What Phatty said.
He was simply demonstrating the greedy response from the US.

After it ended, Fauci took a socially distant photo with Sean Doolittle, who caught the pitch.
The day before, Fauci joked with Jake Tapper saying “I hope I don’t bounce too much.” He did, but I hope he doesn’t worry too much. I am sure you will have more opportunities in the future.
Before the celebration on the mound, the Nationals raised a World Series championship flag on the center court.
