Dr. Fauci, the media darling of the Covid pandemic, is nothing more than a liar and politically-minded bureaucrat. He acts like he is trying to save America, yet all he does is bend to the political winds of the time.
When lockdowns are popular, he supports them. If they fall from grace, he cautions against them. He was against masks, then he wasn’t. He set one number for herd immunity, then he changed it. Every statement he has made he has gone back on, and often he changes his mind multiple times!
But the worst instances of that flip-flopping are related to masks and herd immunity. Dr. Fauci lied about masks and now he’s lying about herd immunity.
This article will cover what Dr. Fauci has said about both topics, when Fauci lied about masks, when Fauci lied about herd immunity, and why he lied about those crucial issues.

In the real world Fauci would be given a wedgie and kicked down the stairs. Hey,there’s hope yet.
No.
Get a job.
The Genzconservative web site needs new/additional servers.
Trying to make it’s story links work always times out.
Why do all you blogpimps always post old news? Can’t come up with anything original?
Fauci only lies to us because he knows we are too stupid and weak to handle the truth.
All hail Fastball Fauci!
Dr. Fauci lied
There. Fixed it.
He has lied about everything.
Of course he did.
Some people just realizing this?
The media are the big liars because they are the ones who never expressed any skepticism, chose which “science” to follow when there was widespread disagreement, and in playing Trump off of his “chief medical advisor” they elevated a man who knew nothing to a God like status.
Fauci is a symptom of a bigger problem.
Definitely aloof and incompetent - not as knowledgeable about the subject as he lets on - decades of being in Washington bureaucracy will do that to the mind, it seems. The glamor of media celebrity is now his focus.
Sen. Marco Rubio: Dr. Fauci lied about coronavirus — I am appalled by his arrogance!
Thanks to our news media’s monomaniacal obsession with President Trump, few have paid attention to an important interview that Dr. Anthony Fauci gave last week, in which he acknowledged that he selectively lied to the American public about the coronavirus and what was needed for our national recovery.
The story is straightforward. For most of this year, Dr. Fauci and other scientists in our public health establishment have been telling Americans that about 60 to 70 percent of the nation would need a vaccine in order for us to reach herd immunity and make the coronavirus a non-issue.
But, speaking with The New York Times, Dr. Fauci admitted that he believes the real number is in fact significantly higher — perhaps 75 to 90 percent — and he declined to be forthright because he felt the country wasn’t ready to hear it. Only now did he say that he feels he has the freedom to “nudge this up a bit” without discouraging the nation.

Placing blind faith in unelected celebrity scientists has its limits, and we must not be afraid to call them out!
Trust science? Fauci’s admission he misled public puts scrutiny on Biden alliance!
Fauci’s “apparent willingness to mislead the public in support of his preferred policy objective should disqualify him from providing public policy advice in any official capacity,” said Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University.
Joe Biden’s decision to hold over Dr. Anthony Fauci in his administration as his chief medical advisor as a symbol of his commitment to “trust science” is coming under new scrutiny following Fauci’s recent admission that he altered public scientific estimates based on opinion polls.
In a Christmas Eve interview with the New York Times, Fauci acknowledged he had offered a lower estimate of the level of herd immunity necessary to stop the COVID-19 pandemic because he thought Americans would be demoralized by his true thoughts on the issue.
Fauci recently raised his estimate on the herd immunity threshold “partly based on new science,” the newspaper reported, “and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.”
Fauci had previously admitted that in the spring, during the early phase of the pandemic, he misled the public about the efficacy of face masks in limiting the spread of COVID-19.
Fauci’s admission that he tailored his herd immunity threshold estimate to PR needs drew the ire of Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University. Bhattacharya is a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, which called for replacing “devastating” coronavirus lockdown policies with a new, less restrictive strategy.
“Dr. Fauci’s apparent willingness to mislead the public in support of his preferred policy objective should disqualify him from providing public policy advice in any official capacity,” Bhattacharya told Just the News on Monday. “Dr. Fauci’s advice throughout the epidemic has ignored the science regarding the devastating physical and psychological harms of the lockdowns, to which he seems utterly blind. For a policy advisor, science should inform policy preference, not the other way around.”
Dr. Harvey Risch, professor of epidemiology and public health at Yale University, said Monday that Fauci seems to have ignored the acquired immunity of the 20 million Americans who have tested positive for COVID-19, as well as the estimated 125 million Americans who have had the infection asymptomatically.
“I don’t believe that Fauci has ever provided unvarnished, truthful advice,” Risch told Just the News. “What he really meant is that 90% of the population needs to be immune for the pandemic to more-or-less go away completely. But this is not what he said.”
“Also, you may notice that the WHO removed the fact that having the infection provides immunity,” Risch continued, “now bizarrely stating that immunity only occurs from vaccination. You can guess why WHO (and Dr. Fauci) would manipulate public opinion against scientific knowledge.”
Fauci’s office at the National Institutes of Health did not respond to request for comment from Just the News.
With no vaccination, the pandemic “will be largely over by spring in the Upper Midwest and by summer in a large part of the U.S., with the states that have had the strongest lockdowns continuing their epidemics the longest, perhaps into the fall,” Risch said. “Vaccination may help to make this earlier. The issue is mortality not case counts. Everyone is focused on case counts but that is wrong. Whether by natural immunity or vaccination, we need people to become immune, that is what ends the pandemic.”
Fauci’s New York Times interview drew a scathing rejoinder from Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), who tweeted: “Almost everything Fauci has said this year has been exaggerated, misleading, and/or flat-out wrong. He is not to be trusted under any circumstances. Americans must reject his doctrine of destruction before his fantasies lead to the end of our freedoms.”
This little weasel keeps changing his mind. Doesn’t seem to work any better when he does.
“...In the real world Fauci would be given a wedgie and kicked down the stairs. Hey, there’s hope yet....”
Nope...in a real world, both Fauxi & Scarf would be locked up in a cell at GITMO right now facing death penalty sentences as domestic enemy terrorists for mass murder and the destruction of the U.S. economy. Actually, it’s surprising that the left hasn’t had em “knocked off” by now for what they know. But hey, there’s hope yet!!!
Dr. Fauci and Donna Brazile are from the same school. Both are admitted liars and yet have vocal platforms to voice their lies.
After Fauci’s lies, no rational person would trust him, or the public health establishment on ANYTHING?
Thus Dr Fauci’s lies are an attack on science itself.
Not a deliberate attack by a clever enemy
A unknowing one, by a stupid friend, lost in his self pride.
The average person is unable to verify the claims of Science. He lacks the time, the expertise or most commonly, both. The only way that Science can be believed is on trust. Fauci’s lies serve to destroy this trust.
CP Snow, an English Physicist and Philosopher of Science wrote this: “The only ethical principle which has made science possible is that the truth shall be told all the time. If we do not penalize false statements made in error, we open up the way for false statements by intention. And a false statement of fact, made deliberately, is the most serious crime a scientist can commit”
Now personally, I wear a mask whenever I’m with somebody other than my hubby and the kids. Not because of what the CDC says. You don’t trust liars.
I wear one because of common sense. My father taught me “Tammie Lee, cover your mouth when you cough.”
In the old days they woulda tarred and feathered after they kicked him down the stairs and given him a wedgie.
Most of us figured out this piece of filth last January when Trump halted Chinese immigrant visitors.
