Thereisa saying among people in medical school that when you're learning about what to do in an emergency situation, before you take the pulse of the person you see laying still, take your own pulse.

The meaning of this saying was not to freak out, butto try to stay calm,and try to make rational decisions beforerushing to a potentially damaging reaction.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: FAUCI IS ACTING LIKE A 'MONARCH' WITH 'LEGISLATIVE, JUDICIAL AND EXECUTIVE POWER'

Apparently, Dr. Anthony Faucidoesnt rememberthissaying orlesson.

Once again, we find ourselves in a situationin which we have a new COVID variant.Ratherthan making rational, scientific decisions, Dr. Fauci and the Biden administration have jumped to assume theworst, andhave begunimplementing restrictions with the ever-looming threat of mandates.

We really dont know much about theomicron variant. It could have different mutations, different symptoms, and require different treatments. But rather than freaking out, we should take the next week or two to see what becomes ofit.

President Biden on the other hand, has alreadyfollowed suit with Dr. Fauci in foolishlyannouncingpublic health policy that is not based onany science.Mandating a COVID test within 24 hours of international travel, ignores the fact that rapid tests for patients without symptoms give false readings about half the time.

BIDEN JOKES THAT FAUCI IS PRESIDENT, SAYS HE SEES FAUCI MORE THAN FIRST LADY

Meanwhile,medical officials in South Africa, where the variant originated,have been shocked at theknee-jerkreaction from countries across the worldin imposing travel restrictionsand renewingmandates.

EvenDr. Angelique Coetzee, who discovered the new variant,has said countries,including the United States,are "panicking unnecessarily." Dr. Coetzeehasalso said,"the simple truthis:we dont know yet anywhere near enough aboutomicron to make such judgments or to impose such policies."

This is a prime example of big governmentthinking it must do something out of gut reaction, but in all likelihood, government will do the wrong thing.The ink on the travel ban has barely dried and reports are already coming in that theomicron variant is less deadly. In addition, the variant is nowin nearly40 countries, so a travel ban will have little effect.

We needtopause, learn more about theomicronvariant, and in the meantimenot imposetravel restrictions that will tank theU.S. andworld economies, ensue chaos, and frankly do nothing to change the course of this new variant.

Not to mention the fact that while we implement travel restrictions onU.S. citizens and other countries, our southern border remains wide openwith very little being done totest migrants who are being released by the thousands into our country. Apparently, President Bidens newCOVID-19 "strategy"only applies to law-abiding citizens, and not illegal aliens.

The default solution for big government types like President Biden and Dr. Fauci is always more rules, more regulation and less of your liberty.

Our responseshouldnt be a blanket decision for the whole world, on locking the economy down, locking the country up, and banning travel before we knowfor surewhether this is a more or less deadly variant.

Instead,ifthe governmentwants to do something productive for once, itcouldget out of the way of vaccine and drug development, and allow for new vaccines and drugs to come to marketquicker.

President Trump did it, and because of Operation Warp Speed, drug companies and researchers were able to develop the first COVID-19 vaccine in record time, saving countless lives.

For months, Ive urgedthe Biden administration to do the same thing, cut regulations and red tape toallowfor thequickdevelopment ofanew COVID vaccinethat respondsbetterto variants.While some companies are currently in trials, at no point has the Biden administration includingPresident Biden and Dr. Faucimade efforts to speed up the processof getting a new vaccineor treatmentsto market.

If anyone in that administration had anycompetenceat all they would be taking steps to adapt the COVID vaccine like they adapt the flu vaccine each year, and let Americans make their own individual decision on whether or not to be vaccinated.

Instead, theywill continue topreach about booster shots,yell about masks,threatenyou,theAmericanpeoplewith vaccine mandates, and blame all of their problems and failures on the never-ending pandemic.

It is by far time we fire Dr. Fauci, and for the Biden administration to come up with a reasonable, rational plan that follows actual science and acknowledges Americans individual rights and liberties.
