3 Big Covid Whoppers Fauci Confessed To Congress

3 Big Covid Whoppers Fauci Confessed To United States Congress


Fauci confirmed many of the worst fears of those in the medical community who spoke out during his reign of terror.


If Dr. Anthony Fauci thought retiring from his nearly-half-a-million dollar government position would end questions about his disastrous policymaking, he was sorely mistaken. This week, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases faced tough questions from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, and his answers confirmed many of the worst fears of those in the medical community who spoke out during his reign of terror.


Although his 14-hour testimony was behind closed doors, the subcommittee provided an overview of the most salient points that were covered and promised to make a full transcript available soon. Here are the three most notable takeaways and how they can be addressed moving forward.


1. They Were Not Following ‘The Science’

First, Fauci admitted that Covid-19 policies were not grounded in science, confessing that the six feet of social distancing, “sort of just appeared.” Anyone who was ordered to stand an arbitrary distance apart on a jet bridge only to be packed into a plane face to jowl had reached this commonsense conclusion long ago. But it was a stunning reversal for the man who had become so closely associated with pandemic-era policies that we were assured were “following the science.” It was also reminiscent of Fauci’s last spring’s walk back on the efficacy of masks, years after denouncing those who opted not to wear masks of, “actually propagate the further spread of infection.”


Fauci also ignored data about the role re-purposed generic drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine could play treating Covid, while pushing expensive new treatments like Remdesivir, which the World Health Organization just concluded did little to help people hospitalized with Covid and could even do harm. Ditto the role of natural immunity or herd immunity. It was always the Fauci way or the highway, and that meant vaccines.


2. Vaccine Mandates Backfired

That brings us to point two. During his congressional testimony, Fauci finally conceded that Covid vaccine mandates could make people more broadly vaccine-hesitant. Using the levers of government to force citizens to take an untested vaccine rushed to market under the banner of “warp speed” was never a wise idea. Accusing dissenters of “spreading misinformation” and subjecting them to loss of livelihood and mass ridicule compounded the error.


Fauci was right about one thing: the obsession with Covid vaccines undermined trust in public health authorities, which is crucial to any functioning society.


3. Denying Obvious Learning Loss in Children

Lastly, Fauci still refuses to accept accountability for his mistakes. He said he’s still “not convinced” lockdowns hurt kids, despite children suffering an “unprecedented drop in performance” in math and reading scores. According to the federal government, reading test scores among nine-year-olds fell to their lowest point in 30 years, while math scores fell for the first time ever. No one expects perfection from their leaders, but the stubborn refusal to look in the mirror and take responsibility is more than just arrogant — it’s harmful for the ability to fix the problem.


Moreover, reports from the subcommittee did not mention Fauci saying anything about Covid vaccine injuries, or the fact that the government’s compensation program has been a debacle.


At the end of his 40-year reign atop the bio-medical industrial complex, health care spending in the United States is far higher than other high-income countries, yet our health status as a nation is one of the worst among advanced health economies. Our life expectancy has plummeted to 76.4 years, a two-decade low. We have the highest death rates for avoidable or treatable conditions. Since 2021, excess mortality amongst U.S. citizens, especially amongst the youngest and healthiest sectors, suddenly rose to unprecedented levels not seen outside of wartime. Nowhere do we see evidence of our public health agencies investigating which of the ill-conceived Covid policies is driving this catastrophe.


Even without the pandemic, it’s clear that a change is needed. If there is a silver lining, Covid thrust many intrusive and illogical policies to the forefront. Almost everyone remembers sitting in their homes watching faceless government officials – many who had never been elected or appeared on a ballot – issue sweeping mandates with the full force of government.


Doctors who dared dissent faced numerous threatening and delicensing actions by medical boards who exercised their autonomy and freedom in treatment decisions. Our so-called “sin” was spreading “misinformation” that is now looking better by the day.


These actions have left physicians adhering to dictated treatment protocols out of fear rather than using time-honored, individualized approaches that would produce the best outcome for their patients.


Congress deserves credit for holding Dr. Fauci to account. Hopefully, this is the first in a series of hearings. He was right: public health should be guided by science, and not the interests of the pharmaceutical industry. With time, we are learning that he was the one most guilty of adhering to the latter while ignoring the former, and this cannot happen again without more severe consequences.

