Emails Confirm Fauci's Dishonesty [semi-satire]

A cache of the email correspondence of Dr. Anthony Fauci released this past week confirms virtually every criticism of the man uttered during the COVID pandemic. Almost every statement he made regarding the virus was either misleading or outright false.

While publicly pooh-poohing the idea that the coronavirus originated in China's Wuhan Lab, Fauci's emails reveal that he was engaged in a deliberate disinformation campaign to discredit this possibility "because it could reflect poorly on the Chinese government" and "could endanger the crucial 'gain of function' work they were conducting to upgrade the virus' ability to infect humans." Fauci's attempt to explain away what would strike most reasonable people as an extraordinarily dangerous venture as "worth the risk that it might cause a pandemic. There is no guarantee that a more deadly virus might evolve naturally. By creating a more deadly virus in the lab we would gain valuable knowledge that could be used to combat it." He further declared that "it is too farfetched to suggest that China might see 'gain of function' as a step toward developing a bio-weapon."

In the absence of any historical or medical basis for imposing lockdowns, Fauci persuaded President Trump to order a two-week lockdown to "flatten the curve and keep hospitals from being overwhelmed." This "two-weeks" stretched into a prolonged and indefinite period as governors throughout the nation assumed dictatorial "emergency powers" that hammered the economy, destroyed thousands of small businesses, and caused levels of unemployment not seen since the Great Depression. On an almost weekly basis Fauci repeatedly proclaimed that it would be too risky to lift the lockdowns. Now, German scientists at Munich University have found that lockdowns had no effect on reducing the country's coronavirus infection rate.

In his emails with fellow scientists Fauci agreed that "the virus particles are too small for a mask to be effective." Yet, after an initial message aimed at discouraging the general public from wearing masks, Fauci went all out in support of mandatory mask-wearing. He described his first recommendation against masks as "a white lie I used to preserve the supply of masks for medical personnel." As a matter of fact, though, medical personnel do not use the kinds of masks that are available to the general public. Fauci eventually went on the suggest that "wearing more than one mask is just common sense." In an effort to salvage the mask meme, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg admitted the medical ineffectiveness of masks, but said that "wearing them is a demonstration of respect for the governing authorities that order you to wear them." Unsurprisingly, a recently published University of Louisville study showed that masks did not help slow the spread of COVID.

Despite being told by other doctors that hydroxychloroquine was an effective therapy for treating COVID patients, Fauci publicly insisted on a rigid protocol of neglecting to treat patients until their condition became dire and then sending them to hospitals to be intubated until they either recovered or died. He defended his actions, saying that "the email about hydroxychloquine was too long for me to read" and that "the success of doctors using this therapy was unproven because there were no control groups'" (i.e., patients given a placebo instead of treatment). He went on to say that "I thought it would be better to put our trust in a vaccine. Even if this meant hundreds of thousands might have to die before a vaccine could be developed it would have the advantage of being scientific, which I viewed as preferable to cures achieved outside of a clinical environment."

Speculation that the publication of Fauci's emails could lead to his ouster was dismissed by Presidential Press Secretary Jen Psaki who described him as "an undeniable asshat" before circling back and revising this gaffe. "Did I say 'asshat?' I meant to say asset. It's hard for me to believe that the hero of the 2020 pandemic could really be as duplicitous as some of those emails make it seem. But even in a worst case scenario, let me remind everyone that most of the lying occurred when Trump was in office. Dr. Fauci wouldn't be the first person corrupted by his association with Trump."

In related news, another "gain of function" project supported by Fauci is experimentation with Ebola in Maryland to see if the virus can be enhanced to an airborne method of transmission. In contrast to COVID's 99% survival rate, Ebola has a much higher death rate. An estimated 90% of those who contract the disease in the wild end up dying from it. So far, the main thing keeping this pathogen from decimating humanity is that transmission requires direct contact with the body fluids of an infected person.

Share it folks. CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC and the others are still reporting on Russia and Trump.

LOL.
Now check this out. A real story from our impartial media:

Republicans are using Anthony Fauci's emails to make him into a boogeyman

Brilliant, as always John. I will take slight issue with your characterization of the above as satire. I know a very bright young RN who actually SAID the essence of the above to me not long ago. Or perhaps you knew of some of these fools and just incorporated their stupidity into this post.

Well done, either way.

[John Semmens]

Thx

We all know many of these fools. The chorus leaders are on TV regularly on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, etc.

I somehow suspect that there are those in CDC, FDA, and NIH who might not recognize any satire here.

(So, I don't either.)

Thanks John, another informative column.
