Fauci vs. Freedom
Townhall.com ^ | 21 March A.D. 2021 | Jeff Crouere

Since 1984, Dr. Anthony Fauci has served as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. During that period, his salary has steadily increased. The latest federal government payroll study indicated Fauci earned $417,608 in 2019. His salary not only exceeded the President of the United States, but also of every other person in our federal government with over 4 million employees.

Clearly, he is not only overrated, but also overpaid. It is high time the highest paid federal government employee, Dr. Anthony Fauci, be fired.

Fauci is irritating for a number of reasons. He loves the media and is constantly on television, pontificating about COVID-19. If he provided a consistent, reassuring message, his words of wisdom would be appreciated. Unfortunately, he is very inconsistent, and his changing stories have left Americans confused and dejected about our future. Fauci has frightened countless people with his doom and gloom prognostications about COVID and our future coexistence with the disease.

Initially, Fauci was insistent that masks were not necessary. Today, he not only believes in one mask, but claims that double masking is preferable. While acknowledging the progress of Americans becoming vaccinated, he publicly worries about the threat of COVID variants. He uses this concern to justify continued masking, social distancing, and other mitigation measures. CARTOONS | Al Goodwyn View Cartoon

All of this grandstanding was just too much for U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY). In Senate hearings on Thursday, he exposed Fauci as a total fraud and delivered one of the most effective public takedowns in the annals of the U.S. Senate history.

The senator scolded Fauci for focusing on “theater” instead of public health. He noted that Fauci has “been vaccinated” but continues to “parade around in two masks for show.” Paul told Fauci “There’s virtually 0 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.”

While Fauci responded to Paul by claiming that “I totally disagree with you,” he does “parade around” with masks. The reason for this spectacle is that Fauci wants to gain favor with his new employer, President Joe Biden, and the insufferably liberal mainstream news media. Fauci knows that Biden and the media want to continue the COVID hysteria so that Americans will become more dependent on the government.

In the process, our freedom is diminished, but that is of no concern to Dr. Fauci. According to Senator Paul, “Dr. Fauci is very blasé and unconcerned about liberty, but I think the burden should be on the government to prove it. If they want to dictate mine and your behavior, the burden is on them to present the evidence.”

The problem for Fauci and the mask mania proponents is that the evidence shows these measures are of questionable value. In fact, states such as Florida, that have reopened for business and rescinded the mask mandates, have COVID infection rates that are lower than many of the states that have enforced strict public health mandates.

Despite limited proof of effectiveness, Dr. Fauci and far too many Democratic politicians, such as President Biden, have been quite willing to issue mask mandates, severely limit economic activity and impose a variety of restrictions on our freedom in the name of public health. While these measures may not have stopped COVID, they did destroy 22 million jobs.

The resulting economic catastrophe resulted in millions of Americans suffering from depression. This led to increased rates of suicide, drug overdoses and untreated health problems caused by Americans being afraid to visit physicians and hospitals.

Fortunately, there is good news on the horizon. With vaccines being delivered in greater numbers every day and hospitalization rates plummeting, Americans are ready to return to our normal lives. It is time for our country to resume regular activities and enjoy travel, social events and all aspects of our lives that have been curtailed in the last year.

Of course, the Biden administration, led by Dr. Fauci, is cautioning Americans that a quick return to normal activities could be catastrophic. As he did during the Senate hearing, Fauci is warning about the potential spread of COVID variants in our country. Recommended President Trump Has Plans to Be Back on Social Media. Here's Which One.

Because of this potential threat in the future, Fauci wants the COVID mandates to remain intact. Sadly, too many politicians are only too willing to continue to restrict the freedom of their constituents by issuing an array of executive orders. None of these mandates were approved by legislative bodies. Instead, they were issued by politicians to “keep people safe.”

It is not “safe” to sacrifice freedom in our country. As famously noted by Benjamin Franklin, those who “give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Dr. Fauci claims that he wears a mask as a “symbol” of what Americans “should be doing.” However, as Senator Paul has noted, this type of virtue signaling by Fauci is another one of his “noble lies.”

Americans should reject Fauci and his “noble lies” and once again embrace freedom, our constitutional right that made this country the greatest in the history of mankind. Freedom should be our natural state and if the government is going to restrict it there must be compelling scientific evidence.

The burden must be on the government to restrict these freedoms, not on Americans to claim freedoms. As perfectly stated by Senator Paul, “I should not have to prove that I want to be free, and I want to be left alone in order to breathe the air.”

Go away Dr. Fauci, Americans want to live our lives, enjoy our freedoms and “breathe the air” once again.

