Now that the Anthony Fauci era may soon be (finally) coming to an end, it may be useful to reflect on the very real damage this man has done over the course of the past several years during the most extraordinary reaction to a viral pandemic the American people have ever seen.
Yes, you read that right. Even during the devastating Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, when 500 million people worldwide were infected with an estimated 50 million deaths, the American reaction through the federal government was relatively muted and the economic impact created at the direction of our national leaders was minimal.
"The immediate economic fallout for the US economy from the coronavirus pandemic is predicted to be disastrous. In comparison, while the Spanish flu also had some economic consequences, they were mostly modest and temporary," wrote professors of finance Efraim Benmelech and Carola Frydman in the early days of Fauci's engineered shut-down.
Under Anthony Fauci's direction and recommendation, the American economy went dormant for "15 days to slow the spread" and then, upon his obstinant insistence, that 15 days was extended and extended and extended, creating economic and social impacts still felt across our nation.
Indeed, as of August 23 (the origination date of this column), 14 states were still operating under Emergency Health protocols, according to the National Academy for State Health Policy. Under Fauci's strong recommendation, states seized power and control of their citizens' rights, livelihoods and liberty in an effort to "slow the spread" a full two and a half years after Fauci's first shut-down advice.
But, remarkably, that's not the worst crime in Fauci's tawdry and shameful legacy.
We could mention the deaths related to other illnesses and diseases that went uninvestigated and unchecked due to strict hospital protocols put in place after Fauci's Napoleanesque power grab. And, let's not forget the despair felt by untold millions of Americans who died without their loved ones able to be at their bedside.
We could also mention the lost academic and socialization years of America's children. The devastating impacts of over two years of isolation and educational indifference aimed at children unlucky enough to live in states other than Florida, Texas, Tennessee and a handful of other regions Fauci's enablers referred to as "Neanderthals" will take decades to fully discover.
Parents were so frustrated by their local school board's insistence in adopting Fauci's draconian lock-down protocols that they were deemed "domestic terrorists" by the Justice Department, and a special team was formed at the FBI to track and investigate parents who just wanted their kids to get back in the classroom. Those disgusting events were also a result of Fauci's megalomania.
You could argue that Fauci's biggest crime was that he was consistently wrong, but never sorry.
And boy, has he been wrong.
He proclaimed that we had a "pandemic of the unvaccinated" at a time when he knew full well (according to his former colleague Deborah Birx) that the vaccines would not protect against infections.
He famously told us not to wear masks because they wouldn't make a difference... he then insisted we wear a mask... he then insisted that we wear multiple masks... he then was consistently seen without masks when he didn't know the cameras were on.
He insisted that the Covid-19 virus originated naturally at a wet market in Wuhan until the overwhelming evidence forced him to backpedal.
His mistakes and lies go on and on... and that's fine... we all make mistakes. But Saint Fauci never acknowledges or apologizes for any of his.
These are all great candidates for Fauci's biggest crimes, but I'll offer one more. One that I think trumps them all.
Because of Anthony Fauci, Americans have a dwindling – if non-existent – level of faith in their public health institutions. When the next "expert" stands in front of the American people to deliver information, advice and warnings about a public health issue, most of us will be skeptical and wonder if what we are hearing has been politicized. And that's Fauci's fault.
Fauci is worse than the boy who cried wolf. He's the boy who told fantastical tales about multiple wolves and wrongly advised on how to protect yourself from those wolves even after saying the wolves would cause you no harm. And now, the next time we hear about a dangerous wolf, our understandable reaction will be to ignore the warnings. And people will die.
Fauci did that. Because he let his ego and petty, political battles take precedence over his duty and responsibility to the American people and the truth.
Goodbye and good riddance.
He ILLEGALLY paid for the GAIN OF FUNCTION that CREATED the WUHAN FLU THAT HAS KILLED MILLIONS! He is a MASS MURDERER!

I was in Walmart, yesterday. Every third shopper was masked! The staff no longer is.
A few were old folks, a LOT were young adults, and many were Soccer Moms with kids in tow. Mom was masked, the kids were not.
The damage Fauci has inflicted upon us will be long-lasting and beyond anything we could have imagined.

I saw someone at lunch yesterday in the car next to me driving with a mask on. A young man. It was 85 & sunny. He a had his windows up. My buddy with me suggested MAYBE he was an Uber driver.

and the lockdown did not work either because "You don't quarantine well people"...A daily walk WITH NO MASK would have been a better instruction.
And then there's the vaccine....which was not preventive at all...
And it appears that the "shots" have weakened any natural immunity...and that's what's causing these break throughs. Notice they're coming after many shots....not just one or two.
You’re down near MA.
Probably not.
I see that up around Lebanon and Hanover, near Dartmouth college.
"... Fauci's biggest crime was that he was consistently wrong, but never sorry. "
So, being wrong and not sorry is worse than being a mass murderer, animal torturer and corrupt government bureaucrat???
Nashua
You still see it in the grocery stores around here.
I want to find the demented Gepetto who carved this block head, garden gnome and slap the Shiite out of him:
“WTF were you thinking?!”
Bttt.
5.56mm
In stores around here (San Antonio, TX) very few are masked but you see them once in a while still.
This is just an attempt to deflect blame from the politicians who actually had the power to invoke mandates, etc.
EXACTLY
B-—C-—D——E-—would NEVER have happened IF Fauci had NOT played with fire at Wuhan.
AND—HE used American TAX FUNDS to do it all.
You’re correct. The decision to follow or reject his advice ultimately belonged to the two Presidents involved. There also seems to have been a closed mind to “science” throughout the “pandemic”, among politicians, the media, and most importantly among the scientific community within and close to the government. Not like there weren’t signs there.
My son and I were in Costco a few weeks ago and noticed a much higher percentage of mask wearers that either of us are used to seeing at our locations.
Nuremburg Trials II. There’s little hope American courts will open an investigation, so it may take an international court to step up in the defense of global citizens tricked into the clot shot and lockdowns. This is/was a worldwide crime.
