Miranda Devine: Anthony Fauci Was the ‘Big Head’ of COVID Response

Until now, the deceitful health bureaucrat’s reputation has remained intact despite damning revelations about his attempted cover-up of the origins of COVID-19, suspected involvement in outsourcing dangerous research on bat viruses to China and mishandling of the pandemic.

But, days before Fauci has to again face his nemesis, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, on Capitol Hill, his excruciatingly embarrassing diary entries have turned him into a laughingstock. In a bombshell data dump Saturday, Paul, chairman of the Senate’s oversight committee, which will grill Fauci under oath on Wednesday, released what he said was Fauci’s diary from December 2019 through December 2022.

“What he wrote privately and what he told the country are two different stories,” tweeted Paul, who has long accused Fauci of being involved in the virus’ creation.

On page 302 of the new personal records of Dr. Fauci released by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Fauci complains that in 2013, HHS didn't let him do a CNN television interview because of "pure jealousy", adding that it was because he's a "rockstar" who was "stealing their thunder."

I am the great Fauci !!! Pay no attention to the Chinese behind that curtain!

[PGR88]

God Bless Rand Paul - he’s the only one in Congress keeping attention on Fauci’s crime of the century, and all the massive political corruption stemming from it.

...waiting for some fool to now say “Paul’s a grandstander, why hasn’t Fauci been arrested?”

The diaries also show Fauci’s delight at how famous he was becoming. He comes off as a real tool.

Press is going wild with me

“Everyone in the WH is congratulating me on the piece [fawning Politico profile of Fauci]. The public adulation of me has been amazing with every young intern as well as seasoned veteran in the WH coming over to me congratulating me and thanking me for my work and even asking for selfies.”

I want Fauci tried before a jury of beagles.

What a narcissistic little ghoul.

[Sicon]

“he considers me ‘one of the most important public servants in the history of the country’ given that I have saved millions of lives over the last several years . . ."

Ah, and delusional as well.

[Sicon]

It is simply a tragedy that a man so flawed could wield such power.

And embarrassing that so many idiots couldn't see through that little crap-weasel the moment he opened his mouth.

Fauci is one sick and evil puppy

[rdcbn1]

Rand Paul’s conduct of the Covid pandemic investigations has been absolutely stellar

[antceecee]

Excellent idea!
