A true man of science would never have to plead the 5th because he would be protected from the epistemological certitude that he applied the scientific method to the best of his abilities. Fauci is a grotesque narcissist.
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.
If you have a son or daughter who's starting to think that socialism is the answer to our problems, I want you to try something and report back:
Next time you talk, don't argue. Sit down, ask these questions, and just listen:
- When you say "socialism," do you mean that you want the government to pay for a bigger safety net like in Denmark, or that the government owns the means of production? Because those are two very different countries.
- You say the system is rigged. Who rigged it? And who should be handed the power to un-rig it?
- Who sets the price of bread? If not a single person or corporation, what causes that price to remain steady or go up?
- Can you name a country where the state took ownership of the means of production and the poor got richer?
- When borders open or the walls fall down, anywhere in the world, which direction do people run? Towards the free market system or the socialist system? And before the boundaries fell, which way were the guns pointed?
- Would you rather be poor today, or rich in 1900? By the way, only one of those has antibiotics.
- If you and I make a voluntary trade, and we both walk away happy, who got hurt?
- Someone has to decide what your work is worth. Would you rather it be you and the person paying you, or a bureaucrat with an army who has never met either of you?
Try having this conversation with your kids this week. Don't argue. Only listen. And if you want, call into my radio show and tell me how it went.
@senatorduff Nothing like watching Duff suddenly discover the virtue of affordable beef—right after years of blaming ranchers, fossil fuels, and the ‘right’ for wildfires and climate change. Livestock emissions are routinely cited as roughly matching the entire global transportation
HOLY CRAP
The illegal alien who Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal and other Democrat officials rallied to support after he was detained by ICE…
IS REGISTERED TO VOTE IN CT despite not being a citizen!
Sead Cecunjanin registered to vote in 2018 after obtaining a driver’s license by falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen.
His voter card was obtained through a FOIA request by the West Hartford Republican Town Committee
But Democrats say this never happens?!
That’s just not true.
No person would be turned away from voting.
Any person without documentation would be able to sign an attestation.
The SAVE America Act does NOT require proof of citizenship for those already registered to vote.
Why don’t you suggest an amendment which would allow remote Alaskan voters to attach a copy of their proof of citizenship + photo ID to an absentee ballot?
It’s completely disingenuous to say you don’t have the time to implement the SAVE America Act
when you could have passed it last year.
It’s equally as bad to say that you support photo ID & proof of citizenship when you won’t even offer suggestions for how to earn your support on this legislation.
Looks like I’ll have to travel to Alaska to ask the voters themselves.
3 of these ILLEGALS were protected in CT bc @CTDems SANCTUARY POLICIES were child sex traffickers. Isn’t that nice? — Every politician protecting criminals over citizens is betraying their oath of office. Enough. We aren’t a dumping ground for the 3rd world’s problems. Your family, our home deserves better!
A woman named Lyla in New Philadelphia, OH, asked me why socialism is gradually becoming more popular in our country. It’s a great question, and here’s what I told her.
"60 Minutes" is the most prestigious TV news program in America. But a new review of the last 20 years of its reporting reveals serious inaccuracies and partisan bias on immigration, transgenderism, climate change, Covid, Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, and more.
