Retiring NIH director says he resisted calls from 'GOP lawmakers' to FIRE Dr. Fauci and 'got a bit of a taking-to' from Trump for refusing to endorse hydroxychloroquine

The National Institute of Health's outgoing director says he ignored calls to ax Dr. Anthony Fauci and was confronted by Donald Trump for defying a request to endorse hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 remedy.

In a preview of his CBS New interview, set to air Sunday, retiring NIH boss Dr. Francis Collins said he was pressured by the former president to endorse the malaria drug.

'And I got into a difficult place and got a bit of a talking-to by the president, but I stuck my ground,' he said.

He said he would have resigned before acquiescing to such a request.

In a WP interview, Collins says 'There comes a time where an institution like NIH really benefits from new vision, new leadership. This was the right timing.'

He's wrong about the timing. The right timing would have been when Trump called him on the carpet. So that 'new vision' could combat the pandemic, like trying HCQ and letting it fail instead of creating a conspiracy around it by dragging things out. And pushing through production of monoclonals faster, not waiting for the president to have to prove the point himself that they worked. (not to mention being better prepared in the first place)

Why is it that sub-Saharan Africa has lower morbidity rates than most parts of the world? Could it be the prevalence of malaria and the use of hydroxychloroquine as a prophylaxis? The same pharmaceutical that intrigued President Trump?

I have a nephew 50 years old, 150 lbs overweight, diabetes and high blood pressure. In February ‘20 he got Covid. He deteriorated until he was admitted to the IC. He was then given the Hydroxy treatment and was home recovering ten days later. The drug most likely saved his life. When Fauci and his merry band of fraudsters trashed this treatment after Trump touted it, I knew we had all been had and this was a scamdemic. I’ve dismissed the whole Covid circus as the BS it is ever since.

Well said. His incredible obstinacy has caused countless lives and freedoms to be lost. Of course I believe he knew that turnout ahead of time, just like Fauci. These people have no decency,

When the epidemic began, the website Strategy page commented that the Chinese discovered Africans had fewer sites in their lungs for the virus to latch onto. Presumably they found this in their small immigrant population. But I haven't read about this since then.

Ironically, in the USA, the death rate is higher in the black community probably due to diabetes and obesity. Also, the black community distrusts the experimental vaccine because they remember the Tuskegee experiment.

What’s the consensus on hydroxy now? Invermectin is the golden boy now.

“I stuck my ground”...in other words.... I let people die to prove a useless factually challenged point.

Was perfectly happy to kneecap Donald Trump and laugh while Trump objected while simultaneously dooming his country to dystopian misery, and signing the faux-euthanasia death warrant of hundreds of thousands of his fellow countrymen not wise enough to defy vampiric health authorities like Collins and medicate themselves with HCQ and/or Ivermectin.

Deep staters that they are, Collins and his fellow vampires most likely were, and still are, wisely stealth-dosing themselves with (non placebo) HCQ and Ivermectin to ensure they ultimately survive the cull.

The entire “pandemic” has been a manifestation of Trump Derangement Syndrome. I like to think future generations will look back in astonishment at the deliberate destruction by these ghouls, but I’m not optimistic.

So YOUR’RE THE GUY that is responsible for the DEATH and injuries of MILLIONS of people.

Better drop to your knees, no, ON YOUR FACE and pray to Jesus to forgive you of your sins.

He should have resigned long ago.
