. They published screenshots showing a fraction of these – 11 texts sent during Fauci’s tenure as director (NIAID). exchange on January 25, 2021, Dr. Vivek Murthy, member of Biden’s Covid advisory board, asked about risk to pregnant, whether Fauci knew any “data or reason vaccinating early vs late in pregnancy would be preferred.” Fauci “no data or theoretical reason to believe that vaccinating early versus later would be preferred.” “Since many people have significant cytokines storm and fever after the 2nd dose, could be associated with miscarriage 1st trimester.” Walensky, -director CDC, “ good point, esp after dose two.”...

Dr. Anthony Fauci privately discussed concerns about COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for pregnant women in January 2021, including questions about fever after a second dose and a theoretical risk of miscarriage during the first trimester, according to newly released text messages obtained from his government-issued cell phone. The exchange involved Fauci, then-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Dr. Vivek Murthy, who would later become former President Joe Biden's surgeon general. Fauci said, because many people experience significant cytokine-related symptoms and fever after a second dose, that reaction "theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st...

After envy, the most self-destructive emotion is the desire to be on TV, destroying the reputations of, among others, Michael Avenatti, Andrew Cuomo, Eric Swalwell and—since the release of his diary—Anthony Fauci. Except in Fauci’s case, his fame-mongering was less self-destructive than simply destructive, as demonstrated by David Zweig’s amazing book, “An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions” (MIT Press). As Zweig demonstrates, Fauci had to know the restrictive COVID measures he pushed would do enormous damage to the country—to little kids, dying patients, cancer victims, college students, restaurants, the travel industry, budding...

Chuck Todd on Thursday sadly criticized the poor optics of Anthony Fauci pleading the fifth amendment over a hundred times during his Senate hearing last week. Ironically, Todd during his appearance on CNN's News Central seemed to have forgotten the incredibly poor Covid optics of his own namely his July 1, 2021 finger wagging shtick in which he angrily denounced, with misinformation, those in the audience who still hadn't gotten the Covid vaccine. First let us look at Todd's criticism of Fauci pleading the Fifth at the Senate hearing.

We are finally getting a clearer picture of what happened during COVID. Not because the people who locked us up, masked our faces and forced unproven chemicals into our bodies have suddenly become transparent, but because Anthony Fauci’s COVID-era diary is coming into public view. This long document makes one thing painfully clear: the people who forced us to surrender our lives to their expertise did not have the expertise they claimed. At best, they were guessing. And when their guesses failed, they did not retreat. They didn’t come clean. They doubled down. Arrogance unbridled.. Our health, our freedoms, our...

5 most jaw dropping moments from Fauci's Senate testimony Video...

I’m sure it is unpleasant to have your private diary made public, which is why I don’t keep one. Anthony S. Fauci was not so circumspect, and worse still, he kept his personal notes on a government computer. Their release last week by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), ahead of scheduled Senate testimony, has embarrassed Fauci and revived old resentments. Many entries seem almost purposely crafted to inflame every lingering conservative grievance over the pandemic. Fauci, who helped lead the U.S. response to covid-19, records many laudatory interactions with famous and influential liberals. He details behind-the-scenes maneuvering over restrictive covid policies....

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responded to insults from Dr. Anthony Fauci written during the pandemic, calling them "badges of honor" in an appearance Monday on FOX News. In his 'diaries' from August 2021, Fauci wrote: "Besides being a total jerk, he is causing people to die in his home state.” Four days later: “Governor DeSantis is a complete disgrace." "I think those are badges of honor, to have him attacking me," DeSantis said. "The diaries, I think, really validate what I saw early on. This is a guy who was drinking his own Kool-Aid. He was venerated by the media."...

We’ve been preparing all wrong for pandemics by imagining bureaucratic wizards will manage them best. This week, the Senate Homeland Security Committee subpoenaed Dr. Anthony Fauci to testify. The committee secured extensive daily logs he had prepared while at NIH heading up the COVID-19 response. (The committee still lacks almost 700 pages of these logs, all of which had been secreted on 11 different government servers until retrieved by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.) The contrast between what he wrote in his hidden logs and his public statements was extreme. To take but one example, he admits in the log...

