In the past month, he\u2019s hardly made any public appearances, and has been relegated largely to local news interviews and secondary cable networks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niaid.nih.gov\/news-events\/director-in-the-news?page=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">According to<\/a> the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci has not made any media appearances to discuss COVID-19 since Feb. 23, when he did an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-02-23\/covid-shots-drugs-position-u-s-to-ease-limits-fauci-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interview with Bloomberg TV<\/a>. He has not appeared on a major cable or network news show in nearly three weeks, since a Feb. 17 hit on CNN.<\/p>\n<p>In the month of December alone, Fauci did 22 interviews or appearances with major national news outlets or programs \u2014 from Rachel Maddow\u2019s MSNBC show to Neil Cavuto\u2019s program on Fox Business to a sit-down with The Atlantic. In January and February combined, he made only 15 such appearances. So far in March, he\u2019s made zero.<\/p>\n<p>He has found time for some other media activities. He recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/global-health\/science-and-disease\/war-ukraine-could-lead-devastating-tuberculosis-problem-warns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spoke to The Telegraph<\/a> about how the Russian invasion of Ukraine could lead to an outbreak of tuberculosis, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcmiami.com\/news\/coronavirus\/buck-the-cdc-desantis-ladapo-announce-new-covid-guidelines-fauci-responds\/2700392\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">and spoke to<\/a> NBC 6 South Florida about Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis\u2019 \u201cbuck the CDC\u201d COVID-19 guidance. But for whatever reason, the national media appearances to discuss the coronavirus pandemic have ground to a halt.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Dr. Ladapo on New Florida Right to Try Guidance: It\u2019s been a tragedy that the medical community has stuck with the CDC and Fauci instead of relying on clinical wisdom and expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Now doctors can decide what\u2019s the best treatment for their patients in Florida. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/U4uB5Q8ncg\">pic.twitter.com\/U4uB5Q8ncg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovRonDeSantis\/status\/1499397188505387014?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 3, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/where-is-anthony-fauci-not-useful-democrats-buck-sexton-cpac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Some have speculated<\/a> that Fauci\u2019s fade into the background is politically motivated. Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/coronavirus-polls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">has a fledgling approval rating<\/a> for his handling of the pandemic, 8 months away from critical midterm elections in which Democrats will try to cling onto a majority in the House and Senate. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/02\/covid-19-coronavirus-misinformation-risk-poll-media-pandemic-panic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: It\u2019s Now Clear How Misinformed The Public Has Been About The Risks Of COVID-19)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/02\/17\/democrats-mask-mandates-follow-science-changed-polls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Democratic governors across the country<\/a> began to rapidly, and simultaneously, move away from mask and vaccine mandates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/axios-ipsos-poll-covid-acceptance-but-indecision-211212c1-733e-482f-9f4f-026e9de727bb.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">as polling shifted<\/a> to indicate that most Americans want to move on from pandemic restrictions. An internal memo from Democratic firm Impact Research <a href=\"https:\/\/punchbowl.news\/impact-covid-positioning-strategy-memo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">was recently leaked<\/a>, arguing that Democrats should embrace a strategy of moving on from the pandemic while claiming credit for putting it in the rearview mirror with their policies.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci\u2019s personal messaging has taken the opposite tone. In February, just over a week before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/02\/25\/cdc-mask-guidance-mandates-covid-19-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">relaxed its masking guidance<\/a> so that a majority of Americans were no longer advised to wear face coverings, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=08tRe6HHDfc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fauci appeared on MSNBC<\/a> to tell Chris Hayes that, despite Americans wanting to be done with COVID-19, COVID-19 wasn\u2019t done with them. Around the same time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=W9llhEQUzBI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he warned PBS<\/a> that we \u201ccan\u2019t walk away\u201d from the possibility that a new variant of the virus will arise and prevent a return to normalcy.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a stark contrast compared to Biden\u2019s messaging in his <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/01\/joe-biden-covid-19-coronavirus-state-of-the-union-mandates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">state of the union address<\/a>, where he claimed credit for America diminishing the pandemic and said that, while some vigilance must be maintained, it\u2019s time for people to get back to school, back to work and back to life as normal. Perhaps the disconnect is why Biden, who has lauded Fauci throughout his entire presidency and still features him at weekly White House COVID-19 response briefings, did not mention the doctor\u2019s name a single time in that speech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The face of America\u2019s COVID-19 pandemic response has been notably absent in recent weeks as Democratic messaging about the pandemic has done a complete 180.Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top medical<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1892053,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1363188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1363188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1363188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1363188\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1892053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1363188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1363188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1363188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
