Fauci's Opening Day Baseball Pitch As Errant As His Epidemiological Projections

Perhaps I am being a little unfair about the baseball pitch given Fauci's age and how difficult it is to project epidemiological spread. Nonetheless, this ought to be an ad for a Galt 2020 campaign.

    Cool. I just got over pneumonia. I tested COVID negative. My official diagnosis is still COVID pneumonia. Crazy times we live in.

    Well, I am not sure of Fauci's age, but didn't Trump do something similar, either throwing out the first ball, or throwing to kids on the White House lawn? His was nothing to be ashamed of! Also, while I know that the people throwing to President Trump were making it fairly easy, I didn't see him drop anything either (doesn't take much to impress me when it comes to things I don't know much about :-) )

    Shame? That's only for us, according to them. Rejection of unearned guilt as described in AS is more important than ever.

    He doesn't even have the decency to be ashamed of himself. What a disgusting excuse for a human being.

    That pitch is symbolic of his value as a professional big government medical advisory prognosticator.
    Should a crappy movie ever be made about him and how he keeps getting Schiff wrong, that pitch should be the opening scene.

    To be fair I can't throw for beans myself but gee whiz was that awful. Was he trying to shoot a basket he kind of pushed it up upwards. Did he not think to practice?

    Fauci should be held accountable and his reputation should suffer when he makes bad calls.

    Fauci isnt used to being right. He just pontificates and lets the balls fall where they may

    By looter standards, Fauci will probably grace Time Magazine's Person of the Year cover.

    Getting a ball over the plate is harder than it looks, but not nearly as hard as he made it appear.

    His prognostications about the virus were even worse than his pitch. He is a worthless, overpaid bureaucrat just trying to get his 5 minutes of fame.

    Looked like either the guy had never thrown a baseball at all or he had bad tennis elbow. He has an infielder's throwing motion (cocked his arm but didn't extend) but he failed to square his feet and step toward the plate before throwing, which is why the ball went so wide. The distance is a lot harder than people think, as the 60 feet six inches to home plate with any speed requires a decent arm to begin with.

    This from a Little League All-Star pitcher who hasn't thrown a meaningful baseball in years. ;)

    Project epidemiological spread?...he can't even get it across home base!

    Lately, (if not always), he's know for his wild pitches...mask, no mask, masive death in the 7/8% point range, lock downs for life, an immortal virus,...just think how many batters would end up walking from each base to home plate.

    I could do better than that and I am out of practice!

    Thanks for posting, JB. 👍 He's been throwing off speed to the public for years. Many people have been brainwashed to expect control from government. This year should be a lesson on what to really expect from shifty con-men who use government to cheat the customer (and taxpayers.)
