Fauci rewrites history, claims he ‘had nothing to do with’ COVID school closures ...
His latest claim is that he “nothing to do” with the nationwide school lockdowns that followed the outbreak of Covid in the U.S. Nor, he says, is he in any way to blame for loss in learning among public school students that followed the switch to virtual learning. ...
Having closely followed the pronouncements of “Mr. Science” over the past two years, I just can’t let him get away with this whopper...
The facts are that, from the very first, Fauci was calling for nationwide school closures. On March 12, 2020, for example, he said, “One thing I do advise … [is] mitigation. And what was done when you close the schools is mitigation.”
And he did not hesitate to criticize those who questioned his prescriptions, as when he slammed Florida’s governor Ron DeSantis on April 12 for merely remarking that he wanted to get schools back open as soon as possible. Fauci responded by saying that opening the schools would get children infected with the coronavirus. ...
Typically for the wizened virus master, Fauci tries to have it both ways. Even as he denies having anything to do with school closures, he still claims that it was the right thing to do because it saved lives. “The idea that this virus doesn’t afflict children is not so,” he told ABC News. “We’ve already lost close to 1,500 kids so far.”
Except, we haven’t.
Fauci’s number is based on a May 2022 study claiming that COVID was responsible for 1,433 deaths among persons 19 and younger. Critics pointed out that the authors had wrongly counted hundreds who had died with COVID, but not from COVID. The authors admitted their error the following month, but Fauci apparently didn’t get the memo.
But it is his continuing denials—in the face of overwhelming evidence—that the school closures caused any lasting harm that really raised my blood pressure. I have grandchildren who clearly suffered a learning loss. Besides the dramatic drop in reading, writing and arithmetic skills, the social isolation also harmed kids, and some now have mental health issues as a result.
What I will never forget is that "smart and intelligent people" were so easily manipulated.
10% of the people I knew in Silly Con Valley had the discernment to realize that the government was lying to them - and this is after they realized that the government was lying to them through multiple wars. What I won't forget is they wouldn't engage in a discussion. I can see the contempt of the powerful over the masses now.
I'm forced to acknowledge that other people are cattle, and I need to adopt psychopathic principles to manipulate them so that they do what is beneficial to me and my family.

After describing the consequences of Dan Andrews' COVID tyranny.
Senator Ralph Babet tells a cheering crowd in Melbourne today that "sixty thousand Victorians didn't need to leave. Only one man had to leave."
hear! hear!
The premise behind COVID shot mandates and vaccine passports was that by taking the shot, you would protect others, as it would prevent infection and spread of COVID-19
In early October 2022, during a COVID hearing in the European Parliament, Dutch member Rob Roos questioned Pfizer’s president of international developed markets, Janine Small, about whether Pfizer had in fact tested and confirmed that their mRNA jab would prevent transmission prior to its rollout
Small admitted that Pfizer never tested whether their jab would prevent transmission because they had to “move at the speed of science to understand what is happening in the market ... and we had to do everything at risk”
We’ve known for well over two years that the shots were never tested for transmission interruption. In October 2020, Peter Doshi, associate editor of The BMJ, highlighted that trials were not designed to reveal whether the vaccines would prevent transmission. Yet everyone in government and media insisted they would do just that
It was never about science or protecting others. It was always about following a predetermined narrative that sought to get experimental mRNA technology into as many people as possible
More than 100k citizens signed a petition for the UK government to open a public inquiry into COVID-19 vaccine safety.
Parliament duly debated the matter.
Then, ignoring the will of the electorate, the dictatorial state said they won’t bother.
• A government lab took a virus, made it more lethal, and released it (whether accidentally or on purpose) into the population.
• Government with the collusion of the private sector intentionally blocked access to effective medicines. They literally had the medicines already on hand in a national stockpile for exactly this situation and then when the moment came they went to great lengths to keep people from getting them.
• Hospitals used the wrong protocols and continue to use the wrong protocols. That tells us that the best-trained medical professionals are so blinded by ideology that they cannot transcend failed paradigms.
• The shots have negative efficacy and the worst side effect profile ever seen. Quintuple-dosed bougiecrats look like sh*te and are dropping dead left and right yet still don’t understand what is happening to them (nor do they want to understand).
• The mainstream media has lied to us every single day for the last three years. At this point they are incapable of telling the truth because their business model depends on promoting profitable lies.
• Universities and schools require young people in their care to be injected with a product that is known to cause myocarditis even though this population is not at significant risk from the bioweapon.
• All mainstream medical associations (AMA, AAP, ACOG) and public health institutions (FDA, CDC, NIH) have completely and catastrophically failed on every measure in response to the pandemic.

