"That Was A Lie": Tucker Carlson Levels Fauci After FOIA Emails Connect The Dots

——-

Fox News' Tucker Carlson ripped "the utter fraudulence of Tony Fauci" Wednesday night, after BuzzFeed and the Washington Post obtained thousands of pages of emails through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, revealing that the nation's top virologist was telling the public one thing, while furiously working on damage control and narrative-shaping as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded.




According to Carlson, Americans assumed "that the man in charge of protecting the US from COVID must be rational and impressive," adding "We also assumed he must be honest. But we were wrong.

Fauci couldn't turn down working for Trump, yet had to prove his worthiness to the Left by distancing himself from Trump, at the same time. The end result was nothing short of malpractice.

While Trump, by his own admission, was lying to the American people about the virus.

I see nothing in the OP about Fauci being under oath and lying. If lying to the public is perjury in your view, your cult leader committed 30k+ acts of it.

How did you miss this? Read slow.


Attached to that email was a document titled "Baric, Shi et al - Nature medicine - SARS Gain of function.pdf" referring to Dr. Ralph Baric, a US-based virologist who collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology under Dr. Shi Zhengly ("Bat lady") known for manipulating bat coronaviruses to better-infect humans.

Tucker then shows a clip of Fauci denying that Baric had conducted gain-of-function research, under oath.

Fauci lied about masks and the provenance of SARS COV2, and he did it out of partisanship, because he didn't want to be perceived as aligning with Trump. Fauci put his coveted position over serving the public.
Look, deflect all you want, but Trump's no longer in office, and Fauci needs to be let go.
He's too partisan, too compromised and too mired in controversy.

This looks a lot like perjury...

Consider this exchange, which began the evening of January 31, 2020. It was a Friday, just before midnight.

The first email came from an immunologist called Kristian Andersen, who works at the Scripps Research Institute in California. Andersen warned Fauci that COVID appeared to have been manipulated in a laboratory.

"The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome (less than point one percent), so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially) look engineered."

The next day, on February 1, Tony Fauci wrote back, "Thanks, Kristian. Talk soon on the call."

Fauci then sent an urgent email to his top deputy, Hugh Auchincloss. The subject of his email, in all-caps, was "IMPORTANT."

And then...
Attached to the email was a document entitled, "Baric, Shi, et al -- Nature Medicine -- SARS Gain of Function.pdf."

The "Baric" in that attachment refers to Ralph Baric, a virologist based in the United States who collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Baric worked with a woman called Dr. Shi Zhengli -- known as the "Bat Lady," because she manipulates coronaviruses that infect bats.

Keep in mind that during questioning from Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, Tony Fauci denied that this same Ralph Baric had conducted gain-of-function research. Again, this is the Ralph Baric in Fauci’s attachment entitled, "Baric, Shi et al - SARS Gain of Function." Yet, under oath, Fauci denied it:

DR FAUCI: Dr. Baric does not do gain function research. And if it is, it's according to the guidelines and it is being conducted in North Carolina…And if you look at the grant and you look at the progress reports, it is not gain function despite the fact that people tweet that.


Oh, it wasn’t just on Twitter. It was in Fauci’s own emails.

Uh, no.

"Kristian Andersen, the Scripps Research Institute researcher who sent the email, has since said on Twitter that the correspondence is a “clear example of the scientific process” and maintained that his research regarding the issue debunked the lab-leak theory.


“As I have said many times, we seriously considered a lab leak a possibility. However, significant new data, extensive analyses and many discussions led to the conclusions in our paper,” he said on Twitter."

Scientists led with politics, not science. Our politics and (your) rhetoric is so utterly toxic, that experts backed off of their findings, because of concern, fear and perhaps even antipathy towards Trump, and as a result, we we shielded from the truth and evidence that could have steered our response in a direction that could have saved people.
Your party constantly beats the "If it saves just one life" drum, and yet, you forgive this malfeasance as if it did not matter.
It matters, and we need to get to the bottom of it.

If I may; it was Trump who distanced himself from Fauci because he didn't like being challenged with reality and the truth-which he is clearly allergic to. And then he appoints Atlas, a radiologist, with no experience whatsoever in virology or epidemiology, but who was happy to kiss Trump's obese arse. Sheer genius on Trump's part, wouldn't you agree?

Atlas was right all along.
Fauci was compromised. Deeply, deeply compromised. He should have stepped down the moment he realized he was censoring himself and acting based on motivations not based on the science.
Fauci had and still has, a duty of care, and he has been compromised from the start.
And we suffered as a result.

What was Atlas right about-and how, exactly, was the world's leading expert in virology "compromised"? Because he wouldn't lie to Americans for Trump? I call that integrity-a concept entirely foreign to Trump.

"Atlas, who is not an infectious disease expert and whose brief stint was marred by blunders and controversy, was tapped by the Trump administration to serve as special adviser to the president in August. Since then, "the MRI guy" has repeatedly been at odds with the nation's leading health officials regarding his views on how to combat the spread of the virus, including members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force.

President Trump was attracted to Atlas' views, which put the economy first, but public health experts were appalled by his lack of scientific rigor.

Among the theories that most worried experts is Atlas' belief that allowing the coronavirus to spread would eventually result in "herd immunity," describing it as a "basic principle" of biology and immunology."

Atlas, who was a radiologist by training, pushed fringe theories about the coronavirus, including the idea that large numbers of people should get infected in order to reach so-called "herd immunity."

Fighting a virus is too important to be left to political hacks and amateurs.
