The COVID omicron variant is here in the United States. It arrived in a fully vaccinated American who traveled back to San Francisco from South Africa on November 22nd. They tested positive for the newly discovered variant one week later.
This promoted Dr. Anthony Fauci to say he's advised the president to have every foreign traveler tested upon arrival to the United States. Which prompted Fox News Peter Doocy to ask, "what about people who don't take a plane and just these border crossers coming in huge numbers?"
Watch Fauci's answer here.
Fauci responded, "that's a different issue, for example, we still have title 42 with regard to protection at the border that you don't have the capability, as you know, of somebody getting on a plane getting checked, looking at a passport. We don't have that there. But we can get some degree of mitigation."
Would you expect anything else from Dr. Fauci at this point?
Not only that, but Fauci's testing strategy upon arrival in the United States has already proven to be flawed. Had the omicron positive passenger been tested on November 22nd when they arrived in San Francisco, they would have tested negative and have alluded Fauci's defense system.
In other words, Fauci's testing strategy will only catch people who are already contagious when they land, which seems unlikely if there is a testing requirement to get on a plane in the first place. Just more misguided Fauci led policies. Remember, most COVID policies implemented by the state, local, and federal government have made your life worse.
They may have closed your business, forced you out of work, given incentives not to work, caused supply chain issues, inflation, and spread fear.
Yet the border is still wide open, COVID test-free.
