It seems we are now seeing and hearing an unfettered Dr. Fauci

[Siwsan]

He is a VOLCANO of information, this afternoon. And he looks 100% more relaxed than I've seen him, pretty much ever.

[Ananda62]

1. I love it

And he doesn’t look tired.

[Wawannabe]

11. Aren't we all reenergized!?

I feel it! Not 100% cured (so TIRED of it all) but moving in the best direction. Away from tRump crazy! 🤪😜😉

[mindem]

2. I was just thinking the same thing

He seems much more comfortable speaking.

[NCDem47]

7. He can speak freely from the head and heart.

Not self-editing as he speaks to keep his job or make someone happy.

[imanamerican63]

3. He looks relaxed and relieved!

[BigmanPigman]

36. He even cracked a joke!

That's a first from him.

[mama]

4. He's explaining like he assumes his audience is smart!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

5. I noticed that too.

Yet another nice change!

[blm]

6. Ha, I wrote the same on another thread.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. He sure doesn't look 80!

[malaise]

9. Free at last free at last...

Refreshing - science rules

[cornball 24]

10. And...he doesn't have a bunch of stooges standing behind him and breathing down his neck!

[iluvtennis]

12. Just the science facts mam. Dr Fauci was in his element today. nt

[ananda]

13. Doesn't he just make you feel good?

I love his positive spirit!

[George II]

14. Yes. And rightwingers on Twitter are all aghast because he's saying things differently....

....than he said in March, not acknowledging he was prohibited to speak his mind back then.

[moonscape]

31. That, but also he knows more about

covid now than then. So sick of that side’s non-stop criticism of his mask statement back then.

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Exactly the word I was thinking of when I saw the press conference - unfettered

What are he and President Biden taking? They look younger as the months roll by.

[murielm99]

21. Unfettered - and not only Fauci!

Yesterday, I could see the relief and the weight lifted from all the journalists, talking heads and comedians, just by their body language and the look on all their faces. I could hear a new lightness in their voices.

I believe the toxic levels of stress and anxiety have changed a lot of personalities, not necessarily for the better. I have been more short-tempered and snarly. Things will change!

[malaise]

16. Prime time line

I wasn't joking after he explained the restrictions under Trump

[marlakay]

17. Is there a video I missed it? Nt

[EarthFirst]

22. Here:

[marlakay]

23. Thanks!

[blue neen]

18. Dr. Fauci looks like a new man.

[kristofarian]

20. "The motive behind

criticism often determines its validity. Those who care criticize where necessary. Those who envy criticize the moment they think they have found a weak spot." --blue neen

YES
a thousand times!
Danke

[blue neen]

27. Welcome to DU!

[kristofarian]

38. THNX blue!

feels pretty
Good here!

[Mr.Bill]

30. I was listening on SiriusXM and he even sounded different.

Loved it when he said he didn't have the answer to a question and then said there's a new policy with this administration - if you don't know the answer, don't make thing up. Just say you don't know.

[blue neen]

34. It was like the stress had just melted away.

BTW, I really like The Soft Parade!

[kristofarian]

19. give that Fawker

a Statue!
put him on a Horse
make me Happy.

oh & Adios trumpfy
(was that his name?
I can never remember
it seems so damn Long ago....)

[Tracer]

24. The strain was off his face.

NT

[LiberalFighter]

25. Didn't see Birx anywhere. :)

[Blue_true]

28. She retired in December. nt

[sarcasmo]

33. Scarves was trying to be on Team Biden and was denied.

[nolabear]

35. I found some respect for her though after hearing of her drive across country to try to educate.

The previous bunch hamstrung her too, and her solution was to take to the road with another medical professional and drive thousands of miles across the country, meeting with local groups who needed information and encouragement to get vaccines and convince people to take them.

I think he pretty much made her life impossible and she didn't quite have the fortitude Fauci had, but she was treated pretty badly by the public when he wasn't.

[FakeNoose]

26. Thank you Dr. Fauci

Your country is deeply indebted to you for all your sacrifices, and for putting up with so much!

[PatrickforO]

29. Well, yeah. He no longer has to speak to a one-person audience that hates science.

Fauci has to be pretty happy.

[Demobrat]

32. He was like a man with the weight of the world

off his shoulders. He was positively gleeful, and he looked ten years younger.

Of course that will happen when you lose 300lbs of ugly fat.

[Paladin]

37. He looks and acts 10 or 15 years younger, after escaping trump. (nt)

[kristofarian]

39. my God don't

we ALL?!

like losing a 300lb Tumor
you're just Gonna feel Better.

[Paladin]

40. Good point. I sure as hell feel better. (nt)

[kskiska]

41. He's so relaxed. It was evident right after the election.

He's 80. I'm 76. I'd take him any day.
