Covid was basically just the flu.
They jacked up the numbers by counting all sorts of other deaths as also being "Covid" even though they had nothing to do with Covid.
It was all a scam.
There are certain moments in Fauci's book that just send chills up the spine, causing an experience of darkness for which no one can prepare you. This inauspicious and cold passage did that for me. Seems like nothing but actually 1) we knew for sure that children are of near-zero risk of medically significant effects of infection, 2) the injectable product did not stop infection, 3) the injectable product did not stop the spread. Even so, you have Fauci celebrating how paid-off and deeply compromised "experts" voted unanimously to push shots on the kids, and for only one reason: it indemnifies the industry against claims of harm. This is really hard to take, from Nov 21, 2021.
Tony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times during today's hearing but during Covid he was the voice that shredded the Bill of Rights.
First Amendment
Churches and synagogues faced capacity limits or outright indoor bans while secular “essential” businesses (liquor stores, big-box retail, casinos in some places) operated with fewer or no comparable limits. Pastors were arrested or charged for holding services (e.g., Rodney Howard-Browne in Tampa; Tony Spell in Louisiana). The Supreme Court intervened multiple times, finding certain New York and California rules discriminatory against religion (Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo, South Bay United Pentecostal Church v. Newsom, Tandon v. Newsom). Gatherings for worship, protests, or social purposes were restricted or banned for extended periods. Dissenting scientific or policy speech (lab-leak theory, natural immunity, vaccine efficacy/safety data, off-the-shelf therapeutics, mask efficacy) faced coordinated pressure on platforms via government communications; this became the core of Missouri v. Biden / Murthy v. Missouri litigation, protesting the largest First Amendment censorship effort in modern U.S. history. Vaccine passports or proof requirements further conditioned access to public life, employment, and venues.
Second Amendment
Some jurisdictions (Los Angeles and Ventura Counties in California, parts of New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Mexico, Washington, New Jersey, Pennsylvania) classified gun and ammunition dealers as non-essential and ordered them closed for days to weeks while other retailers stayed open. This blocked acquisition of firearms/ammunition. The 9th Circuit later held certain California county closures violated the right to keep and bear arms because they wholly prevented acquisition. Background checks and sales still occurred in many places via defiance or exemptions for multi-purpose stores.
Third Amendment
Was there quartering of soldiers in private homes? Yes. House parties were banned. Weddings, funerals, and parties were broken up. Drones flew the skies hunting for too many cars parked out front. Venues were fined for violating capacity limits. Hospitals could not do elective surgery and dentist offices were stopped from doing basic cleaning. The elderly dying alone in hospitals were kept there, not allowed to be home with family. Families prohibited from visiting elderly homes for which they were paid.
Fourth Amendment
Contact-tracing programs, exposure-notification apps, and location/data collection were warrantless surveillance Tracing requiring data on contacts of infected persons and were extracted and uploaded to to bulk metadata programs. Quarantine enforcement and some testing/isolation orders proceeded with limited individualized process. Privacy bills were introduced in Congress but broad mandatory apps were not uniformly imposed.
Fifth Amendment
Stay-at-home orders functioned as extended house arrest for healthy people; “non-essential” businesses were shuttered by executive decree, destroying livelihoods and supply chains without individualized hearings. Vaccine mandates for federal workers, contractors, military, healthcare, and (via OSHA) large private employers conditioned employment on an injection—compelled medical treatment without fully informed consent. Courts struck down the broad OSHA private-employer mandate and some federal ones; military religious-accommodation denials produced extensive litigation and career penalties. Bodily autonomy and the right to refuse treatment were repeatedly invoked.
Sixth and Seventh Amendments
Court closures and delays produced massive backlogs. Speedy-trial rights and civil jury trials were postponed for months to years in many jurisdictions, leaving defendants and litigants in limbo. This was treated as logistical necessity rather than deliberate suspension, but the practical effect was widespread justice delayed. Vaccine injury? Forget it: the courts won’t hear you because shot makers had a liability shield.
Eighth Amendment
In prisons, COVID-positive or exposed inmates were placed in conditions described as windowless, filthy, high-security isolation cells with severe restrictions on movement, showers, and property—conditions previously associated with disciplinary or death-row housing. Courts found some deliberate-indifference failures; broader claims about overcrowding, inadequate medical response, and isolation as de facto punishment were litigated under “cruel and unusual” standards.
Ninth Amendment
Unenumerated rights claims centered on bodily integrity, medical autonomy, freedom of travel and association, parental rights over children’s schooling/masking/vaccination, and the freedom to skateboard, surf, or just take a walk. Lockdowns, school closures (with documented learning loss and mental-health impacts), and pediatric mandates were sweeping peacetime restrictions on ordinary life.
