Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, characterized Noem’s comments as “unfortunate” and “not really helpful.” He went on to say that criticizing him would land a “standing ovation” at the conference.

“You know, it’s unfortunate, but it is not really helpful because sometimes you think things are going well and just take a look at the numbers. They don’t lie,” Fauci said. “We see, Margaret, what happens when you pull back prematurely.”

Noem governed her state with a relatively light touch during the pandemic, using hospital capacity as a metric for when to institute emergency orders restricting residents. South Dakota currently boasts one of the smallest unemployment rates in the country at 3.7%, tied for fourth with Vermont. South Dakota ranks eighth nationally in the number of deaths from COVID-19 per capita.

Fauci continued, cautioning Americans of new variants of the disease that “are maybe even more dangerous” than the predominant strain of the coronavirus. Fauci has said that Americans may need to wear masks and social distance well into 2022 despite effective vaccines against COVID-19 currently inoculating millions of Americans against the disease.
