The truth about Anthony Fauci has finally been revealed through personal emails he kept on a government server. The darling of Progressives and their media handmaidens during Covid has had his narcissism and dissembling exposed for all Americans to finally see. Of course, he refuses to answer for any of it - invoking the Fifth Amendment 111 times in his Senate hearing - even though Biden granted him a full pardon in 2025.
Let's start with the origin of Covid. He insisted that the covid virus evolved "naturally" even though only 2 of a dozen scientists believed that to be the case. Remember when an "honest" republican general saved D-Day by "following the science". Progressives always lecture about following the science and anyone who doesn't is slandered as a "denier". Not only did scientists think the "natural" hypothesis could be wrong but Fauci went so far as to question it himself - even though he was telling the American people that it the most likely explanation. But that didn't stop him from publishing a research paper on January 26, 2020 to suppress the theory that it was actually leaked from the Wuhan Lab in China.
He also brags about convincing Gavin Newsome and Bill DeBlasio to lock down schools and businesses even though in public he was claiming in public that he never advocated for locking down anything. How much irreparable damage was done by the lockdowns? He referred to 3 lockdown skeptics as the "3 stooges".

But it was his turning on President Trump that really made him the Progressives Covid hero. "Amazing profile of me on Nightline", he wrote. "Multiple editorials and opinion pieces written about me. Cannot keep up or even read all of them. Country needs someone to look up to in the face of the Trump Presidency", he wrote.
Remember the next time a Progressive warns you about "misinformation" and "deniers". Their tactics almost always come from Saul Alynski's "Rules for Radicals". Today's rules are Rule 8: "keep the pressure on" and Rule 13: "pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it".