🚨 ICYMI...
Mark Dolan: Covid has been the biggest “I told you so” in history. Never forgive and never forget. And when it comes to any of these disastrous Covid measures, never again.
I’m sorry somebody called you genocidal, Emily Oster. That must’ve been tough for you. You know what’s also tough? Getting your head kicked in by riot police because you had the temerity to protest against indefinite population-wide house arrest.
Or being fired from your university job and banned in perpetuity from the premises because you uploaded a video to social media complaining about the onerous and expensive testing requirements imposed upon unvaccinated staff. Or being confined to your house and threatened with fines because of personal medical decisions that had no chance of impacting the broader course of the pandemic in the first place. But somebody called this woman genocidal in French and she’s ready to move on, so it’s all good. ...
It is just hard to put into words how infuriating it is, to read this breezy triviliasation of the absolute hell we’ve been through, penned by some comfortable and clueless Ivy League mommyconomist who is ready to mouth support for basically any pandemic policy that doesn’t directly affect her or her family and then plead that the horrible behaviour and policies supported by her entire social milieu are just down to ignorance about the virus. We knew everything we needed to know about SARS-2 already in February 2020. The pandemicists and their supporters crossed many bright red lines in their eradicationist zeal and ruined untold millions of lives. That doesn’t all just go away now.
Jeffrey Tucker of Brownstone: "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" in asking forgiveness for their COVID lockdown lunacy that caused people and children to kill themselves
It’s been more than obvious since April 2020 that lockdowns were far too costly for individuals and society and could never earn a rational public-health defense. And the evidence was rolling in from one year later that the vaccine mandates were similarly indefensible.
Both tactics had in common the enormous use of state coercion that flew in the face of every principle of civilized government.
As we are constantly told, both people and government were panicked, and needlessly so. As it turns out, the infection fatality rate was not 2-3 percent, as the WHO had said early on, or 1 percent as Fauci told the Senate in March 2020, but rather 0.035 percent for anyone under the age of 60 (which is 94 percent of the population).
Covid has been highly transmissible and with it the resulting protection of natural immunity. The correct policy should have been to maintain all social and market functioning while the actual vulnerable population protected itself as it awaited widespread immunity. That’s how every generation for 100 years has handled infectious disease: as a medical and not political matter. ...
Where are the apologies? Sorry seems to be the hardest word. Faced with enormous failure, the machinery that did this to us has generally refused to say the simple word. It’s the hardest thing for people with power to admit their fallibility. Even though the whole world knows what they did and vast and increasing numbers are aware of the utter failure, the political class still insists on living in a fantasy land of its own creation.
There are exceptions.
Prime Minister Imran Khan apologized for lockdowns in April 2020.
Ron DeSantis of Florida has repeatedly said that the lockdowns were an enormous mistake and will never happen again so long as he is in charge. That’s very close to being an apology, though many residents are still awaiting the magic word.
Also in 2020, Norway’s prime minister Erna Solberg went on Norwegian television to say that she and others panicked and “took many of the decisions out of fear.”
That’s close to being an apology.
So far as I know, that’s about it. Until yesterday. The new Premier of Alberta Canada Danielle Smith has offered an apology to Albertans who were discriminated against because of their COVID-19 vaccination status. “I am deeply sorry for any government employee that lost their job and I welcome them back if they want to come back.”
Glory be! That’s precisely what we are looking for. Not just from a few but from all. The near absence of such apologies is driving the massive political realignment the world over, as furious voters demand admission of wrongdoing and justice for the victims. ...
For strange reasons of timing and loss of principle, the “woke” left found itself mixed up in lockdown politics and then the vaccine mandate. Many of them lined up with policies that violate the very rights they had spent decades defending. So much for the Bill of Rights, the freedom of movement, the appreciation for the classless society, bodily autonomy, and so on. The left lost its soul during these years, and thereby alienated multitudes of sane lefties who watched in horror as their own tribe abandoned them in favor of the authoritarianism they had long decried. ...
You mean all this suffering and horror was for naught? Once that realization dawns, fear turns to anger, and anger to action.

I'd like to know how many other maladies have an IFR of .035.
He had typical things being seen now in people post vax. They lose their personality. They lose their minds. They lose their capacity to think. They become demented. They can’t hear. They can’t speak. They can’t see. They are no longer the humans that they were. They are destroyed human beings. Their brains are destroyed. The doctor found something so terrible he had to publish right away.
oh, no worries! i'm sure you had your reasons?
you were "just following orders"?
you were just doing what the authorities said?
because i seem to remember a whole pile of excuses that sounded an awful lot like that being rejected back in the late 40’s. ...
it is precisely BECAUSE following vicious, evil orders is so easy in times of fear and that humans break and bow to authority with such ease that there must be sharp penalties, reputational and otherwise for so doing.
otherwise, you're just greasing the rails for next time. ...
“we trusted them so what we did to you because of it is not our fault” is not a real excuse. this is the exact form of authority submission we must build systems to be robust to, not to excuse away.
what emily suggests seems to me to be a recipe for doing this all again. ...
getting a disease wrong is one thing, but presuming the coercive dispensation to take whatever your “conclusion” is (especially if you are “in the dark”) and force it upon the rest of us because it makes you feel less frightened (or perhaps allows you to savor the dark frisson of being beastly to others while telling yourself you’re a good person for doing it) is not something you get amnesty for.
"I'm not saying COVID's not real," said the woman in the video after CVS employees refused her service. "I'm just saying, I'm not sick. I'm not sick and asymptomatic spread has been shown to be a myth, so why am I going to be treated like a sick person?" …
"Do you know that there have been fewer deaths in [2020] than in [2019]? All they've done is recategorize all the deaths. This is not what they're telling us it is. It's a lie. This is a lie, I'm telling you. It's a lie and everyone's buying it. And it will go on and on and on as long as they feed us this lie and we comply with it, and I am done. Tonight, I've reached a breaking point, I'm done. I know I'm not reaching any of you in here, I don't care."

And now they want "amnesty".
