Fauci: US 'definitely' saw variants coming, but omicron mutations 'unprecedented'
Fox News
Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed that while health officials expected variants of COVID-19, the omicron variant showed "unprecedented" mutations that even caught experts off-guard.
Vice President Kamala Harris claimed this week that the Biden administration "didn’t see" the delta or omicron variants coming, but Fauci said that health experts had warned about variants – just not variants of this specific kind.
"We definitely saw variants coming," Fauci said on CNN’s "State of the Union." "What was not anticipated was the extent of the mutations in the amino acid substitutions in omicron, which was really unprecedented."
