New Devastating Anthony Fauci Emails Reveal More Misleading Statements, Extreme Incompetence

Released emails show Fauci making inexcusable mistakes, circumventing rules

What a huge surprise: Anthony Fauci is a dishonest, incompetent person. Who would have guessed?

During the pandemic, Fauci engaged in a prolonged campaign of misinformation. He said in media interviews and in private email correspondence that nobody needed to wear masks. Weeks later, with no new evidence, he flipped to saying everyone should wear a mask. In other interviews, he said wearing a mask outdoors was necessary and helpful "at all times." Then he was photographed at a Washington Nationals game in 2020 with his mask off.

Fauci during the pandemic period engaged in a long, extensive, thorough campaign of misinformation. He said in media interviews, and privately, that nobody needed to wear masks. Then weeks later, with no new evidence, said everyone should wear a mask. He said in other interviews that wearing a mask outdoors was necessary and helpful, at "all times." Then was photographed at a Washington Nationals game in 2020 with his mask off.

When his mask recommendations proved useless, he turned to demanding that the public wear two masks. He said in an interview that masks would be around 80 percent effective, then later admitted it might be as low as 10 percent. None of this jaw-dropping inconsistency impacted his role as the most important and influential voice on COVID policy in the United States. Nor did working with NIH head Francis Collins to demean and censor scientists who called out his failed leadership and disastrous mistakes.

But new emails released Wednesday by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) show that Fauci was not only dishonest with the public but also with Congress—and egregiously incompetent with COVID-19 data.
