Rand Paul calls out a slippery, evasive Anthony Fauci
American Thinker ^ | 03/19/2021 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 03/19/2021 7:18:01 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Ever since getting a big spotlight in the public eye, the National Institutes of Health's Dr. Anthony Fauci, billed by a fawning press as America's foremost expert on infectious diseases, has revealed himself a slippery chameleon or magician of sorts, constantly changing his recommendations and positions on public health in a bid to extend the coronavirus crisis as far out as possible.

He's pretty well burned up all of his credibility with the public as a result, as New York Post columnist and Instapundit-himself Glenn Reynolds notes here, but he doesn't seem to know it. He continues his role as snake-charmer, or snake-oil salesman, assuming a fawning media will continue to carry him through.

He got called out. By probably the sharpest guy in the Senate, (and my favorite), Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who questioned his ever more elaborate mask mandate recommendations. According to the New York Post:

“You’ve been vaccinated and you parade around in two masks for show,” Paul told Fauci. “You can’t get it again there’s almost zero percent chance you’re going to get it.”

“And you’re telling people that have had the vaccine who have immunity — you’re defying everything we know about immunity by telling people to wear masks who have been vaccinated,” he continued.

“You want to get rid of vaccine hesitancy? Tell people to quit wearing their masks after they get the vaccine,” Paul added.

In response, Fauci quipped, “Here we go again with the theater.”

“Let me just state for the record that masks are not theater, masks are protective,” Fauci said.

Paul snapped back: “If you have immunity they’re theater. If you already have immunity you’re wearing a mask to give comfort to others.”

“I totally disagree with you,” Fauci responded.

What Fauci revealed in that exchange is that he has a stake in continuing the coronavirus lockdowns and maskings forever. That's his source of power and influence and he's not ready to leave the spotlight or go back to his former obscurity. Fauci essentially told Paul that the vaccine is a nothingburger, COVID-19 will never end (despite the evidence seen in Texas and Florida) and masks are to be a way of life.

For those who don't remember, Paul, who has actually had COVID-19, has no reason to wear a mask, he after all has immunity even without the vaccine. No matter how many COVID patients cough all over him, he can't spread the disease to anyone.

Well, Fauci needs to explain the evidence that causes him to disagree. But he didn’t, which is telling.

Fauci must be screaming at his Deep State handlers for leaving him out there all alone to answer unanswerable questions in public. To which they will reply: “Hey, you’re the one who wanted to be rich and famous...”

In another AT article, Anthony Castellito writes:

Various questions remain, even a few months after the emergency use authorization of vaccines designed to target the enigma that is COVID-19.

Is the ultimate purpose of these 3 non-FDA-approved American designed vaccines to stop the spread of infection, or is it primarily to lessen the symptoms and severity of COVID-19?

If viral spread is at least partially attributed to asymptomatic carriers, how will a lessening of symptoms via mass vaccination prevent further spread?

And if a majority of those infected don’t have symptoms, why should they take the vaccine? How is herd immunity achieved if the vaccines offered only lessens the symptoms?

These are just a few of the questions that Dr. Fauci has thus far insufficiently addressed.

Masks were useless, but now they’ve been assigned miraculous powers by this dubious little sorcerer. Next thing, he will be changing his recommendation from 60 percent vaccination compliance to a figure closer to 100 percent worldwide...oh, wait, he already has.

Fauci is his name, and deception his game. His legacy will be fraught with fraud and shame.

Remember his recommendation for double masking? He also once said something about wearing goggles to protect the eyes from the virus. If it was up to him, we would all be wearing space suits as we sit at home, forbidden to go anywhere. And he would decree security cameras be installed in our homes, so we can be monitored to make sure we are wearing our spacesuits in the privacy of our own homes.

Follow his money.

Have you seen this one on PEPFAR? It’s 45 minutes, connects the player$.

https://www.bitchute.com/video/RSfP8sXtMbk/

In a nutshell:
CDC/PEPFAR (Birx, FAUCI, Pence) > Global Fund (Birx, Gates, vaccines, $10’s of billions from Fed>via PEPFAR) > UN Development Program (oversees GF spending with closed books via “special immunity”, gets $100’s of millions from Fed for administering) > GF grant recipients (Chinese labs? Hmmm...)

Falsie, “Keep wearing your damn masks and never remove them!”

A *LOT* of people have an interest in keeping the Corona panic going forever

Not just trendy medical people whose careers are profiting - like Fauci and Sanjay Gupta -

but groups like the Democrat Party - it gives an excuse to continue mail-in voting, the most-fraud-susceptible form of voting ... which keeps the crooks in power

plus, most of those speaking out against lockdowns - who are rational, freedom-loving conservatives - can then be labelled as “conspiracy theorists” or “science doubters” and immediately discounted

see, the corona panic is very convenient for some people, so they have no interest in it ever ending!!

I see that worm Fauci ran over to Gayle King on CBS This Morning to call Rand Paul and idiot and a liar and Gayle said Paul was just an eye doctor and Fauci was an expert doctor on infectious disease. I’m glad race instigator Gayle King was balanced, I’m sure she invited Rand
Paul on her show.

I was STUNNED to see a clip of this exchange on our local NBC news this morning, seemingly suggesting that Fauci is full of it and that Rand Paul’s arguments were compelling.

If NBC stations turn on Fauci, his days are numbered, IMO.

Not to mention.... teachers’ unions, all of the federal and state employees who are getting huge bonuses to work at home, everyone employed or invested in efforts to allow future voter fraud.

Tony Fauci is dumb like a fox. His JOB is to get FUNDING for the institute(NIAID - the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) he heads, which is within the NIH-The National Institutes of Health.

When he says conflicting things, from his perspective it emphasizes his institute’s needs for “more research and more funding” -to “figure it all out for the American people”

Its a reward of stupidity-which Congress will act on and increase his budget over the coming months.

The paradigm of rewarding stupidity and confusion is basically a model for increasing federal funding throughout government.

Solutions to problems-especially simple solution-amputate the cash streams

I only caught a snippet of it yesterday, sounded like Fauci was struggling and then someone — female voice sounding like a Verizon robo — interrupted and Falsy slithered away from the grip Paul had on him.
It’s going to take a lot more than that to discredit Fraudsy in the eyes of the general public.
