Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy, and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has been a constant fixture in the media since the outbreak of COVID-19 in late 2019.
Despite the relaxation of mandates and the falling virus death rates in the United States, Fauci continues to generate media attention.
He loves the media, and they love his “doom and gloom” message. In recent weeks, Fauci has been advocating for all Americans to vaccinate, including young people, and warning about the dangers of new variants.
This week, he appeared on a video for President Joe Biden. He called the “Delta variant” even more dangerous than the original virus. Fauci claimed it was “more transmissible” and a “variant of concern” especially to young people. The message was to get vaccinated “before it’s too late.”
This dire warning is in direct contrast to the evidence released in the United Kingdom. Their latest government report shows the fatality rate for the “Delta variant” to be 0.1%, lower than the “Alpha,” “Beta” and “Eta” variants. Why would Dr. Fauci misrepresent the threat of this new variant? Possibly to continue the COVID-19 public hysteria and his role as the media darling.
Fauci has served in his position since 1984, decades too long. There are good reasons to limit how long politicians and leaders of government bureaucracies should remain in office. It is an effective protection against corruption. After 37 years, Fauci has accumulated vast power and has become the highest paid person in the federal government, making $434,312 annually, an outrageous amount considering his pathetic COVID-19 track record.
While the media, President Biden and congressional Democrats have anointed him as the nation’s premier virus expert, in reality, Fauci has been a total failure. Throughout the pandemic, his recommendations have changed on vital issues such as masks and social distancing.
Not surprisingly, Fauci is losing credibility with the American people. A new Fox News poll indicates that 60% of Americans believe that COVID-19 emanated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese bio-laboratory. This is almost double the number of people, 31%, “{who believe the virus started naturally in a Wuhan wet market. Thus, a strong majority of Americans reject the claims of Dr. Fauci, who continually downplayed the laboratory leak theory and insisted it was much more likely the virus started naturally.
Even bigger problems for Dr. Fauci involve accusations that he lied to the public. In a new book, Nightmare Scenario: Inside the Trump Administration’s Response to the Pandemic That Changed History, written by Washington Post reporters Yasmeen Abutaleb and Damian Paletta, it is revealed that in April 2020 Fauci “reluctantly agreed” to terminate a $370,000 National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to a non-profit group that worked closely with the Wuhan bio-lab. Fauci initially challenged the termination until he discovered that President Donald Trump supported the cancellation.
Several months later, in testimony to Congress, Fauci claimed that he had no idea why the grant was revoked. This discrepancy infuriated U.S. Representative Buddy Carter (R-GA), who blasted Fauci for being “so obsessed with maintaining his own relevance and downplaying President Trump’s role in combating this crisis that he’s once again been caught lying.” Carter believes it is “time for Dr. Fauci to go.” Of course, he is right, Fauci should have been removed from his position long ago.
U.S. Representative Markwayne Mullen (R-OK) also lamented Fauci’s obvious deception. He called the discrepancies “very concerning” and said an investigation should be launched to discover “how the pandemic happened and what Dr. Fauci knew and when he knew it.”
Due to Fauci’s discrepancies and controversies about the origins of the virus, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) has called for “a full investigation by Congress.” Over 200 U.S House Republicans have joined Scalise in demanding that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) investigate the origins of the virus and the role of the Chinese Communist Party is hiding the truth from the world.
For months, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has debated Dr. Fauci on everything from mask mandates to herd immunity to the U.S. funding of “gain of function” research, which involves modifying viruses to make them even more transmissible to humans. In a 2012 paper, Fauci argued that the “benefits” of “gain of function” research would “outweigh the risk” of a potential lab leak. Sadly, seven years later, after the United States, under the direction of Dr. Fauci, directed a NIH grant be awarded to EcoHealth Alliance, which funded this type of research at the Wuhan lab, COVID-19 was unleashed on the world.
Contradicting Fauci’s claims, evidence is growing that the virus started in that Wuhan lab. In a recent Wall Street Journal investigation their reporters disclosed that U.S. intelligence services have information that numerous workers in the Wuhan lab required hospitalization in late 2019 after experiencing symptoms matching COVID-19.
