Maybe he just needs a little reminder (He really should call Scott Atlas to help him fill in the blanks)..

“I would prefer as much [of a shut down] as we possibly could,” Fauci said in an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press. “I think we should really be overly aggressive and get criticized for overreacting.”

March 2022: America's top infectious-disease expert warned that the country could face more COVID-19 lockdowns if cases go up once again due to the latest variant, even as the most cautious begin to shrug off their virus fears once-and-for-all.

March 2020: Asked by CNN’s Brianna Keilar on “State of the Union” if he’d like a “national lockdown” where people are being told they need to stay home and out of restaurants and bars, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, said he’d “like to see a dramatic diminution of the personal interaction that we see” in those places.

“Whatever it takes to do that, that’s what I’d like to see,” Fauci added.

April 2020: Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is frustrated with the lack of a federal mandate. When asked about whether states should be "on the same page" about these lockdowns during an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper on Thursday, Fauci said, "I think so, I don't understand why that's [lockdowns] not happening."

Feb 2021: Dr. Anthony Fauci says there's new evidence that a COVID-19 vaccine may not just protect the people who get it but also shield others whom they come in contact with.

May 2021: Dr. Anthony Fauci says based on research and data, those who are fully vaccinated are very unlikely to spread the virus.

Schools:

April 13, 2020: Fauci slams Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who announced at the time that he wanted to get schools open as soon as possible. Fauci claimed that opening the schools will get children infected with the coronavirus. “If you have a situation where you don’t have a real good control over an outbreak and you allow children together, they will likely get infected,” Fauci proclaimed.

May 12, 2020: Without evidence, Fauci claims COVID-19 is dangerous to children, citing “Kawasaki syndrome” as a potential outcome in schoolchildren.

June 30, 2020: Testifying on Capitol Hill, Fauci says school reopenings depend on the “dynamics of the outbreak.”

July 15, 2020: The NIAID chief supports looking at schools on a case by case basis.

July 24, 2020: Fauci continues to advance his vague ideas about school reopenings, but again makes clear that he opposes having schools open in areas where the coronavirus is spreading.

August 4, 2020: Dr. Fauci calls for the continuing closure of schools in areas with high transmission, and a hybrid learning system in areas with moderate transmission, in elaborating on a scaled approach that allows for schools to remain open based on unspecified area transmission numbers.

August 4, 2020: ABC reports that Fauci is still concerned that schools could be vectors for transmission of COVID-19.

August 13, 2020: Fauci agrees that the future entails “many months” of virtual learning, in supporting keeping schools physically closed.

September 3, 2020: Schools can only open back up once the virus is “under control,” Fauci tells CNN.
