Also Fauci in early March 2020 mocking the idea of people changing their travel plans as an overreaction.
Also Fauci shooting-down lab-origin theories in public, while his private emails – still heavily redacted! – imply contemporaneous discussion of such an origin as a serious possibility.
Also Fauci misestimating a vaccine as at least a year and half away.
Also Fauci helping to fluff Trump's lowball estimates of the pandemic ending by summer 2020 with "more like the 60k" dead. (Only off by 12x, and still growing!)
Also Fauci overclaiming the rushed EUA 3wk/4wk mRNA vax dose spacings as 'optimal' & important not-to-delay... when precedent from other vaccines was that 8wks or longer is better for stronger & more durable immunity. (Data from other countries with wiser spacing has now confirmed, as true experts would have expected, that longer spacing is better. So the insistence of Fauci/CDC on rushed 2nd doses now leaving vaccinated Americans with more, and more severe, breakthrough infections.)
Whatever you think of Fauci, he's amazingly well connected in elite circles. To the point he has people making fawning movies about his life and career.
Indeed, Fauci has the magic touch of the 'cooler', the person in a con who keeps the mark from getting angry.
Everything Fauci's said, at every phase of this pandemic, has been optimized not to save lives or be truthful, but to excuse whatever actions, or inactions, the federal government has taken as "the best possible at the time". The doctor schtick, plus the gravelly NYC accent, is a powerful combo. There's a reason he's the highest-paid employee in the whole federal government!
I'm dreading the one about professor fergusson "professor lockdown" in the UK... him getting caught having a fling during the first UK lockdown breaking the new laws probably will help us not have to suffer through that BBC special...