 福奇向美国国会承认了 3 大新冠弥天大谎


 福奇证实了医学界人士在他的恐怖统治期间发表的许多最严重的担忧。


 如果安东尼·福奇博士认为从身价近 50 万美元的政府职位上退休就能消除人们对他灾难性决策的质疑,那么他就大错特错了。 本周,这位国家过敏和传染病研究所前所长面临众议院冠状病毒大流行特别小组委员会的严厉提问,他的回答证实了医学界人士在他执政期间所表达的许多最严重的担忧。 恐怖。


 尽管他的 14 小时证词是闭门进行的,但小组委员会概述了所涵盖的最突出的要点,并承诺很快提供完整的笔录。 以下是三个最值得注意的要点以及如何解决这些问题。


 1.他们没有遵循“科学”

 首先,福奇承认 Covid-19 政策没有科学依据,并承认六英尺的社交距离“有点刚刚出现”。 任何一个被命令在登机桥上保持任意距离,结果却面对面挤进飞机的人,早就得出了这个常识性的结论。 但这对于这个与大流行时代的政策密切相关的人来说是一个惊人的逆转,以至于我们确信他“遵循科学”。 这也让人想起去年春天,福奇在谴责那些选择不戴口罩的人“实际上会进一步传播感染”之后,对口罩的功效进行了反驳。


 福奇还忽视了有关伊维菌素和羟氯喹等重新利用的仿制药在治疗新冠病毒方面的作用的数据,同时推广瑞德西韦等昂贵的新疗法,世界卫生组织刚刚得出结论,瑞德西韦对住院的新冠病毒患者几乎没有帮助,甚至可能造成伤害。 自然免疫或群体免疫的作用也是如此。 这始终是福奇方式或高速公路,这意味着疫苗。


 2. 疫苗授权适得其反

 这就引出了第二点。 在国会作证时,福奇最终承认,新冠疫苗强制执行可能会让人们对疫苗更广泛地犹豫不决。 利用政府的杠杆迫使公民服用打着“超速”旗号匆忙上市的未经测试的疫苗从来都不是一个明智的主意。 指责持不同政见者“散布错误信息”并使他们失去生计并遭受大规模嘲笑,从而加剧了错误。


 福奇在一件事上是对的:对新冠疫苗的痴迷破坏了对公共卫生当局的信任,而这对任何正常运转的社会都至关重要。


 3. 否认儿童明显的学习损失

 最后,福奇仍然拒绝为自己的错误承担责任。 他表示,他仍然“不相信”封锁会伤害孩子们,尽管孩子们的数学和阅读成绩“出现了前所未有的下降”。 根据联邦政府的数据,9 岁儿童的阅读考试成绩跌至 30 年来的最低点,而数学成绩则首次下降。 没有人期望他们的领导者是完美的,但顽固地拒绝照镜子并承担责任不仅仅是傲慢——这对解决问题的能力是有害的。


 此外,小组委员会的报告没有提到福奇对新冠疫苗造成的伤害发表任何言论,也没有提到政府的赔偿计划已经失败的事实。


 在他40年的生物医药产业综合体统治结束时,美国的医疗保健支出远远高于其他高收入国家,但我们作为一个国家的健康状况却是发达卫生经济体中最差的国家之一 。 我们的预期寿命已骤降至 76.4 岁,为二十年来的最低水平。 对于可避免或可治疗的疾病,我们的死亡率最高。 自 2021 年以来,美国公民的超额死亡率,特别是最年轻和最健康的人群,突然上升到战时以外从未见过的前所未有的水平。 我们没有看到任何证据表明我们的公共卫生机构正在调查哪些考虑不周的新冠政策正在导致这场灾难。


 即使没有大流行,很明显也需要做出改变。 如果说还有一线希望的话,那么新冠疫情将许多侵入性且不合逻辑的政策推到了前台。 几乎每个人都记得坐在家里看着不露面的政府官员——其中许多人从未当选或出现在选票上——以政府的全部力量发布全面的命令。

敢于提出异议的医生面临着医疗委员会的无数威胁和取消许可的行动,这些委员会在治疗决策中行使了自主权和自由权。 我们所谓的“罪孽”是传播“错误信息”,而现在这种信息看起来一天比一天好。

 这些行为使医生出于恐惧而遵守规定的治疗方案,而不是使用历史悠久的个性化方法来为患者带来最佳结果。

 国会对福奇博士的问责值得赞扬。 希望这是一系列听证会中的第一次。 他是对的:公共卫生应该以科学为指导,而不是制药业的利益。 随着时间的推移,我们了解到,他是最有罪的人,他坚持后者而忽视前者,而且这种情况不会再次发生,除非造成更严重的后果。
