In a maddening interview yesterday, Anthony Fauci performed his usual song and dance when faced with even the most mild questioning. He stonewalled in his trademarked way.
He spoke in long, drawn-out sentences, emphasizing the word consonants, punctuated by pauses and silences that convey the sense of precision without the reality. He strung together terms that seem vaguely scientific which intimidated his interviewers into an overly cautious pose.
“Oh wow, I’m interviewing a very powerful person,” the interviewer thinks, “so I had better not say anything wrong!”
He’s been pulling this trick for 40 years. He is very good at it.
In this interview, several messages stands out: 1) in retrospect, we should have locked down even more, 2) he never pushed lockdowns; he was only passing on CDC guidance, and 3) he is utterly and completely blameless for all things, particularly in funding gain-of-function research which, in any case, is not responsible for the creation of the virus in Wuhan.
The first part is startling because many of us have had the sense that lockdowns are in disrepute. Far from it: Fauci’s message is that next time, the lockdowns will be harder and longer. And there certainly will be more. The third part I feel sure will be revealed in time. The fear that the virus escaped from the lab is likely what drove the lockdowns agenda.
What intrigues me the most is the second part, the claim that he never ordered lockdowns. This was the CDC and he only served as messenger. Everyone else is to blame for anything that went wrong. --->READ MORE HERE

Critics roasted President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci after the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) chief falsely claimed he never advocated for lockdowns, deeming him the “biggest cheerleader” for such restrictions, rules, and invasive mandates.
Fauci made the claim during a Monday appearance on the Hill‘s “Rising,” in which he claimed he “didn’t recommend locking anything down.”
“You’re asking me questions, you’re talking about — the CDC’s the public agency that uses their epidemiologists and their science-based approach to make recommendations,” Fauci said during the interview, stunning listeners as he had, in fact, bragged about recommending lockdowns.
During a conversation in October 2020 with Holy Cross students, Fauci made it crystal clear that it was he who recommended former President Trump initiate lockdowns.
“When it became clear that we had community spread in the country … I recommended to the president that we shut the country down. That was a very difficult decision, because I knew it would have serious economic consequences, which it did,” Fauci boasted at the time.
He went as far as calling it “unfortunate” that the United States did not shut down to the level China or Korea did. It is for that reason that the illness continued to spread, according to Fauci, even though the country was widely locked down. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
