Has anyone else noticed a strange lacuna in the COVID-19 media Force? As though a single voice with a million appearances on national television has suddenly gone silent? Actually, yes, someone has, but before we get there, let’s take a quick peek at the media page for Dr. Anthony Fauci at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) as of this morning.
Up until a couple of weeks ago, Fauci appeared to be very busy indeed. On February 17, fifteen days ago, Fauci made three national-TV appearances — ABC, PBS, and finally on CNN in which the NIAID director opined that lifting school masking mandates was “risky.” That took place at the same moment in which Democrat executives like Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer began calling for an end to the requirement to mask children, who were at very low risk for the disease, in schools that never were shown to be vectors of transmission in the first place. To call that timing “inconvenient” is an exercise in understatement.
And then … nothing. Did Fauci take a long vacation? Only from the spotlight, Jordan Schachtel pointed out yesterday. Fauci’s still making appearances, but suddenly he’s only making them on local news shows and podcasts (via Ed Driscoll):
If you’re looking for the infamous Dr Anthony Fauci, you might want to check your local television stations, or some random YouTube channels, because the man has seemingly joined the primetime cable milk carton. …
I had to dig pretty deep to find some of his recent media appearances, but I didn’t want to let you all down, so I persevered through the interwebs to find evidence of Fauci’s existence.
He recently appeared on an online streaming show called “Woke AF” (As F**K), in which he expressed his disdain for the unvaccinated. … I also found a recent Fauci appearance on a D.C. local TV channel. In it, Fauci demands “money now” for his government department, seemingly trying to shake down lawmakers for his pet projects.
Why, it’s as if Joe Biden and his administration suddenly found Fauci’s narratives inconvenient, after a year of using Fauci to ineffectively flog its COVID-19 messaging. Whatever could have changed their minds about using Fauci as the White House’s top COVID-19 surrogate?
“...a strange lacuna”
Now this is purely OT, but I haven’t seen “lacuna” used in years. It’s a great word, but I completely forgot what it means.
Kudos to the author for using it!
My guess is the dems polling showed him as a liability.
The organ grinder keeps him pretty busy.
He’s been moved to a hiding place. His 15 minutes are over, at least until after the midterms, when the next chapter of the script is begun.
I hope they take they story in a new way, though.
Even Hitler took holidays.
LOL I was JUST going to post this in another thread, and here you are!
For one, he’s been swept off the screen by Ukraine (again, why is it 24/7….although not having COVID 24/7 is a blessing).
And the other, lots of word prior that the COVID is dying down. Although far too many MANDATES BY FIAT are still in place.
Agreed
New Zealand?
Hitler died on a Jewish holiday.
Disappeared just like after the world coming to an end from everyone getting HIV. same guy.
Will did a piece about Fauci tonight on FOX
Fauci is doing the comedy podcast circuit nowadays…
Didn’t you hear? Putin cured covid
Fauci, the CDC and MSM hype about covid have all disappeared 3 weeks ago.
Mercifully, no
He’s hanging out in a front yard somewhere with the other garden gnomes.
But none of them like him. They feel like he gives them a bad name.
I had to Google it!
My observation as well. Once the Dems in the North East and West coast, all of a sudden dropped mask mandated and they saw people were happy and not upset and angry, suddenly Fauchi disappeared and the the CDC suddenly decided the whole country wasn't in the scary red "high risk" category.
Maybe he keeled over from a booster shot.
He belongs on a milk carton.
fauci wasn’t told to shut up by the sock puppet joe administration, but what they DID do is order their wholly-owned fake stream enemedia subsidiaries to quit interviewing him ... basically, a fauci in the woods makes no noise no matter how much he lies and whines if there are no news media to hear him ...
