“They went into a prolonged lockdown without any seeming purpose or endgame to it, which is – really doesn’t make public health sense,” said Dr Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser.
““If the endgame was to, “Let’s get everybody vaccinated including and particularly the vulnerable,” then you could see how a temporary lockdown like that — but they went into a prolonged lockdown without any seeming purpose or endgame to it, which is – really doesn’t make public health sense.””
“Well, their approach has been very, very severe and rather draconian in the kinds of shutdowns without a seeming purpose,” Dr Anthony Fauci, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. In a rare outburst, protesters even called for the country’s powerful leader Xi Jinping to step down, as well as an end to the zero COVID strategy that is hampering the economy. It has also led to production issues for major western companies such as iPhone maker Apple AAPL, -2.63%.
“It seems that in China, it was just a very, very strict extraordinary lockdown where you lock people in the house, but without seemingly any endgame to it,” said Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He has announced he will step down from government posts next month.
