Now they tell us! The New York Post ran a story yesterday headlined, “
COVID ‘6-feet’ social distancing ‘sort of just appeared,’ likely lacked scientific basis, Fauci admits.”
On Monday and Tuesday, Fauci, a very-well-preserved 83, testified for two full days before closed Coronavirus Committee meetings. Details are oozing out, similar to how Fauci oozed out of government right when things were heating up. I’m sorry to report that the former bureaucrat may be experiencing dementia, since the former NIAID head often — more than 100 times — “could not recall” important details about his words and actions during the most important and recent period of his life.
Maybe he needs vitamins or something.
Between Fauci’s not-remembering and his default instinct of shirking responsibility, very little progress was made over the two sessions. The good doctor continued insisting that he
never closed a single school or business and only made itsy-bitsy suggestions — suggestions which people were free to take or leave, at their option. Nobody was forcing them.
Fauci
can’t remember why all the schools did every single thing he “recommended.” Who knows.
On other topics, Fauci obstinately refused to admit he was wrong. Fauci simply doesn’t believe any students experienced learning loss from school lockdowns. Or at least it’s debatable. “It’s open for discussion,” he reportedly allowed, after the point was pressed. He also generously allowed there was
room for debate about where covid came from, but suggested it was one of those mysteries that would probably remain unsolved forever. If he can help it.
Fauci struggled to defend some of his recommendations. When pushed, Fauci apparently admitted that the six-foot social distancing rule was completely made up; in other words, “likely not based on scientific data.”
Likely not.
Please never ever forget how, when you questioned the six-foot-rule, they screamed at you to
follow the science! and mocked you as a
science denier. Remember when Fauci, in his scratchy Brooklyn accent, bragged “I
am the science?” He was right. That’s all there was to most of it. Just a human cockroach in a lab coat.
More interesting was Stat News’ story about Fauci’s testimony headlined “
After grilling Fauci on Covid origins, House Republicans want to consider new rules for foreign research.”
Now we’re getting somewhere.
Not one to mince words, Representative Greene (R-Ga) said that, after his performance at the hearings, Fauci should go straight to jail:
CLIP: “I think I can speak for many Americans when I say absolutely, he belongs in jail for that" (2:01).
I often agree with Marjorie, and it’s no different this time. Fauci might have forgotten, but
we haven’t.
Human insect doesn't testify (much) before Congress; Republican debate notes; NYT Covidians scrape the cesspool; FDA approves Fla drug plan; Hunter crashes contempt hearing; free speech news; more.
