Fauci finally admits he ‘botched’ response to COVID-19:

Dr. Anthony Fauci is finally telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Dr. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has flip-flopped on masks, repeatedly declared that draconian lockdowns were necessary (even at the cost of destroying the economy) and dismissed worries that shutting down schools would have disastrous effects on school-aged children.

But now he admits he and his team “botched” certain aspects of how to handle COVID-19 after it hit the U.S. in March 2020.

“We didn’t know masks worked outside of the hospital setting. There was supposedly a shortage of good masks for the people who were taking care of individuals,” the doctor said in an interview that aired last week at the Texas Tribune Festival.

Dr. Fauci began the pandemic by saying in March 2020, “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.”

“When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is,” the doctor said on CBS News.

Then, in January 2021 — long after it was clear masks at least help —Dr. Fauci said wearing two masks is likely more effective than wearing one. “If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on it, just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective,” he told NBC News. --->READ MORE HERE

Dr. Fauci and wife’s wealth ‘skyrocketed’ by $5 million during pandemic:

Dr. Anthony Fauci and his wife’s net worth grew by $5 million during the COVID-19 pandemic as thousands of US residents struggled financially, according to a government spending watchdog group.

The combined wealth of the 81-year-old retiring director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and his bioethicist wife, Christine Grady, soared from $7.5 million in 2019 to $12.6 million at the end of 2021, according to a report from the non-profit OpenTheBooks.

“Despite becoming a figure of controversy, the system has rewarded Dr. Fauci handsomely,” the group’s CEO, Adam Andrzejewski, told Fox News Digital. “While Dr. Fauci has been a government bureaucrat for more than 55 years, his household net worth skyrocketed during the pandemic.”

The couple’s wealth boost was due in part to major salary increases, cash awards and royalties, according to the report.

“Fauci’s soaring net worth was based on career-end salary spiking, lucrative cash prizes awarded by non-profit organizations around the world and an ever-larger investment portfolio,” Andrzejewski said.

“He is the top-paid federal employee, his first-year golden parachute retirement pension is the largest in federal history, and he’s accepting $1 million prizes from foreign non-profits,” he added. --->READ MORE HERE
