You can agree or disagree about whether Dr Fauci is admitting as such. Stupid to argue though, as it’s been obvious for at least 18 months that COVID policies were and are 90% political science and 10% real science (closer to 0% real science, given the risk assessment not done).
Zero Hedge: “Fauci Admits 'Follow The Science' Is Now 'Follow The Political Science' After CDC Rule Changes”
2021-12-30. Emphasis added.
...On Wednesday, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky admitted that the latest COVID guidance was based on what the government perceived the public would 'tolerate' (and possibly because Delta CEO Ed Bastian sent you a scorching letter demanding a 5-day isolation?)
Which brings us to Thursday, when Dr. Anthony Fauci defended the CDC's revised guidance - and admitted it was about keeping society running (i.e. what anti-lockdown advocates have been screaming for two years when previous strains still only had a 1% mortality rate for most people).
"The reason is that now that we have such an overwhelming volume of cases coming in, many of which are without symptoms, there's the danger that this is going to have a really negative impact on our ability to really get society to function properly," Fauci told NewsNation's "Morning in America."
"The CDC made a decision to balance what's good for public health at the same time as keeping the society running," Fauci continued, noting that the CDC "thought it out well," even though the decision wasn't "100% risk-free."
As for people leaving isolation after five days who are asymptomatic (though CDC guidelines say you can frolick in public if your symptoms are 'resolving'): "Let them go out with a mask being careful so that they can fulfill their job in society to keep society going smoothly."
...
WIND: can’t complain about “balance”, finally.
As for leadership promises, I have only praise for President Biden finally saying something true.
“There is no federal solution” to the virus. — President Joe Biden