Fauci is part of the fraud and ignores the deliberate actions of the Biden regime to spread infected individuals throughout the US and cause a third wave of infection justifying further restrictions on the rest of us.

Same class of bureaucratic criminal as J. Edgar Hoover.

On March 23, 2020, Dr. Vladimir Zelenco mailed ccs of his letter to doctors, to President Trump and Mark Meadows, his Chief of Staff. A few days later both Trump and Fauci mentioned possible treatment for Covid-19 using HCQ, Azithromycin, and zinc. A few days later, they no longer mentioned zinc. Dr. Z had clearly said that zinc was the virus killer, HCQ helped zinc get into cells to kill Covid, and treatment was for 5 days. Also that it worked best when given very early even before Covid was the proven cause of illness.

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-begins-clinical-trial-hydroxychloroquine-azithromycin-treat-covid-19

On May 14, 2020, NIH announced the above clinical study. Here is Dr. Fauci’s statement included in this announcement.
“We urgently need a safe and effective treatment for COVID-19. Repurposing existing drugs is an attractive option because these medications have undergone extensive testing, allowing them to move quickly into clinical trials and accelerating their potential approval for COVID-19 treatment,” said NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. “Although there is anecdotal evidence that hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin may benefit people with COVID-19, we need solid data from a large randomized, controlled clinical trial to determine whether this experimental treatment is safe and can improve clinical outcomes.”

Why did Fauci go along with this study that did NOT include ESSENTIAL VIRUS KILLER ZINC? Why was this NOT targeted at the newly sick? Why was it designed to fail>

Could it be because Fauci was supporting development of Remdesivir which would earn $3000 per treatment instead of the zinc protocol which cost only $20? NIH gets paid a lot by drug companies to test their drugs.

These drugs could not get fast track status if something else already in existence was found to be an effective treatment or preventative.

The FDA is under legal requirements that must be met prior to granting a EUA for a vaccine.

One of those is that there can not be any - available, effective alternative. HCQ met all three.

Does that explain why he discredited HCQ and zinc?

More and more this looks like something beyond just China lovers in action and more like this is a bio weapon that was in development and maybe released before intended, but with a lot of research and cover up assistance by Fauci and others in the Biden Junta.

I have read a lot of the Breggin.com article and found this interesting quote. “Here we see the influence of globalism. People knew each other, people made money
from each other, science trumped national security—any kind of funded collaborative research
with China was almost untouchable and beyond criticism.”

This raises the question as to why we were doing any kind of research collaboration with China. Obama had set up a Pandemic office in the White House, but it seems he stopped research that had a bioweapon objective. It makes sense to be in contact with China regarding the general topic of pandemic pathogens, and monitoring danger sources like wet markets, but we should never be cooperating in any efforts to bioweaponize a pathogen. Fortunately it appears that Obama was smart enough to put a stop to that aspect. Unfortunately the article suggests that President Trump stopped paying attention and Fouci was able to move research to US universities with Chinese researchers doing the research. Anyone who does not consider China, with their 100 year power plan, a clear and present danger is a fool (or a collaborator/traitor?). As to Tedros, of WHO, his first 20 years of education in Ethiopia were experienced under the brutal Communist dictatorship of Mengistu. It is hardly surprising that he is cozy with a Communist dictatorship like China.

If the FDA has a legal requirement that there cannot be an available, effective alternative before it can grant an EUA for producing a vaccine, then that law needed to be changed fast, and still should be. This Covid problem is so large that any and all possible routes need to be followed. Who is responsible for putting such a non-competitive law on efforts to stop a pandemic type illness? Are Gates, who financed 7 different vaccine research projects, and Fauci in collaboration on stifling discovery of any quick and east Covid treatments? Eastern Virginia Medical School(EVMS)has bypassed the HCQ controversy by using Ivermectin as the IONOPHORE to help zinc get into infected cells to kill/stop Covid.

A critical aspect of this and other major diseases is the almost complete lack of attention that is given to nutrition as a part of treatment. EVMS has given good attention to using commonly available nutritional inputs as Prophylaxis and in treatment. In addition to zinc, they include Vitamin D, which should be used by anyone in a northern climate especially in the winter; or by anyone with darker skin as it prevents or slows the entry of this vitamin formed by sun on the skin from entering the body to be used. I am amazed that no US govt. agency like CDC, NIH, or FDA has spread this important information far and wide. I guess Black Lives really don’t Matter. The link below lists the EVMS 2 page protocol for prevention and treatment. A number of supplements and suggested doses are listed. Personally, I take a lot more Vitamin C regularly for my allergies than they recommend. I also think they should list a good vitamin and mineral supplement.
