Anthony Fauci must be furious.

He spent years proudly being the public face of the country's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He did, however, flip-flop on almost every major issue, seamlessly managing to shift his guidance based on current political whims and an enormous desire to coerce behavior.

Nowhere was this more obvious than his dictates on masks. If you recall in February 2020 Fauci infamously stated on 60 Minutes that masks didn't work. That they didn't provide the protection people thought they did, there were gaps in the fit, and wearing masks could actually make things worse by encouraging wearers to touch their face.

Just a few months later he did a 180, then backtracked by making up a post-hoc justification for his initial remarks. Laughably, Fauci said that he recommended against masks to protect supply for healthcare workers, as if hospitals would ever buy cloth masks on Amazon like the general public.

Later in interviews he guaranteed that cities or states that listened to his advice would fare better than those that didn't. Masks would limit COVID transmission so effectively, he believed, that it would be immediately obvious which states had mandates and which didn't. It was obvious, but not in the way he expected.

And now, finally, after years of being proven wrong, the White House has officially and thoroughly rebuked Fauci in every conceivable way.
