Fauci to comeback grads: Fight ‘normalization of untruths’
The University Record ^ | May 7, 2022 | Jeff Bleiler and James Iseler

Posted on 05/07/2022 3:53:34 PM PDT by conservative98

In a bid to help heal a divided country, Anthony Fauci encouraged the University of Michigan’s Comeback Commencement crowd to challenge untruths and push back on the “egregious distortion of reality” that permeates social media and “so-called news organizations.”

Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, spoke at the May 7 event, two years in the making due to the COVID-19 pandemic for which Fauci helped guide the nation’s response.

In his Michigan Stadium address, he discussed the divisiveness of the nation and his view of its intensity from Washington, D.C. He said the “normalization of untruths” has invaded elements of society, propagated by “certain elected officials in positions of power.”

“If you remember nothing else from what I say today, I truly appeal to you, please remember this: It is our collective responsibility not to sink to a tacit acceptance of the normalization of untruths, because if we do, we bring danger to ourselves, our families and our communities,” he said.

“This is how a society devolves into a way of life where voracity becomes subservient to propaganda rather than upheld as a guiding principle for creating and sustaining a just social order.”

The idea that one side in this country has that they own the truth is starting to get enraging. It’s going to cause trouble guaranteed. Seriously.

Like the untruth that the virus did not originate for the lab that Fauci funded?

Not a touch of embarrassment about the Johnson and Johnson announcement yesterday; clotting known from the first week it was out, he’s never said peep about it I know of.

Like skipping the vaccines and masks, and upping my Vitamin C and Vitamin D intake. I haven’t gotten sick in almost 2 years.

I am a charter member of the unvacced control group to prove Fauci was pushing poison.

From the article:

“Paul excoriated Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, for what he said were traits of arrogance and self-righteousness characteristic of the worst sort of dictators.”

How can he be so right for all the wrong reasons while being completely oblivious to his own role in this.
