No Matter What He Does, Fauci is Too Big to Fail

Always wrong, never held accountable

Few people in the past twenty months have gotten more things more wrong, more consistently than Dr. Anthony Fauci.

It’s possible that if you actively tried to get things wrong, you wouldn’t be as successful as Dr. Anthony Fauci has been. At times it feels like he’s incapable of making accurate predictions or offering advice on policy or daily life that is remotely connected to reality.

So naturally, based on his remarkable inability to recommend effective COVID policy, he’s arguably had the most impact on global COVID policy.

From masks to school closures, to lockdowns and capacity restrictions, to predictions of doom and disaster in states that ignored his advice, to college football games, to his organization funding dangerous research that might have helped unleash the pandemic, denial of natural immunity and finally to his disastrous failure on COVID vaccines stopping the spread.

Fauci’s gotten it all wrong. And he’s done so with a complete lack of humility, inability to accept responsibility or admit mistakes, devastating lack of awareness and a terrifying disregard for individual rights.

Despite his blatant politicization of “The Science™,” the inevitable resulting collapse in public trust and repetitive, demonstrable inaccuracies, the media has refused to hold him accountable. Instead, during his incessant television appearances, interviewers have played the role of determined PR representatives and promoted his dictates as indisputable fact.

Fauci recently said he wouldn’t quit until COVID is “in the rearview mirror,” which given that he said cases in the United States would need to drop to 3-4,000 per day to achieve “normalcy” in the United States, is nearly impossible.

While discussing all of his failures would require a book, or maybe several books, reviewing some of his more dramatic inaccuracies is important given his indefinite influence.

2020

No comprehensive discussion of Fauci would be complete without mentioning his criticism of re-opening strategies in 2020.

Only a few weeks into the pandemic, after his evidence free flip flop on masks, it became apparent that COVID was less dangerous than initially feared and that restrictions were not determining outcomes.

States like California, Georgia, Arizona, South Carolina and Florida all saw low levels of spread compared to Northeastern states, despite vastly different “mitigation” policies.

In late April 2020, Georgia and South Carolina announced plans to quickly re-open a number of businesses. I’ll give you three guesses how that went over with Fauci:

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warned Americans against returning too quickly to life as it was before the pandemic.

“It’s going to backfire,” Fauci said in an interview on “Good Morning America.” “That’s the problem.”

“It’s going to backfire.”

No hesitation, no question, no maybe. “It’s going to backfire.”

Here’s what happened in Georgia for two months after he made his declarative remarks:
