A man who will go down in infamy

Anthony Fauci, The Man Who Destroyed America’s Trust in Science.

…. Dr. Fauci could’ve been honest with the American people. There was no legitimate reason to lie. And had he been courageous enough to tell the truth, when the next pandemic strikes — and eventually, there WILL be another one — the American people would have all the confidence in the world that their government was giving them 100% accurate information.

But that’s not what he did. 

Fauci played fast and loose with the origins of the COVID virus. He lied about advising political officials to shut down schools, funerals, and public gatherings. He exaggerated the efficacy of facemasks. He broke bread with celebrity journalists while telling everyone else to quarantine. He reveled in his newfound celebrity status — like he was a scantily-clad Instagram model collecting followers.

Now, when the next pandemic hits, a huge percentage of Americans will refuse to be vaccinated. (Even if the scientific data overwhelmingly suggests that it’s our smartest, safest strategy!) It’s entirely possible that tens of millions of Americans will die.

All because Dr. Fauci shattered the public trust.

The Hill published excerpts of the Fauci Diary:

“Big front page article abut [sic] me appeared in the Washington Post. Very flattering. The situation with my national and international fame is explosive and really unimaginable. It is not hyoperbole [sic] to say that today I am the most famous and talked about person in the country and one of the most recognizable peson [sic] in the world,” wrote Fauci.

Bill Gates lost his reputation because of his libido. Dr. Fauci’s Achilles’ heel was his runaway ego.

Forget about a God Complex! Fauci’s ego was so out of control, he was practically accusing God of having a Fauci Complex!

Either way, the die is cast: The two architects of our COVID strategy were both relegated to the scrapheap of public opinion. Neither will rebound.

But then again, maybe that’s a good thing.

Because, during the next pandemic, perhaps the government will lie once more. After all, our government consists of people — replete with egos, frailties, ambitions, and biases — the same as our doctors and scientists. 

And perhaps the God’s honest truth is, they never deserved to be trusted.
