A clip from Trump claiming that the COVID-19 vaccines could arrive “relatively soon” led Fauci (Pitt) to analyze what “relatively” meant.
“Relatively it’s an interesting phrase,” explained Pitt’s Fauci.
“Relative to the entire history of Earth? Sure, vaccines are going to come very quickly. But it is as if you said to a friend, ‘I will finish relatively soon’, and you appear a year and a half later ”…
“When he said everyone can get tested, what he meant was almost no one.” He added that “he would hesitate to call the exams ‘beautiful’, unless his idea of ’beautiful’ is for a cotton swab to tickle his brain.”
Pitt in his role as Dr. Fauci also touched on the alleged idea of disinfectant injection to eliminate the virus, and also on the application of UV light inside the body….
The clip ended with Pitt taking off his wig and glasses to grimly thank the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and all other medical staff, working hard during the coronavirus crisis.
“For the real Dr. Fauci, thank you for your calm and clarity at this bewildering moment,” Pitt said.
The real Dr. Fauci will undoubtedly be delighted with his performance on SNL after previously asking who he would like to see him perform on the satire show.
“Oh Brad Pitt, of course,” Fauci joked.
