Anthony Fauci dismissed the gunshot wound Donald Trump sustained during Saturday's assassination attempt, telling CNN viewers: 'he's in the clear.' Fauci made the comments after the former president, 78, wore a large white bandage over the gunshot wound on his ear throughout the Republican National Convention this week. 'I don't think there is much more to it,' Fauci, 83, said of Trump's wounds while talking to CNN host Wolf Blitzer on Friday. 'It was a bullet shot that grazed his ear.'

Just to preface this post, no, I'm still not 'over' the pandemic, and various government responses to it. It seems as though a lot of people just want to put all that unpleasantness behind us as a society, and move on, but we cannot do that. 'Authoritarianism' is a word that gets tossed about with reckless abandon, typically to describe virtually anything the Left opposes, but COVID triggered an extraordinary avalanche of authoritarian edicts -- many rooted in extremely dubious science, or none at all. Bureaucrats and politicians declared that we must "follow the science," even when they had little-to-no...

Once seen as a symbol of protection against the spread of a deadly virus, masks are now being blamed for emboldening some people to commit acts of violence amid a rise in clashes at protests over the Israel-Hamas war. Elected officials in New York City and Los Angeles have signaled recently that they’re open to reinstating decades-old mask bans after several tense pro-Palestinian demonstrations, where local officials say masked protesters aimed to conceal their identity. Republicans in North Carolina recently signed a controversial mask restriction into law, sparking an intense debate between supporters who cite safety concerns and critics who...

Fauci says Biden 'right on point on things,' though did not elaborate. Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday spoke about President Biden’s age following the president’s much-criticized debate performance against former President Trump. Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, appeared on ABC's "This Week" and was asked about whether Biden, who is 81 years old, should be running for re-election. "You know, I think it's just an individual choice, and you really can't generalize," Fauci said. Fauci, who helped lead the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, said one must look at each person...

On June 24, 2024, a crowd of protesters gathered in front of Culver City High School’s Robert Frost Auditorium in Culver City, California when Anthony Fauci made an appearance to promote his new book “On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service.” The protesters accused the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of mismanagement, malpractice and corruption, among other things.

Dr. Anthony Fauci nearly appeared on The Bump during the pandemic, according to Matt Camp. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic turned the wrestling world upside down. Fans were unable to attend shows, so WWE held tapings in empty arenas before they pivoted to the ThunderDome. Throughout the pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci was often in the news, as he served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and he was also the chief medical advisor to the president from 2021 to 2022 The Young Bucks Say They Are Inserting The Wild Card Into Men's Owen Hart...

Anthony Fauci is still getting a taxpayer-funded security detail and SUV, despite retiring from his $480,000-a-year government job 18 months ago. Now a top Republican has accused the former White House COVID advisor of trying to get 'sympathy' by claiming extremists want to kill him and he is the target of death threats. During the publicity tour to promote his new book, 83-year-old Fauci recently said he is scared 'deep down, that there's a possibility that somebody's gonna kill me.' But that is just a strategy to 'develop empathy and sympathy' and paint 'Republicans as creating this danger,' Sen. Rand...

The mainstream press corps prefers to deal with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. by pretending that he doesn’t exist. This is true both for his presidential campaign—which is thought to pose too much of a threat to President Biden to risk acknowledging it—and for his popular book, The Real Anthony Fauci. Relegated to Skyhorse Publishing, which Wall Street Journal film critic Kyle Smith describes as “something of a refuge for the cancelled,” Kennedy’s book nevertheless cracked the top 15 on the New York Times hardcover nonfiction best-seller list for 15 consecutive weeks—topping out at #7. Yet apparently it did not merit...

The View welcomed Dr. Anthony Fauci on this morning’s episode, where the co-hosts chatted about his experiences with Donald Trump during the early days of the pandemic and the vitriol and threats that he’s continued to experience from his detractors years later. When it was Sunny Hostin‘s turn to ask Dr. Fauci a question, she mentioned the “countless Americans” who lost family and friends to COVID-19. “My husband lost both of his parents — two doctors — within three days of each other from the pandemic,” she told Dr. Fauci, who replied, “I’m sorry.” Hostin continued, “We remember those pandemic...

