Last week, medical journalist Katherine Eban posted at Vanity Fair the results of a long and detailed investigation into the lab-leak theory of the origins of SARS-CoV-2. The subject is moving ever more to the front-and-center of efforts to find out exactly what was going on at the highest levels in early 2020 that resulted in the greatest societal, political, and economic upheaval of our lives.
How precisely did we move so quickly from the “germ games” of October 2019 – when the virus was already circulating in the US – to full-scale global lockdown by March? Why did Anthony Fauci, who in early February was downplaying the seriousness of the virus, flip to the other side (which we know from emails)? It was Fauci, according to many reporters, who tapped Deborah Birx to huddle with Trump and convince him that the only way to battle the virus was to “shut down” the economy – as if anything like that was possible much less effective for controlling a respiratory virus.
For two years now, and despite endless writing and reflection, this change from the top has puzzled me. Lockdowns contradicted not only a century of public-health practice but even WHO guidelines. Even on March 2, 2020, 850 scientists signed a letter to the White House warning against lockdowns, closures, and travel restrictions. Within days, everything changed.
There were hints of extreme measures in the CDC pandemic planning manuals since 2006 but the idea was hardly orthodoxy in the profession. It’s also true that there were elite scientists who longed for the chance to try out the new theory of virus suppression. But how did Fauci and Birx, to say nothing of Jared...

As soon as he’s no longer the money man....everything Fauci collapses. Too bad hundreds of “scientists” are already beholding.
I’m thinking that falsie Fauci just had to be a quota admission to med school. The guy exhibits the science gravitas of a sand flea.
One of the biggest mistakes President Trump ever made. Plenty Freepers, including me, were totally disgusted by that
My candidates for 2024 are Trump, Palin and DeSantis. I love 45 but he’s got a vaccination/Fauci problem. He’ll have to figure that out. Palin/DeSantis don’t have as much of an issue on covid. Just a thought. I think 45 should just said hell no to all restrictions.
Be holding? What they be holding?
Did you mean "beholden"?

The Spelling & Grammar Police to the rescue. Praise Jesus!
If the Deep State/DoD/etc. has to gnaw off their Fauci paw to escape a steel-toothed trap, that is what they will do.
Saint Fauci just whipped up fears on the latest BS Virus and thinks we should keep wearing masks on planes and in airports.
Forget McCain’s buddy Palin, jeeze.
Lately when ethics is used with science, it reminds me of honest being used with used car lot signs.

Unfortunately during an epidemic, the CDC does get to have a say in how to deal with the current disease ...
He made the mistake of “listening to the science”.
I give him slack for doing it early on. By April 2020, we knew what we needed to know and it should have stopped then.
But no matter what, Trump was not behind vaccine mandates and such, and I don’t think there is any way he would have pushed those things.
The COVID affair would flop if it was a movie or book. No one would believe that a handful of people could shut down an entire country of 330 million without the first gunshot being fired and then FORCE unproven chemicals into the bodies of the vast majority of that population.
Could this be reality???
Who said, “You can fool some of the people some of the time BUT not all of the people all of the time?” So much for that deal!
If the two guys to the right and left are not sick Nazi’s then I don’t know what they are…. Very creepy looking guys……
“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.”
Vanity Fair?
It’s such a liberally motivated rag. I find this interesting.
