#FauciEmails Reveal A Career Bureaucrat Who Followed Political, Not Medical, Science

This has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week for the propagandists in the leftstream activist media and the truth-deniers in Big Tech.  First, we learn that, yes, the coronavirus did likely emerge, bio-engineered, from a Chinese lab. Now we are learning what Anthony Fauci knew and when he knew it.

The Washington Post and BuzzFeed obtained via FOIA thousands of emails to and from Fauci regarding the WuFlu pandemic.

While the propagandist media is busy fawning over Fauci as some sort of superhuman godlet who was single-handedly battling WuFlu in some kind of one-man cage match against President Trump and the Wuhan coronavirus, these emails reveal a startling truth. They tell the story not just of Fauci’s blatant, politically-motivated lies to the public but also the great lengths the legacy media and Big Tech went to shut down any discussion of the virus’s origins or mask use efficacy. It was not about stopping the spread of “misinformation” but was a calculated political ploy to shut down the truth.  But we knew that.  And now we have proof.

Legal Insurrection’s very own Leslie, in her extensive coverage of the virus, posted reports that COVID-19 may have originated in a Chinese lab in March 2020. Such statements were deemed “misinformation” and banned from YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
Oops.

It turns out that Fauci knew about credible scientists who believed that the virus was released from a Chinese lab and that it was potentially bio-engineered back in January and February of 2020.

Fauci, who knew better, stood by silently and let the vultures drag down President Trump for suggesting the virus originated in a Chinese lab. Yet Fauci was heartily thanked (by a big donor to the NIH) for dismissing the theory . . . in public, anyway.

The National Review reports:

Peter Daszak, a zoologist whose non-profit steered U.S. funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, thanked Dr. Anthony Fauci for pushing back on the theory that the coronavirus leaked from a lab, in an April 2020 email published as part of a FOIA request by Buzzfeed.

Daszak’s organization, the EcoHealth Alliance, funneled $3.4 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health to the WIV to study bat coronaviruses between 2014 and 2019. While politicians and scientists in the U.S. have suggested that the novel coronavirus initially leaked from the WIV before spreading across the globe, Daszak has vehemently denied the allegation.

“I just wanted to say a personal thank you on behalf of our staff and collaborators, for publicly standing up and stating that the scientific evidence supports a natural origin for COVID-19 from a bat-to-human spillover, not a lab release from the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Daszak wrote to Fauci on April 18, 2020.

“From my perspective, your comments are brave, and coming from your trusted voice, will help dispel the myths being spun around the virus’s origins,” Daszak added. Fauci responded to Daszak’s email on April 19, writing “Many thanks for your kind note.”

Additionally, Fauci has come under fire for his early insistence that no one needs a mask to suddenly demanding everyone should wear one (or three!). The Democrat lapdog media explained this flip-flop as an heroic effort to keep sufficient medical-grade masks available for medical professionals who know how to use them properly.

The problem, of course, is that the public wasn’t buying those; they were buying utterly useless (according to Fauci’s emails) masks at the store or online . . . or were making them at home.

It turns out that he’s not a hopelessly incompetent medical professional. He knew that the masks one buys at the store (or worse, whips up at home from old concert tees and rubber bands) are ineffective because the virus itself is so tiny.

So he knew as a medical professional, and he lied—and is still lying—as a career bureaucrat.

Further emails show that Fauci colluded with Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg on an “information hub” regarding the accepted (for public consumption) narrative.

Buzzfeed reports:

The emails reviewed by BuzzFeed News reveal him sparring over an antiviral drug with Ezekiel Emanuel, a former Obama administration health adviser, fielding questions about vaccines, and receiving an update from Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook’s plans for a coronavirus “information hub.” Zuckerberg also asked whether the social media company could provide resources to accelerate vaccine testing.

Now Big Tech is facing a reckoning because it essentially stifled reasonable debate, including methodological and scientific studies, that countered national Democrats’ desired narrative. As a result, Facebook had to walk back the bans and allow this “misinformation” to be shared because the silenced reports have turned out to be correct.

Please don’t get excited. Big Tech won’t learn from this debacle. Instead, they will continue to decide what people can and cannot discuss. National Democrats, who will always insist on their partisan political narrative over truth, will continue to dictate these decisions from on high.

The truth may out, but the Democrats will have achieved their goal by the time it does. So what do they care if their media activist arm and their Big Tech enforcers have egg all over their faces?

Of course, people have thoughts.

Of course, people have thoughts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apparently, the White House is “looking for an exit strategy” for Fauci.

 

We’ll keep you posted.
