Back in the summer of 2021, 18 months after the COVID pandemic began in this country, Dr. Anthony Fauci, then director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and a top presidential COVID adviser, launched attacks on his critics.
Fauci asserted the accusations against him were “attacks on science.”
“It’s very dangerous,” Fauci told MSNBC. “A lot of what you’re seeing as attacks on me quite frankly are attacks on science, because all of the things that I have spoken about consistently from the very beginning, have been fundamentally based on science.”He added, “People want to fire me or put me in jail for what I’ve done — namely, follow the science.”
Now, Fauci has been brought before a House of Representatives Select Committee to review the response to COVID and its origins. He can’t recall much of the science he said he followed.
Testifying behind closed doors on Capitol Hill on Monday, Dr. Anthony Fauci said over 100 times that he “did not recall” important information and conversations relevant to the origins of Covid-19 and the U.S. pandemic response he presided over.“The face of our nation’s response to the world’s worst public health crisis ‘does not recall’ r key details about COVID-19 origins and pandemic-era policies,” House Coronavirus Select Subcommittee chairman Brad Wenstrup (R., Ohio) said in a statement Monday night. The “potentially preventable pandemic” ultimately resulted in the deaths of nearly 1.2 million Americans, the Ohio Republican noted.In late November, Wenstrup announced that Fauci had agreed to testify before his subcommittee in a private setting over the course of two days. Before retiring at the end of 2022, Fauci served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical advisor under the Trump and Biden administrations.
In fact, the Select Subcommittee published highlights of Fauci’s testimony on X:
Fauci can’t recall some really important elements of pandemic policy. For example, he can’t remember the origins of social distancing….which was used to close schools and shut down businesses.
Dr. Anthony Fauci confessed to lawmakers Tuesday that guidelines to keep six feet of separation — ostensibly to limit the spread of COVID-19 — “sort of just appeared” without scientific input.Fauci, 83, revealed to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic that the “six feet apart” recommendation championed by him and other US public health officials was “likely not based on scientific data,” according to Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), who is also a physician….“It never struck me that six feet was particularly sensical in the context of mitigation,” Dr. Ashish Jha, the dean of the Brown University School of Public Health who served as President Biden’s COVID response coordinator for 15 months, told the New York Times in March 2021. “I wish the CDC would just come out and say this is not a major issue.”
Fauci also said that the lab leak origin of COVID was credible.
Dr Anthony Fauci admitted that the lab leak Covid origin theory was credible as he shed more light on the chaotic decision-making process behind the scenes of America’s pandemic response.During his second day of marathon grilling by Congress , the former White House advisor confessed that the lab leak – the idea Covid was engineered and accidentally released from a lab in Wuhan – was ‘not a conspiracy theory’.The U-turn is significant because he was the chief architect of a 2020 paper that discounted the theory. Fauci’s friends and former colleagues also spearheaded a paper in the Lancet that called believers conspiracy theorists and racists.
Fauci wanted fame and notoriety. He gets his wish as being the architect of the most destructive era in this nation’s history.