Tenth Amendment
Federal vaccine mandates (OSHA for private employers, contractor rules) usurped traditional state police powers over public health. The Supreme Court invalidated the OSHA rule as exceeding statutory and constitutional authority. Prolonged emergency declarations by governors suspended ordinary legislative processes in multiple states. The overall package—lockdowns of the healthy, discriminatory religious limits, speech suppression, business destruction, and conditional access to work/society via vaccination—were the greatest peacetime civil-liberties intrusion in modern U.S. history, second only to slavery. Courts ultimately reined in some of the most extreme measures, especially on religion and the federal private-employer mandate, but many policies operated for months or years first. Empirical debates continue over necessity versus excess and net harm.
But by all means, Dr. Fauci, invoke YOUR rights.
Today was so incredible, so intense, so satisfying. For six and a half years, we've been gaslit, lied to constantly, led around by the nose by a media-hungry pied piper with deep-state backing, a glib punk playing footsie with media elites with a partisan agenda. They cloaked it all in science. At last, we got some blunt talk today about the worst attacks on civilization we've ever endured from the government and its industrial backers. What a feeling! We not all crazy after all. Maybe now, at last, we can have some honest talk about what this egregious period of history did to the credibility of the expert classes. This hearing today made me angry all over again.
It's wasn't just a bad day for Tony Fauci. It was a bad day for all the craven media mavens who amplified his fakery and puffed up his reputation. It was a bad day for all the academic scientists who stayed quiet for fear of losing grants. It was a terrible day for all the liberal, conservative, and libertarian intellectuals and orgs who stayed completely silent while the people's liberties were shredded. It was a bad day for every careerist who chose to go along – watching millions suffer – rather than take a risk to social position and financial flow by saying what was obvious and true.
I will NEVER forget the pain this man caused… It's about time someone calls him out…
“Here I am sitting in front of you six years later, saying: Who the F*CK do you think you were to do that?
It is a total disgrace what you did to this country."
He misled the public for years about lockdowns, the lab leak, and his ideology. And he got away with all of it, thanks to the protection of his friends in the media.

Anthony Fauci's Private Diary and Emails Show He Knew Lockdowns Failed
https://t.co/jjRZSOgJiF
I don’t think I can handle reading all of the Fauci diaries.
My head might explode in a fit of rage.
Those of us who resisted from the beginning knew he was a weasel. A power-hungry narcissistic weasel with a giant fucking head and a love affair with rolling cameras. It was so obvious. But it’s even worse. So bad.
If anyone ever asks me ever again “why was Covid the hill you were willing to die on” … I’m just gonna say because Fauci is a f@cking liar and I knew it. He shut the entire world down. Ruined lives. For his ego driven little power play. Destroyed kids’ childhoods, adolescence, they couldn’t go to school or play sports or be with friends. They were isolated and alone in their rooms locked in to screen screens screens. They were stunted emotionally and developmentally. And of course educationally. They were depressed and eating disorders skyrocketed and stupid trans skyrocketed and drug use and screen addiction and porn addiction and all of it and now they can’t even go into the world and talk to each other.
Old and sick people died alone. Old people were separated from their family in the last years and months and weeks of their lives. Women gave birth in masks alone. Neighbor turned on neighbor. Families were divided. Still haven’t recovered.
American citizens were censored in a full on assault of our free speech rights, 25+M people were laid off in 2020, people were fired if they didn’t get his shitty vaxx and others were fully 10000000% cancelled for saying WTF this is all so wrong.
And it’s all because of this tiny shitty man’s will to power. All one giant ego boost while the world burned.
To all of Twitter/X who truly believed Fauci, wore t shirts emblazoned with his face, etc:
You're not as smart as you think you are. Not even close. "the science" was a scam. You were fooled.
Now you should be apologizing profusely to everyone you told to mask up years ago
Dr. Fauci’s diary is proof of a man completely drunk on his own celebrity. He was literally gloating that people thought he was "more sexy than Tyra Banks" while MILLIONS of people were dying. And it looks like he knew exactly why they were dying, and it wasn't the wet market. Fauci knew all along that COVID came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, just like we exposed years ago.
When he sits down in front of Congress later this week, I’m not sure the autopen can save him this time. He can’t repeat the old narrative under oath without committing a fresh crime, and I doubt his pride will let him admit he lied. That leaves him with only one way out: pleading the Fifth, which would expose the whole facade.
