Dr. Anthony Fauci went viral over the weekend for saying it’s “too soon” to consider Christmas gatherings.
Fauci, 80, was suspiciously silent when former President Barack Obama partied with hundreds of unmasked guests in Martha’s Vineyard in August.
However, Fauci has been very vocal about Americans giving up their individual rights and getting vaccinated or wearing masks.
In an appearance on Face the Nation on Sunday, Fauci told host Margaret Brennan that “It’s too soon to tell” whether Americans can gather to celebrate Christmas.
He said the country should instead focus on getting Covid-19 “cases” down.
The Covid-19 advisor to the White House said:
“There comes a time when you do have to give up what you consider your individual right of making your own decision for the greater good of society.”
Twitter’s reaction was mixed, but many called Fauci a hypocrite for ignoring the Met Gala, the Emmy Awards, and Obama’s “Super spreader” party in the Hamptons.

We’re celebrating Christmas this year.
Again.
No one cares what Fauci thinks anymore.

Fauci isn't sure that you can gather for Christmas, but is sure that you must give up your individual rights https://t.co/pVUTonhdBo

The Christmas comment from Fauci is one I’m not in agreement with. My whole family is vaxxed. Don’t threaten us with a ban on getting together at Christmas. Especially when I may have to work on the holiday and miss it anyway. If it’s safe to work, it’s safe for us to meet.

To #AnthonyFauci, I will do what I damn well want to do at #Christmas. If I want to invite my entire street over, I will. I don't care what you have to say, you evil little terroristic troll. #Fauci #fauciliedandpeopledied
