These two posts are the FR bookends on the Fauci matter.
Poster #1 is correct, the degree of confidence expressed by Anthony Fauci and many others in their opinions formed without data in January-April 2020 was completely inappropriate, and to double down on opinions which were being invalidated at the bedside day-by-day was reckless and foolish, in the way 82 year old men can be.
The damages caused by attempts to limit the circulation of the virus were the result of nearly-universal beliefs in all of Western Europe except Sweden, in most of Asia, in Australia and New Zealand, and in Canada. Fauci was and is influential, but he’s not THAT influential.
Trying the wreck the Great Barrington Declaration (which I signed on the first day) always felt like a cranky old man shouting “get off my lawn”.
That any of this forms the basis of a criminal case, ESPECIALLY one where capital punishment would be involved, although it is almost universally believed around here, remains to be seen. I myself do not believe Fauci, Collins, Redfield, Walensky, Newsom, Whitmer, or any f the other blue-state governors will ever be charged with a crime, and if they are, I do not believe any of them could ever be convicted.
‘I myself do not believe Fauci, Collins, Redfield, Walensky, Newsom, Whitmer, or any f the other blue-state governors will ever be charged with a crime’
in reality, history will reward them as figures willing to take daring risks so as to better humanity...
history always applauds people who deserve no plaudits whatsoever...
Forget COVID for a minute .... go way on back to the good old days of HIV and what Fauci was doing back then .... he’s a monster ... and that is not hyperbole.
The article is true .... confirmed by what is in the superbly researched/footnoted book by RFK Jr.
