Fauci hits back at GOP criticism over emails: 'It's all nonsense'
The Hill ^ | 06/05/21 07:40 AM EDT | BY JESSE BYRNES

Posted on 06/06/2021 1:33:19 AM PDT by RandFan

White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci late Friday pushed back on fresh criticism from Republicans following the release of thousands of his emails this week, calling the backlash "inappropriate" and "misleading."

"It's really very much an attack on science," Fauci said during an interview on MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" when asked about the latest attacks targeting him.

"I mean, it is what it is. I'm a public figure, I'm going to take the arrows and the slings, but they're just — they're fabricated, and that's just what it is," added Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

"My job was to make a vaccine and use my institute and these talented scientists that we have there and that we fund in the various universities to get a vaccine that was highly safe and highly effective," he continued.

"We succeeded," he said. "All the other stuff is just a terrible, not happy type of distraction. But it's all nonsense."

So many lies, its hard to comprehend.

Fauci is drowning in the truth of his own emails. He has only two choices. He can resign or keep issuing a blanket denial and depend on his reputation (LOL) saving him. He is doing the latter until he has to resign, probably next week.

The article is also full of lies. The biggest one being that Fauci never directly discounted the lab leak. Perhaps not, but he did everything he could to organize a propaganda campaign to that affect.

Fauci has been a strong proponent of GOF for many years before 2017. Personally, I think that Fauci’s ego is driving him to join the top tier of famous disease fighters (Pasteur, Jenner, Walter Reed, Salk etc) with breakthrough MRNA vaccines that can be synthetically mass-produced for vaccines very rapidly after new disease outbreaks.

But instead of waiting for natural zoonotic outbreaks, the big proponents of the synthetic MRNA vaccines wanted to play with new man-made viruses, in order to more rapidly develop the vaccines, so they used GOF to create new viruses to accelerate the development research process. IOW, he wanted credit for the next great medical breakthrough “on his watch,” before he retires/dies.

This is, I believe, what explains this 2012 Fauci quote:

>>But Fauci was actually a longstanding fan of gain-of-function research despite its deadly risks.

In 2012, he pondered the possibility that, “an important gain-of-function experiment involving a virus with serious pandemic potential is performed” and then badly replicated so that a “scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic?”

What was Fauci’s response to a pandemic caused by dangerous gain-of-function research?

“Scientists working in this field might say – as indeed I have said – that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks.”<<

So the little *****r in his pride and vanity got played by... whom?

The CCP? Hell yes. And a host of others with familiar names, all about to now leave him holding the syringe. The org chart will never be published.

His best legal defense may be to say, Covid was really no worse than the flu, it was the scary nonsense created by the media and politicians that made it seem worse.

IF ONLY we could hang Gates & Fauci at the same time on the same platform.

Democrats that threaten the cabal by their incompetence and/or malevolence are often thrown under the bus. I think this may be the start of that process.

IMHO, of course.

Forget where it came from for a minute......

Fauci killed thousands by not treating people with available drugs....

When you get so sick you have to go to the hospital then we will treat you

There were no studies so we cannot give the drugs...

What a fool....

Fauci knows his time is limited to join the pantheon of Pasteur, Jenner, Salk, Walter Reed etc.

He was willing to do anything to continue GOF, which, in my mind, Fauci thought was his path to the big prize, modern rapidly fielded synthetic super vaccines.

Just my opinion. It’s not about money, or power, but ego.

And Fauci was super dishonorable to cover up his own links to continuing GOF in Wuhan, while standing next to Trump saying it was zoonotic. Total lie, and he knew it.

An honorable man would have laid all his cards on the table (his links to continuing GOF) but instead he lied, and hid his links, while people were dying.

Total POS.

Yes, pride and vanity. I think your opinion is as plausible as what one might otherwise assume - that Fauci is sympatico with the CCP and the maoists in our own midst - we know who many of them are; their names are legion. Which is also possible but consider Fauci and how he's behaved. The Fox News graphic for Fauci has him in caricature, looking into a mirror, with a caption "Look at ME!"

Very easy to just consider him an evil little ***k and leave it at that.

The people who set Fauci up (Please, DON'T infer any sympathy for him here because there is none) aren't students of scripture but they do understand human nature. Fauci is due for his fall now, and the biggest villains and killers will have left him holding the syringe, for now.

Joe is one of them. You know, Joe. Joe from Scranton.

“Fauci killed thousands by not treating people with available drugs”

It went beyond that. He denied them access to these drugs.

“It went beyond that. He denied them access to these drugs.”

To clarify, Fauci cannot directly deny these treatments, but his (and CDC’s) “guidelines” carry a lot of weight.

The biggest threats to a medical practice are malpractice lawsuits and medical board censures.

A doctor may prescribe HCQ and/or other prophylaxis treatments for COVID, but they would be operating outside of these guidelines, and therefore putting their practice at risk. Very few doctors are willing to take that risk.
