Fauci: “misplaced perception” about people’s rights superseding “societal safety.” | Eastern NC Now

I don't remember any where in the Constitution about suspended individual rights.  Did I miss something?  From my understand the Constitution limits the Government and what they can do not the rights of the people.  I also don't remember electing Fauci to any office.

Dr. Fauci on Sunday told CBS “Sunday Morning” senior contributor Ted Koppel that there’s a “misplaced perception” about people’s rights superseding “societal safety.”

“One of the things that to me was most difficult to accept is that we put together a good plan for how we were going to try and dampen down the spread of infection early on thinking that that was accepted by everybody,” Fauci said to Koppel. “And then, the next day you have the president [Trump] saying, ‘Free Michigan. Free Virginia.’ I didn’t quite understand what the purpose of that was, except to put this misplaced perception about people’s individual right to make a decision that supersedes the societal safety. That, to me, is one of the things that, I think, went awry in all of this.”
