We knew that people like Anthony Fauci and his fellow bureaucrats who were setting US health policies lied about COVID in 2020. But now they admit it.
Remember Deborah Birx? She was the weird scientist and White House spokesperson on COVID at the height of the pandemic. She was second only to Dr. Anthony Fauci in terms of explaining the pandemic to the public and setting public health policy. The policy was basically to shut down the world’s largest economy to stop the spread.
She said that the virus most likely jumped from animals to humans, which basically adopted the Chinese “wet market” theory on the source of the virus. She made a series of statements at the time that can be summarized as follows:
1. Everyone needs to maintain a social distance of six feet.
2. Everyone needs to wear masks indoors and out. The same rules that applied to those over sixty years old with comorbidities such as asthma, obesity, or diabetes should be applied to healthy young adults and children.
3. She was the author of the “15 Days to stop the spread” campaign which actually lasted for over 2 years and did not stop the spread at all.
Now she has a new book out and it turns out everything she said was a lie and she knew it was a lie at the time. It’s not just a question of making a few medical mistakes. We can make allowance for that with a new virus in the midst of a pandemic. What she did was lie. She now admits that
1. the virus was bioengineered in a laboratory
2. the pandemic would last indefinitely and that nothing would be resolved in 15 days
3. masks are not effective and being outside without a mask was actually one of the healthiest things you could be doing.
4. there’s no scientific evidence for 6-feet social distancing being able to reduce the spread.
Much of this information was known at the time but it was censored and suppressed by Facebook and Twitter and by the mainstream media. She and Fauci and others lied because there was no other way to get Americans to go along with their radical lockdown plans.
The American people trusted them because there were “experts.” Not anymore. Birx and her ilk have forever damaged Americans’ trust in public health officials and rightly so. In the next pandemic, people will use common sense and rely on local physicians for therapeutic approaches. No one will ever trust the lying Federal bureaucrats again.
I wonder why Dr. Fauci and all other lying Federal bureaucrats have to take responsibility for their fatal wrong doing and why nobody is actually not going after them.
