even boarding the plane.
When the CDC director was asked if only American citizens need to follow that guidance or should all people including illegal immigrants. The CDC director said yes that is their guidance for all people.
Congressman then presented a testimony statement from DHS Secretary Mayorkas stating that “There are migrants being released into the country before being tested for Covid. The Congressman then asked the CDC Director if that means that the Department Of Homeland Security violated their guidelines. The Director acknowledged that it was a violation of their requirement.
Dr. Fauci is asked, based on the pictures of overcrowded facilities, if he considers this “Social Distancing”. Fauci responded with “No”. When shown many of the migrants aren't wearing masks and asked if that follows his requirements, Fauci said “No”.
Congressman Fauci was asked if the blatant Covid violations at the border , sends the right message to Americans that they need to follow the rules but not Illegal immigrants. Fauci replied with “It's a very difficult situation”.
Dr. Fauci is asked “When is the time? When can Americans have their freedom back?” in reference to his statement saying “Now is not the time to end social distancing and mask wearing”. Fauci replied stating that the risk needs to be low enough to no longer be a threat.
When asked “What outcome do we need to achieve until Americans are given their liberty back if 15 days to slow the spread turned into 1 year?”. Fauci replied by acting like he was being attacked by the congressman.
Chairman Clyburn intervened with the questioning and said “People will get their freedom back when 90% or more of members of congress get vaccinated”.
Doctor Fauci testifies and agrees that migrants coming across the border should be tested for Covid upon entry.
The CDC Director reaffirms the House Committee that students can return to full in-person learning at schools.
When asked why people need to wear masks if they are already vaccinated, Dr Fauci said there may be other diseases that they don't know about , but will as scientists continue studying. He also said they want to make sure the millions of variants are all protected from by the vaccines.
The CDC Director is asked if she still stands by her statement that Teachers can return to In-person teaching at schools even if they aren't vaccinated. She replied with “Yes I do”
Doctor Fauci testifies that it is well known that keeping children out of school results in more psychological issues as well as an increase in suicides in children who are forced to remain at home & that they should return to school.
Dr. Fauci is asked if he considers the large overcrowding at the border to be a major concern. He replied with “Yes I do”
Fauci is recommended to urge the President on the situation at the border. He Acknowledged that he would.
Doctor Fauci testifies that the number of infections per day would need to be below 10,000 for people to be able to return to their normal lives. Currently we are at 80,000 infections per day.
When asked about why the J&J vaccine is paused when there have only been 6 cases of blood clots and 1 death from 8 Million doses administered. Fauci replied saying it was so that scientists can better examine the vaccine.
The CDC director was asked what they plan to do to spread the word with teachers, schools and leaders to get schools reopened. She basically deflected from answering the question.
