As I have said, ad nauseam the little evil mans legacy will be that of a petty tyrant. Question him and you question science. lol... I question his allegiance to our country
=============================================
An authoritarian public health official tries to rewrite history.
This week, ABC News’s Jonathan Karl asked Dr. Anthony Fauci, the soon-departing head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, if it was a “mistake” for schools to be shuttered as long as they were during the Covid pandemic. “We should realize, and have realized,” Fauci answered, “that there will be deleterious collateral consequences when you do something like that,” adding that he had “nothing to do” with schools closing.
This is a transparent legacy-saving revisionism.
Fauci now portrays himself as a humble public health official who had merely shared scientific advice and information with decision-makers. This self-serving depiction conveniently ignores his fearmongering, his coaxing and lying to manipulate behavior, and his partisan scheming. Governors regularly leaned on Fauci’s positions as justification for their unconstitutional shutdowns of churches, economic lockdowns, and school closures. And Fauci praised them for it. Then-presidential candidate Joe Biden urged governors to “listen to Dr. Fauci” for their guidelines. Most already had. When Biden won the presidency, Fauci blamed the alleged underperformance of the United States under Donald Trump on the “disparate responses of different states versus the unified approach.”
The unified approach, of course, was the Fauci approach.
If the spiritual leader of the “follow the science” knew, as he now claims, that “draconian” Covid policies would lead to “collateral negative consequences,” why didn’t he mention this fact back then? And why did he portray those who did as politically motivated and anti-science?
“Fauci testifies consequences of reopening too soon could be ‘really serious,’” ABC News reported in May 2020. After being grilled by Sen. Rand Paul on the dearth of science justifying school closings, Fauci responded with an alarmist rant about unexplained inflammations among kids caused by Covid. “Be careful,” Fauci warned, because children were not “completely immune” from “the deleterious effects” of Covid, refuting a claim neither Paul nor any other serious critic had ever leveled.

Fauci Can't Whitewash His Disastrous Legacy
Anthony Fauci is an authoritarian public-health mandarin. He can't be allowed to deflect from his role in our Covid lockdown disaster.