“I have nothing to hide. I can explain and validate everything that I’ve done.” —Dr. Anthony Fauci, recorded for TV in 2022 However you cut this Fauci business, one thing Americans have learned is how slippery and treacherous this thing called The Law has become. You saw it in the sundry Trump prosecutions of 2024, too — a marvelous demonstration of how to play Hide-the-Salami with the truth about anything and everything. You saw it in the structured failure to adjudicate election fraud in 2020. You saw it in the Jan-6 prosecutions and the Congressional Jan-6 Committee charade that followed....

Mother Jones on Dr. Anthony Fauci: The diary entries contain plenty of cringeworthy moments—Fauci congratulating himself on how famous he had become, for example, and basking in the attention of female celebrities like Julia Roberts and Barbra Streisand. What they don’t contain—much to the dismay of Paul and Fauci’s other critics—is any kind of smoking gun proving that the public health leader deliberately misled the American people. I wonder what Mother Jones would consider a smoking gun. On February 9th, 2020, appearing on the Newt Gingrich podcast “Newt’s world,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said the idea that Covid-19 came from a...

Thursday’s Morning Joe spent little time on Anthony Fauci’s actual refusal to answer questions at yesterday's Senate committee hearing, and far more time insisting the real COVID villains were Donald Trump and his “spineless minions.” Joe Scarborough opened with a puerile stunt, pretending he hadn't seen the hearing, but was sure the Republicans had finally admitted that the president had lied to the American people about the seriousness of the pandemic.Jonathan Lemire and Mika Brzezinski played along with Scarborough's charade, facetiously informing him that “that’s not quite how yesterday played out,” and accusing Joe of poor show prep. The screencap...

A fugitive on the FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters List was returned to Florida to face federal charges for her alleged role in a $32 million federal COVID-19 relief fund fraud. Elaine Escoe, 41, was charged by indictment in 2025 with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering, as well as multiple substantive counts of wire fraud and money laundering. Escoe had been on the run since May 2025 and was captured in Jamaica while living under the fake identity of “Harley Newman.” After being charged, she failed to appear in court and fled. On June 4, the FBI announced...

On the day before Anthony Fauci came to the Senate for a congressional hearing, the Trump-Bhattacharya National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a new policy to prohibit gain-of-function research like the kind that led to COVID-19.Fauci’s NIH subsidiary directed millions of dollars in funding to the Wuhan, China, lab where it is almost certain scientists manufactured and leaked the COVID-19 virus. In fact, the Biden autopen pardon for Fauci covers all the way back to 2014 because that is precisely when Fauci began funding bat coronavirus research in Wuhan. Bureaucrats and petty dictators shut down our country and disrupted our...

THE ORIGIN “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” publication — which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory — was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated naturally. 1. The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature. 2. Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events. 3. Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering...

Senator Holling. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well, nothing says honesty like taking the fifth, huh, Doc? Let's try something. What day of the week is it today? On the advice of council, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the Constitution. What color tie are you wearing? On the advice of council, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. What color is the carpet in front of you? On the advice of council, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the...

Dr Anthony Fauci invokes Fifth Amendment not to testify at Senate hearing

Eye-popping diary entries written by Dr. Anthony Fauci reveal the former White House COVID advisor was fixated on his newfound celebrity at the height of the global pandemic, but anyone who relies on legacy media outlets for news and information may not be aware. ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, CNN and MS NOW's on-air broadcasts ignored Fauci’s diary entries from the time they were released on Saturday afternoon through Monday at 9 a.m. ET when flagship morning shows had concluded, according to a search of transcripts using Grabien Media. Released by Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky.,...

Dr. Anthony Fauci declined to answer senators’ questions at a hearing Wednesday on the origins of Covid and the government’s handling of the pandemic, saying in prepared remarks that he would invoke his 5th Amendment right not to testify to avoid the possibility that Republicans could try to use his testimony to prosecute him for perjury. The surprise decision shook up the hearing, which was expected to be contentious given Fauci’s previous public clashes with Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky.

As COVID cases and deaths began to soar in the spring of 2020, America desperately needed a trustworthy public-health leader. Instead, we got Dr. Anthony Fauci — and now his diary entries from that time are showing just how incredibly unworthy of the nation’s trust he truly was.Time and again, his private notes contradict what he was telling the world at the very same time, and the stories he’s spun up since to protect his unearned reputation.For starters, he insisted time and again that the “lab leak hypothesis” was a wacky conspiracy theory, that the virus had jumped naturally from...
