In March 2020, as the pandemic began, Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the president of the United States, explained in a 60 Minutes interview that he felt community use of masks was unnecessary. A few months later, he argued that his statements were not meant to imply that he felt the data to justify the use of cloth masks was insufficient. Rather, he said, had he endorsed mask wearing (of any kind), mass panic would ensue and lead to a surgical and N95 mask shortage among health care workers, who needed the masks more. Yet, emails from a Freedom of Information Act request revealed that Fauci privately gave the same advice—against mask use—suggesting it was not merely his outward stance to the broader public.
...Later in 2020, Fauci participated in a second noble lie. In December, he explained in a phone interview with then–New York Times reporter Donald McNeil that he had been moving the target estimate for herd immunity based in part on emerging studies. But he also said:
When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent. Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, “I can nudge this up a bit,” so I went to 80, 85.
In his own words, he “nudged” his target range for herd immunity to promote vaccine uptake.
...Even if we accept Fauci’s claim that he downplayed the importance of wearing masks because he didn’t want to unleash a run on masks, we might wonder how he knew that his noble lie would be more effective than simply being honest and explaining to people why it was important to assure an adequate supply of masks for medical workers...

“It was for your own protection.”
When even Slate openly admits Fauci is a liar - then truly he has no credibility.
None.
Yikes. Slate. The bellweather of liberal insanity.
Spin as the lies continue. Look for more of these barf articles. Fauci and others will be the scapegoat (usefulness done) as the scamdemic hits the boiling point. They think they can pull a lock down this Fall.
It's just that simple
From article: “Do we want public health officials to report facts and uncertainties transparently? Or do we want them to shape information to influence the public to take specific actions?”
The problem with shaping information to influence the public, which is the modus operandi of the entire media to an extent that they do it even when they don’t have to is that you may have to backtrack or change tack when circumstances change, and then you lose credibility.
Excellent article ... back to the top
FAUCI = LIAR
It’s just that simple
