Betrayed: The Rise And Fall Of Dr. Fauci
[Article is "long" but well laid out.]
[RemnantNewspaper] On Easter Sunday evening, we reached a turning point in the monumental, wholly unprecedented, nation-wrecking fiasco that is Coronagate: President Trump retweeted a post with the hashtag #FireFauci. Both the original tweet and Trump’s telling retweet were prompted by Anthony Fauci’s latest appearance on Fake News CNN. On Easter Sunday, no less, Fauci, who has been undermining Trump since the day this fiasco began, implied in response to loaded questions by the insufferable Jake Tapper that Trump could have saved lives had he announced "social distancing guidelines" that Fauci supposedly recommended to him as early as the third week of February.
Fauci made no such recommendation in February, but was rather saying the exactly opposite that month, as even the left-wing Politico shows in an article entitled Virus 'Experts' Early Statements Belie 'Prescient' Portrayal. Thus, on Easter Sunday Fauci cooperated with Tapper in disseminating a demonstrable lie to the nation.
THE EARLY ADVICE FAUCI IS HIDING
On January 21, Fauci was asked the following question to which he gave the following answer in a video published by Newsmax:
Q. What are you thinking in terms of this virus spreading in the United States?
FAUCI: Well those people are probably at a very low risk.... Well, obviously you need to take it seriously and do the kinds of things that the CDC and the Department of Homeland Security are doing. But this is not a major threat to the people in the United States. And this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.
On February 18, in a video published by USA Today, Fauci said the following:
FAUCI: No, I don’t think people should be frightened. The risk right now, today, currently, is really relatively low for the American public. But... this could evolve [] into a global pandemic....
So right now, don’t worry about it, be more concerned about influenza, which is going into a second peak for the season, than corona virus.... People wearing masks now is just not relevant. You don’t need to be walking around with a mask right now....
The accompanying text of the February piece in Today quotes Fauci as saying that the danger from the Wuhan virus is "just miniscule" whereas: "We have more kids dying of flu this year at this time than in the last decade or more. The threat is (we have) a pretty bad influenza season, particularly dangerous for our children."
On Saturday, February 29, Fauci stated as follows on the Today Show:
No, right now, at this moment, there is no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day-by-day basis. Right now, the risk is still low, but this could change. I’ve said that many times...You gotta watch out, because although the risk is low now—you don’t need to change anything you’re doing—when you start to see community spread, this could change....
So, on February 29, Fauci was still giving assurances on national television that there was no need for Americans to change anything regarding their daily activities. In fact, that was the very day the press reported the first death attributed to purported "community spread" of Wuhan virus in the United States.
On March 9, Fauci told John Roberts of Fox News that "If you are a healthy young person, there is no reason if you want to go on a cruise ship, go on a cruise ship" whereas "if you have…an individual who has an underlying condition, particularly an elderly person who has an underlying condition, I would recommend strongly that they do not go on a cruise ship."
To sum up, it is undeniable that during the months of January and February of 2020, Fauci minimized the threat of the Wuhan virus. There is not even the glimmer of a suggestion that there be a national lockdown of all Americans to "save lives."
