Anthony Fauci: The Last American Hero?
Handed a golden opportunity to speak truth to power, the good doctor remains a team player in an administration bent on disaster.
For those who only read the titles, they talk about the man speaking truth to power and then admit he "lied" about masks (I honestly believe he was telling the truth at that time, but you know how that goes).
Despite his famous halo of truthfulness, Fauci has deliberately misled the public on several occasions during the crisis. At the beginning of the outbreak, he and CDC Director Robert Redfield defied medical common sense and lied about the efficacy of face mask usage. While news programs were showing entire Asian societies safely masked, we were told that face coverings were unnecessary, useless, and possibly dangerous.
Asked in February about what advice he would give to ordinary Americans, Fauci remained in lockstep with the White House. “So the question is, should we do anything different from what we’re already doing? No. Should we all be wearing a mask? Absolutely not.”
Six weeks later he explained that this was a necessary ploy to stop panic-buying and conserve existing supplies for hospitals. But it sowed epic confusion, which still festers, about the utility of masks and ratified the perception that the public had been deceived.
In any case, Fauci has already exposed himself as a liar.
The White House basically threw away all the strategic planning and tactical guidelines for dealing with an outbreak that Fauci and hundreds of others had laboriously developed over the previous 20 years.
That sentence is written very poorly and may be a Freudian slip?
