One thing about our Dr. Anthony Fauci is that he’s got something for everyone: If you don’t like his positions, just wait.
He’ll change them.
In fact, the 54-year bureaucrat — who once admitted he was steadily moving the goalposts on the American people — has again now punted a couple of his old positions.
First, while speaking “to MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin, who was filling in for Rachel Maddow on Wednesday night, Fauci suggested that some of the children currently being treated at medical facilities were hospitalized with COVID as opposed to ‘because of COVID,’” reported Newsweek Friday.
“He added that some children who are currently listed as being in hospital with COVID may actually be receiving treatment for ‘a broken leg or appendicitis,’ rather than for a severe reactions to the virus,’” the site continued.
Of course, this doesn’t, and never did, apply just to children. In fact, “Throughout the pandemic, some Americans have argued that public health officials had inflated the grim COVID-19 toll by including people who’d been hospitalized or died for other reasons but also happened to be infected with the virus at the time,” the Conservative Institute reminds us while reporting on Fauci’s different tune.
And among those relating this reality has been The New American, which thus contended already in early 2020 and beyond. Below is the video of Fauci’s comments on MSNBC.
Interestingly, this “exact point, and the ‘with COVID -vs- from COVID’ argument within the false narrative, is what justified Big Tech to ban COVID critics from their speech platforms,” the Conservative Treehouse pointed out last Thursday.
Will Fauci now be censored?
(That’s a rhetorical question.)
Fauci’s second recent flip-flop occurred last week in an interview with CNN’s Jim Acosta. As Rebel News reports:
Fauci, who spent almost two years urging for lockdowns and strong restrictions of social life, [now] says he supports the Centers for Disease Control’s updated guidance for COVID-19 positive individuals to only isolate for five days, down from 10 days.
Fauci explained that a “decision” was made so more people could return to normal life quickly.
“The purpose of it was that given the wave — the extraordinary unprecedented wave of infections that we are experiencing right now and will certainly experience more of in the next few weeks — that there is the danger that there will be so many people who are being isolated who are asymptomatic for the full ten days, that you could have a major negative impact on our ability to keep society running,” said Fauci, the Hill reported.
Again, though, The New American warned of lockdowns’ devastating impact and cure-worse-than-disease nature in early 2020 — and beyond.
A video of the bureaucrat’s comments, embedded under brief commentary by Inside the Numbers host Rich Baris, is below.
Many find this change in tune just too convenient (especially since it may be the first time Fauci has flip-flopped from falsehood to truth and not just the reverse or from falsehood to falsehood). As commentator Monica Showalter writes:
The old lizard sure knows how to change his stripes. And maybe that’s in the nature of the beast: Fauci, remember, hasn’t practiced medicine in years. He’s been a public health bureaucrat for around five decades. He’s one of the oldest employees in government, and definitely its highest paid one. He’s a man of politics, not medical knowledge. If he were still the latter as he once was, he’d be touting the virtues of hydroxychloroquine and perhaps other proven therapeutics such as ivermectin against coronaviruses, which is what he’s done in papers in years past. What’s more, he’d drop his absurd claims about mandatory vaccines and start admitting that there’s a such thing as natural immunity and, for that matter, vaccine injuries. He might even speak out about our unguarded border and the thousands of COVID-infected illegals who are pouring in, pretty much negating all the safeguards everyone else is forced to observe.
But what we see here is Fauci suddenly saying the right things, a couple, at least, same as real medical experts have been saying.
Might that, too, be a function of politics? Such as midterm elections where Democrats are forecasted to get shellacked? Or the fact that Joe Biden has washed his hands of getting rid of COVID, which is the argument he used to get elected in favor of state solutions. He’s now walked away from the whole bid for permanent and total power over voters [at least for now] and went on some vacation.
…Suddenly, Democrats are interested in pleasing voters, now that they want their votes. And sure enough, Fauci is right behind them, suddenly calling for fewer quarantines and a correct counting of child COVID cases.
I illustrated the Fauci norm of changing positions like clothes in the 2020 essay “The Many Masks of Anthony Fauci.” Another more recent, and quite amusing, example is presented in the Sunday-posted YouTube video below. In a nutshell, Fauci’s message is, translated: When celebrating, you should make sure you’re around only people who’ve had the “vaccines” because the “vaccines” don’t actually work.
As the top commenter under the video quipped, epitomizing the Fauci-enabled COVID irrationality, “The people with 13 boosters will be blamed for endangering those with 14.”
The best boost Americans could get is one of spirits — by removing Fauci from office.
