He responded by saying it\u2019s too early to tell and that the world still appears to be in phase one of a five-phase pandemic, The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2022\/01\/17\/world\/omicron-covid-vaccine-tests#will-omicron-bring-the-pandemic-to-an-end-its-too-soon-to-know-fauci-says\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Fauci also said that the world is still in the first of what he considered to be the five phases of the pandemic. The first is the \u2018truly pandemic\u2019 phase, \u2018where the whole world is really very negatively impacted,\u2019 followed by deceleration, control, elimination and eradication,\u201d The Times reported.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci added that the only infectious human disease to ever be eradicated was smallpox but said, \u201cThat\u2019s not going to happen with this virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further, Fauci insisted that countries needed to reach phase two, or the \u201ccontrol\u201d phase, to make the virus a \u201cnon-disruptive presence\u201d in society. When this happens, he said, the virus could be considered endemic, likening it to the rhinovirus and certain other upper respiratory infections.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci also said during the event that since the Omicron variant is more contagious but causes less severe symptoms, it could help spread collective immunity, but insisted \u201cit is an open question as to whether or not Omicron is going to be the live virus vaccination that everyone is hoping for, because you have such a great deal of variability with new variants emerging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would hope that that\u2019s the case,\u201d Fauci added, \u201cbut that would only be the case if we don\u2019t get another variant that eludes the immune response.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fauci cautioned that the future of the pandemic is still unknown, saying, \u201cThe answer is: We do not know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fauci has become a polarizing figure during the pandemic, from regularly changing his stance on various aspects of the pandemic such as masks and isolation times, to consistently insisting we are hardly better off than we were in March 2020.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/jim-jordan-we-definitely-are-investigating-dr-anthony-fauci-if-republicans-win-back-house-in-2022\">reported<\/a>, the frustrations with Fauci could come to a head if Republicans win back the House in 2022. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo that he would investigate Fauci should Republicans retake the lower chamber.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the American people put us back in charge, we are definitely going to do this because we now know without a doubt that Dr. Fauci knew on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 that this thing came from a lab,\u201d Jordan&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jim_Jordan\/status\/1482750363828695051\">said<\/a>. \u201cThe top scientists in the country were saying it came from a lab. One scientist says we got the notes now from the conference call on February 1st. One scientist says, \u2018I don\u2019t see how this can happen in nature, but it would be easy to do in a lab.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd yet just in a matter of days, they changed their position, write the article that appears in Nature of Medicine Magazine, which then gets cited in the now famous letter in The Lancet, which became the gospel for the fact that Fauci can go out and tell people it didn\u2019t come from a lab when in fact they knew it did,\u201d Jordan continued. \u201cThe interesting thing is. We point this out. We just learned this last week, the two doctors who were most adamant that this thing came from a lab early on: one is Dr. Kristian Anderson. On Jan. 31, 2020, he says this to Dr. Fauci in an email: \u2018Virus looks engineered. Virus not consistent with evolutionary theory.\u2019 So, he knew it came from a lab.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