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that former White House chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci is “one of the classiest people.” Goldberg said, “In his new memoir, “On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service” Dr. Anthony Fauci takes you through his 54 years with the National Institute of Health, taking on terrifying global hazards like the AIDS crisis and being an authority we could trust in D.C. amid the chaos of COVID.” She continued, “Thank you for coming on the show and for everything, everything you’ve done from the very beginning. It’s extraordinary. And you’re no...

Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top adviser to two presidential administrations during the COVID-19 pandemic, reversed course in a Tuesday interview and agreed that shutting down schools for more than a year due to the virus was a “mistake” — while also arguing the initial decision to close classrooms was correct. “Keeping it for a year was not a good idea,” the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) told “CBS Mornings” co-host Tony Dokoupil while talking about his new memoir “On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service.” “So, that was a mistake in retrospect?”...

Another quid pro quo for quid pro Joe? Anthony Fauci’s new book has granted the public more detail concerining the truly impeccable timing of Pfizer’s mRNA Covid-19 vaccine trial data rollout. We already know that Pfizer decided to inexplicably delay publishing the results of their mRNA trial from October 2020 to right after the election, following public and private efforts to prevent President Trump from being granted an “October surprise” that would’ve been helpful to his campaign. In retrospect, the shots were nothing more than junk genetic material. No lives were lost in delaying the distribution of these failed science...

Sen. Rand Paul explains why FOIA litigation shouldn’t have been necessary to find this out.Did COVID-19 originate in a lab? To answer this question, let's revisit the early days of the pandemic and examine what some of Anthony Fauci's inner circle said privately about the origins of the virus—discussions that were only revealed through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation. Evolutionary biologist Kristian Andersen wrote, "The lab escape version of this is so friggin' likely to have happened because they were already doing this type of work and the molecular data is fully consistent with that scenario." Epidemiologist Ian Lipkin...

Former White House chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that because of “political ideology,” there were more COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations in red states versus blue states. Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “We now head into a moment where because of that divisiveness, it’s become a political issue. Vaccinations in particular have become a political issue where you have not just Donald Trump but other Republicans saying, no, no, don’t take the COVID vaccine. We had other prominent figures saying, no, you should not take other vaccines as well, things that are standard that everyone has...

Former chief White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci revealed in a forthcoming book that former President Trump dropped expletives during a 2020 phone call with him during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci recounted in a new autobiography that Trump dropped numerous expletives in the call just three months into the pandemic, according to reports from The New York Times and The Daily Beast. The Daily Beast reported that the rants included Trump screaming f-bombs at Fauci multiple times, according to the copy of the book obtained by the outlet. “The president was irate, saying that I could not keep doing this...

The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has made what the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons Educational Foundation (AAPS) calls a landmark decision in a case – AAPS v. ABIM – seeking the right to proceed with a case alleging censorship. The case was previously dismissed by the District Court for the Southern District of Texas, but the appellate court took the position that AAPS did manage to support its claims with sufficient allegations. We obtained a copy of the decision for you here. AAPS, a professional association, believes that the actions of three other medical associations,...

The Vires Law Group, in conjunction with the Edward L. Tarpley, Jr., APLC and bolstered by the support of the Former Feds Group Freedom Foundation, has announced the submission of criminal referral requests to the District Attorneys of nine Louisiana parishes.The referrals call for the initiation of criminal investigations against Dr. Anthony Fauci, Deborah “Scarf Lady” Birx, Rochelle Walensky, Peter Daszak, and other public health officials for alleged crimes committed against Louisiana citizens preceding and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases under Anthony Fauci funded deadly gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the likely epicenter of the pandemic. Although millions of Americans died from COVID-19, the NIAID apparently did not learn its lesson. According to congressional investigators, the NIAID received approval to execute radical gain-of-function experiments on MPXV, the virus that causes monkeypox. Monkeypox is endemic in various African regions but made a global play in April 2022. The New England Journal of Medicine indicated on the basis of diagnoses in 16 countries that 98% of the persons infected with the virus were homosexual....

Dr Anthony Fauci's former department 'deceived' Congress over its plans to create a Frankenstein monkeypox virus that had pandemic potential, a new report says. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), along with the NIH and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) submitted plans to create a more transmissible and more lethal strain of Mpox in 2015, when Dr Fauci was still in charge. The plans to create a deadlier and highly contagious pathogen were given the green light, but those involved repeatedly lied to lawmakers, asserting the research had never been approved.