When the treasure trove of Dr. Fauci’s emails were released in early June by Buzzfeed News, Paul indicated his support for the firing of the NIAID Director. He tweeted, “Can’t wait to see the media try to spin the Fauci FOIA emails.” The emails showed Fauci receiving praise for backing the theory that the virus was contracted naturally in the Wuhan wet market.
The emails also showed Fauci downplaying the effectiveness of masks. In February of 2020, Fauci wrote, “Masks are really for infected people to prevent them from spreading infection to people who are not infected rather than protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection…typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material.” Fauci famously changed his position later in 2020 and became one of the world’s foremost advocates of masks.
Today, Dr. Fauci is desperately trying to maintain his credibility, but the truth is catching up to him. He is not a national treasure, instead, he is a fraud, who is trying to cover-up one of the biggest scandals in American history.

Dr. FRAUDI and the Great ScamDemic of 2020!!! Let’s sensationalize and put the Fear of God into people through the Media and then tell them that it is safer to vote through mail in ballots so that we can get Bad Orangeman out of office and the Sheep fall for it Hook, Line and Sinker!! This has all been a sick joke over a flu bug!!
IMO TIll he’s publicly STRIPPED OF HIS TITLE and pay (and has all his assets seized), he’s not a fallen idol.
dr. Anthony FRUCI aka DWARF is Nothing more than a FRAUD , CON ARTIST , BIGOT and a Common Thug. He knew All the Time this was going happen during POTUS Donald J. Trump (Not Conceded) Watch. Pretending President Beijing Joe O’biden and Carmela (Knee Pads )Harris STOLE the 2020 Election from President Trump. The (DWARF) Anthony Fauci , Beijing Joe O’biden , Carmela (Knee Pads) Harris , Nancy (Pollack) Pelosi and Charles (ups chuck) Schumer ALL need to Spent along Time in a Federal Prison. That least 365 Years without any Possibility of Parole.
Dr . Fauci could be a clone of Howdy Doody, all he needs is the freckles ! He already has the wooden head.
Fauci is a typical communist-democrat, he lies, he cheats, and he steals.
TO me, it would be news, if a corruptocrat, DIDN’T lie, cheat and steal.
And now they have proved the Chinese were trying to make a vaccine before it became a pandemic, unfortunately, one more scientist is now reported dead. The lab is run by the Chinese government, aka the Chinese military. Many times, Chinese have been caught bringing in vials of Eboli, SARS, and other infectious diseases. How many did we miss catching them bringing them in? How did we end up with a case of bubonic plague in Colorado? No doubt in my mind that the Chinese are developing biological weapons. Also of interest, on how the vaccine causes inflammation of the heart in teenagers. This is our future warfighters. It’s just mindboggling that not only did Fauci endorse and help pay for the biological weapon, but people in charge of the military are pushing CRT, so that whoever manages to make the medical requirements for enlistment, but teaching them to ignore orders unless it is from their Supreme Commander.
Imo, if the world doesn’t STRIKE AT china for all of this, we deserve what comes next.
Fauci – one giant **** that helped to rrrrrip this nation apart. Not enough rope in this world (after a trial by jury, of course).
Fraud, communist, ‘tard.
And sadly, Trump let him and Billy Boy in the White House. What a disgrace!
i still wish to know, WHO THE HELL ‘advized’ trump, to TRUST fauci?
I stopped believing Fauci more than a year ago. That’s the same time I stopped wearing a mask outside.
Dr. Fauci is the extreem example of “Murder for Hire”. His imployer is the Gates foundation, WHO, CDC and NWO; all curtisy of the American taxpayer!
Fraudci has so much in common with Sleep Creepy Joe. They don’t care at all about the people, they just want power and money. Go Figure.
Way back when I was a revolutionary age and mindset the left wasn’t all that fond of people involved in “germ warfare”. That included development and use thereof.
Back then biological weapons were thought to be dangerous and anti-NATURE….the territory of warmongers and the nabobs who profit from them.
Is this person revered because he is gay? It isn’t because he is whitish or that he is right less often as a broken clock.
With this country over 12 trillion dollars in the red, we can’t cut this bio weapon funding to a country that is not our friend in the least. Am I the only one who thinks this?
