At 53 years service, Dr. Anthony Fauci is the highest paid, and  the longest serving employee of the federal government.  Fauci joined the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1968.  In 1980, he was appointed Chief of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation.  Fauci became the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in 1984, a title he still holds.  1984 was the appropriate date for his promotion because his recent pronouncements are reminiscent of those issued by George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth.  In January 2021, Fauci also became chief medical adviser on the Wuhan virus to Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden.  Given Fauci’s tenure, and his penchant for lying to the American public, he deserves one more title, Surgeon General of the Swamp.  It pains me to write this, because for a long time, I was willing to believe Fauci was the competent, friendly doctor he portrays himself to be.  From the start of the Wuhan crisis, we’ve been belabored with demands to “follow the science.”  Dr. Fauci typified the medical expert who had all the answers and was just trying to advance public health.  Fauci was “the science.”  However, Fauci’s performance has been a litany of mistakes, deceptions, irrational pronouncements, and outright lies.  If the past year has proven anything, it’s proven that the medical experts relied upon by the U.S. government, all of whom are representatives of the most advanced medical and scientific community in the world, had absolutely no clue what the Wuhan virus was, where it was going, how to control it, how to treat its victims, or when it would subside.  Now, given the fact that the Wuhan was a brand new pathogen, all of those shortcomings could have been excused – if Fauci and the other experts had told us the truth.  They could have said, “Look, this is an unknown bug.  Until we learn more about it we need to crack down.”  We would have understood that.  But they didn’t.  Fauci and friends spoke with a disastrous combination of certitude and ignorance.  And as addicted to the spotlight as any politician, Fauci was the worst offender.  Remember, Fauci began 2020, on TV in January, February and even March, assuring Americans we had nothing to fear from the Wuhan.  I have no evidence for this, but I suspect that Fauci played down the virus because his buddies in China, a/k/a the World Health Organization, told him it wasn’t dangerous.  Fauci was advising Trump at the time.  Trump relied on Fauci.  Fauci said don’t worry, Trump repeated his advice, and the narrative became – “Trump didn’t take the virus seriously.”  Trump had televised conferences every day, at which Fauci spoke his mind.  After Trump, Fauci announced he felt “liberated,” and he accused Trump of “a lack of candor.”  This from a man who has flipped and flopped on virtually every issue, and who proudly admits he lied to us.  Fauci flipped from March 2020, “no American should be wearing a mask,” to “masks might help some,” to you must wear a mask,” to his most recent back flip, recommending that you wear two masks to keep the mask tighter on your face.  Why the changes?  Fauci admits he lied, but for our own good.  Here’s where he is now – And if you want a really tight mask, there is a better way

A year after the pandemic began, Fauci says, even after being vaccinated we must wear masks until next year, and “There are things, even if you’re vaccinated, that you’re not going to be able to do in society: for example, indoor dining, theaters, places where people congregate.”  And, of course, Fauci always sets a good exampleSo, Fauci supports stringent lockdowns and travel restrictions, right?  Wrong!  Last March, when President Trump wanted to ban flights from China, one person fought against it – Anthony Fauci.   According to Peter Navarro, “The guy I fought the most was Fauci.  He was adamantly opposed to the travel ban. All he kept saying was travel restrictions don’t work.”  Maybe Fauci’s close ties to China had something to do with his opposition.  Later, Fauci flipped, admitting that the travel ban saved lives.  Last March, Fauci was touting the “Two weeks to stop the spread” plan.  Remember that?  We would lock down for two weeks and take the pressure off hospitals.  Two weeks turned into 30 days, then 60, and a year later some States are still locked down, even though Wuhan infections are down 77%.  And Fauci is all for continued lockdowns, because they keep him on TV.  When Andrew Cuomo was busy blowing his own horn and winning an Emmy, Fauci indulged the Cuomo fairy tales, saying, Cuomo “did it correctly.”  Did what correctly?  Killed tens of thousands in nursing homes?

  What about herd immunity?  Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins reports more than half of all Americans have had Wuhan, and now have natural immunity, plus 80 million Americans have been vaccinated, and by the end of March it will be 150 million.  Makary predicts herd immunity by May.  Not Fauci.  Here, he’s done a hop, flip and jump, admitting he “slowly but deliberately has been moving the goal posts” on the percentage of the population that needs to be vaccinated before herd immunity is reached.  “When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent.  Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80, 85.” Recently he said, “We really don’t know what the real number is.  I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent,” and no herd immunity till late 2022.  Huh?  The more people we vaccinate, the higher the number for herd immunity?  Maybe Fauci just doesn’t want to leave the stage.

   But most alarming of all are Fauci’s ties to the Chinese government, and disturbing reports that Covid-19 may have been created in the Wuhan lab as part of research paid for by NIH.  No, this is not a right-wing conspiracy theory.  It comes from The Washington Post, which lately has embraced the Wuhan lab leak theory and called for an investigation into the research lab that was funded in part with some $7 million U.S. tax dollars from the NIH.  Fauci’s boss, NIH Director Francis Collins supported the resumption of dangerous gain-of-function research which involves passing wild viruses through live animals until they mutate into a type that could  pose a pandemic threat.  With more than 2.5 million dead worldwide, I guess they succeeded.  Fauci supported gain-of-function research, and he has been far too willing to blindly accept the lies 0f the Chinese government and their lackeys in the WHO.  Simply put, it’s time for 80 year old Dr. Fraud to retire.  With a $200k plus pension, he can afford to go.
