Progressives thought they were on the right side of history. When they wake up to the reality that their policies resulted in the sterilization of children, the killing of mentally ill addicts, the decimation of education, and more, they will be horrified.
Dr Fauci and Mr. Science
The Fauci files reveal not just a sociopathic narcissist, but also a pathological schizophrenic.
For years, Fauci was assuring the public of Covid narratives that he either knew were untrue, or knew little about.
He posed as a non-partisan, even as he collaborated with the leftwing cable news grandees and liberal columnists to hound his enemies and magnify his godhead.
From the virus’s origins and effects of the lockdowns, to the efficacy of the mRNA vaccinations to the always changing 0/1/2 masks wearing protocols, Fauci used his massive government agency, and sycophantic media, to promote his always fluid narratives by punishing enemies and rewarding friends—on the basis of their loyalty to Dr. “I represent science”.
He seemed to be obsessed with firing White House Covid advisor Scott Atlas, and demonizing Jay Bhattacharya, Sunetra Gupta and Martin Kulldorff—for the crimes of questioning the Fauci party line.
These critics were not radical “let it rip” herd immunologists as the Fauci camp caricatured them, but circumspect, cost-to-benefit doctors and savvy health policy analysts.
Their views, if embraced, might have avoided a multibillion-dollar global shutdown that wrecked economies—especially derailing the booming 4th quarter 2019 Trump economy—increased the death toll, destroyed millions of livelihoods, harmed perhaps permanently the education of millions U.S. children, and was hardly based on the “science”.
And what exactly were the so-called extremist views of Atlas, Bhattacharya, and others?
Healthy children were not at great risk from Covid—but keeping them isolated drained away key resources from the elderly and sick who certainly were vulnerable.
And the nationwide school closures had profound negative effects on children and teens as did the lockdowns on the general population.
Substance and familial abuse soared, small businesses were ruined, and children’s formative educational years were lost.
24/7 mask wearing was neither practical nor necessary as opposed to their beneficial use by health care workers in close proximities.
The experimental mRNA vaccinations may have initially saved lives, but they were not, as billed by Fauci and the pharmaceutical companies, lasting protection from either infectiousness or being infected.
And certainly the repeated booster regimens for some could pose serious health risks.
Herd immunity was not some crank idea, as the Fauci school libeled these experts, but, along with the initial vaccinations, were time-tested medical realities that would mitigate the toxicity of the pandemic.
We have seen a lot of obscene hoaxes recently that changed national events: the loony Jussie Smollett caper; the phony “Steele dossier”; the “51 intelligence authorities” and the Russian-produced Hunter Biden laptop con; and the media fabricated effigy of Joe Biden as “fit as a fiddle”.
But Fauci’s effort to attribute the virus to a bat or pangolin publicly, while privately accepting from his own consultants that it likely was birthed in the Wuhan lab’s gain of function research—which he had helped to support via Peter Daszak—and the policies that resulted from that initial lie, proved literally for thousands a matter of life and death.
I need Christians to remember that everything Fauci knew, Collins knew. All of the same experts who were telling Fauci that the virus was likely man-made were telling Collins the same thing.
And yet not one Christian journalist or public figure who interviewed Collins during the Covid era offered even the slightest pushback on his obviously questionable claims about the origins of the virus.
It should embarrass Christians how gullible and naïve (at best) our leaders were when it came to this authoritarian government overreach. Rather than question it, they supported it.
Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, the Billy Graham Association at Wheaton, the ERLC, and more—all of them not only unquestioningly accepted Collins’ questionable narrative, they shamed other Christians who wisely questioned it. They even went so far as to tell us we were sinning for questioning it.
Yet to this day, NOT ONE has apologized or repented for this behavior. Not one has admitted they made a mistake and would do something different in the future. They have removed the articles they wrote at this time. They have ignored questions about these interviews and they have shaken pharisaical fingers at those asking for accountability.
They tell us we must simply move on from the Covid era and continue to respect their leadership despite their abuse of authority.
We are told that it is unloving to continue to mention how they discredited themselves and abused their authority or to expect them to ever address it.
Well, I’m sorry, but that’s not biblical justice. Brothers do need to forgive brothers, but when leaders abuse their positions of leadership in the church, they need to repent and acknowledge what they did. Because it hurt people in real and substantial ways.
The belligerent insistence that we sweep this past under the rug without ever having any real reckoning is arrogance and stiff neckness, pure and simple.
Defund the police.
Say yes to open borders.
No human is illegal.
People should not own guns.
There is a genocide against transwomen of color.
Women can have penises.
Do not procreate to protect Mother Earth.
Islam is peaceful.
Indigenous Knowledge > "white" science
Black Lives Matter
COVID does not spread at BLM rallies.
There is no objective truth. All is relative.
Zionism is Nazism.
Free Free Palestine.
Israel is a Nazi state.
Each of the latter positions and countless others (fully decoupled from reality) are espoused by one side of the political aisle.
Think carefully about whom to vote for.
