Jordan is 100% correct on this. Why can't Fauci just say 'I respect individuals first amendment rights, however, gathering in large crowds is very dangerous right now'.
That's... exactly what he said.
He is saying that "gathering in crowds is likely to spread the virus. Indoors is worse than outdoors. I don't make policy."
By the way, the evidence suggests that the protests
aren't causing the virus to spread. Even given that evidence, I'd say he is doing the right thing.
Perhaps give suggestions on how to make these "protests" safer.
"There" "is" "no" "need" "for" "scare" "quotes" "around" "protests."
Anyway, he did make suggestions. Wear masks, stay away from crowds, all gatherings like that involve a degree of risk.
He will give his opinion on every other thing but this.
Please.
Back in April, he didn't suggest shutting down churches. He gave generic advice: Limit people, wear masks, be aware of the outbreak in your area, practice distancing, don't sing. He didn't specifically say "governments should shut down churches."

He is being a coward just like every other person who is bullied by the left.
:roll:
He's trying to keep you, and everyone else, safe.
It should be obvious to all of us that the protests are spreading the virus.
Except... they aren't.
Protests have been constant in places like New York, Boston, Baltimore, DC, Seattle, Minneapolis... and guess what? The virus isn't spreading there. It's still very low. And of course, the virus has been rising steadily in areas that
don't have lots of protests -- e.g. southern Gulf Coast, most of Mississippi, suburbs in Florida and Texas, California's Central Valley....
Did mass protests lead to surges in coronavirus cases? Here's what the evidence says.
