Former COVID czar Dr. Anthony Fauci gave closed-door testimony before Congress last week, so it’s time yet again for the Fauci Follies!
The pint-size patron saint of the failed restrictionist policies that lefties and COVID crazies love simply can’t admit he’s lost a massive argument with reality.
The Not-So-Good Doctor got off to a weak start in DC, surprising House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chair Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) with “how much he doesn’t recall” from the start of the pandemic.
How convenient!
Fauci, after all, led the effort in the early days of the pandemic to quash the idea (now regarded as probable by the feds) that COVID sprang from the Wuhan Institute of Virology — throwing his considerable weight behind efforts to smear and suppress anyone who dared to dissent.
That’s after he admitted in private he took it seriously.
And before COVID even hit, he was passing funds to the WIV via the EcoHealth Alliance as the NIH helped pay for gain-of-function research there.
All great stuff to forget.
Then there’s the anti-COVID policies he championed: social distancing and vaccine mandates for schools and businesses.
On some of it, Fauci seems finally to have come clean. Per Wenstrup, he “claimed that the policies and mandates he promoted may unfortunately increase vaccine hesitancy for years to come.”
Americans have lost faith in institutions because of the flip-flopping Faucis in power No shock there: He and his cronies encouraged draconian rules around vaccines that don’t meaningfully stop transmission or infection, even as the medical establishment did everything it could to make talking about their (real but thankfully rare) side effects taboo.
On social distancing, it seems he’s admitted the whole thing was completely fake from the start.

This guy needs tar and feathering at the least. Double check that the tar is good and hot.
Ah, once again, those so-called conservative media outlets are shilling for the medical misinformation propagandists. Closed-door testimony, yet this is the third "article" I have seen claiming to tell us about it. And it is chock full of lies to help the charlatans further their undermining of public health:

There was no flip-flopping. This is a lie created by those who have a vested interest in undermining public health (and in getting more Republicans to die than Democrats). When no one had any information, the Trump administration had to rely on best practices used to control the spread of other respiratory illness. And the scientists went to work, dropping other projects in order to focus on SARS-CoV-2 research in order to provide the information the public health community desperately needed.
The notion that the vaccines do nothing is not based on any scientific evidence whatsoever. They are 95% effective at preventing serious disease and death. The chance of being diagnosed with Covid is decreased, and for those who do have breakthrough infections, their symptoms are milder, they are less contagious and contagious for a shorter period of time.
The death rate from Covid is still 1%. It has dropped because those who are vaccinated and catch Covid are less likely to die.
So masks DO work!
