Your response to the latest flip-flop by the great doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, it\u2019s funny you bring that up, Laura, because I was reading that today,\u201d Lapado replied. \u201cIt was \u2014 it\u2019s over, yesterday I think. Today, oh, it\u2019s still on, you know, and we\u2019ll see what tomorrow brings. But this is really the kind of inconsistency that has really fueled the distrust for public health officials \u2014 and it is well-earned and well-deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lapado was referring to several interviews Fauci gave earlier in the week \u2014 specifically when he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/fauci-says-the-pandemic-phase-is-over-but-its-still-too-risky-for-him-to-attend-white-house-correspondents-dinner\/\">told<\/a> PBS \u201cNewshour\u201d host Judy Woodruff that the United States was \u201cout of the pandemic phase\u201d only to <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/fauci-pandemic-phase-of-covid-19-over-fauci-no-it-isnt\/\">say a day later<\/a> that the pandemic was certainly not over telling The Washington Post, \u201cThe world is still in a pandemic. There\u2019s no doubt about that. Don\u2019t anybody get any misinterpretation of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lapado went on to say that the inconsistencies also included the officials\u2019 waffling position on masking \u2013 particularly their insistence that people continue to wear them despite multiple assessments suggesting they were <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/cnn-medical-expert-doubles-down-that-cloth-masks-were-never-appropriate-for-covid-19\/\">not effective<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ingraham pivoted to DeSantis then, noting that President Biden was <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/biden-to-attend-white-house-correspondents-dinner-possibly-wear-mask-fauci-to-skip\/\">planning to attend<\/a> the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner in spite of a spate of cases of COVID-19 in vaccinated and boosted individuals \u2014 and DeSantis pointed out the irony of Biden\u2019s administration simultaneously <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-biden-admin-to-appeal-court-decision-that-ruled-mask-mandate-on-airplanes-was-unlawful\/\">fighting in court<\/a> to reinstate the mask mandate for air travel.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis then interrupted Ingraham\u2019s line of questioning to announce that Lapado was the \u201cAnti-Fauci.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tell him, \u2018You know what?
