Cynicism of the highest order.

On January 20, 2025 – just hours before President Joe Biden was to leave office – it was announced that he had issued a pre-emptive pardon to Dr. Anthony Fauci.
You remember Lord Fauci. He was the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. “I am the science,” he once said to an interviewer. In his role as head of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, he drove an entire nation into what amounted to house arrest.
To “stop the spread,” schools and churches were closed, the elderly died alone in nursing homes, uncomforted by family, small businesses were forced to close, and tens of millions of nominally free American citizens had to give up their livelihoods.
“Two weeks to flatten the curve” turned into two years of economic and social devastation. Small independent retailers and mom & pop restaurants were forced to shut down. They went out of business. But Target and Wal-Mart got to stay open. Their stock prices soared. Many of the former owners of the small businesses that were shut down now face their retirement years with little to get them by.
Young children who were kept from going to kindergarten and early elementary school are now teenagers and a huge percentage of them are behind academically and will likely never catch up.
Fauci had us maintaining six feet of social distancing while walking around with dirty masks on our faces in an affront to epidemiological science.
And it was his Lordship Anthony Fauci who convinced President Trump to fast track the development of mRNA vaccines in an effort that got dubbed “Operation Warp Speed.”
“Fine,” we all said.
But here’s what’s now coming to light that’s not fine.
For the drug makers to develop The Jab they demanded protection from product liability. Under the rules, to get that protection, the drugs would have to be deployed under an Emergency Use Authorization – EUA – from the Food & Drug Administration. But to get an EUA, there could be no other “approved, adequate and available” therapies.
The problem was that there was plenty of evidence that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ivermectin – two readily available and inexpensive drugs with long use histories – were quite effective at treating COVID when administered early in the course of the disease.
The government spent more than $30 billion on The Jab. Drug makers Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, in turn, paid hundreds of millions in royalties to Fauci’s agency to license government-owned technology in their development. There are persistent but admittedly unproven rumors that Fauci profited personally from some of those payments. We’ll never know.
What we do know is that Fauci aggressively and often ruthlessly set out to crush any use of HCQ and ivermectin, their low risk and demonstrated effectiveness be damned.
What we’ll also never know is how many people died needlessly because Fauci quashed an inexpensive and low risk therapy in an apparent attempt to further his empire.
But what we always will know is that the Biden administration thought that he needed a pardon.
There is no question that many of the early studies of Covid were biased because of the number of people in the studies. For example: highly accurate test (99.99%) for a rare disease (1/10,000), with a false positive rate (1/10,000) saying Covid existed even though it did not. What is the probability, expressed as a percent, that one had Covid? It’s 50%. Many of these tests for Covid were just wrong. To this day, many have genuine questions about shutting down our country for two years.
What an odd phenomenon. It took us six years to get mad about this guy, as if everyone is still too scared to talk about it.
Okay! Need to vent again. I love an analogy. Here goes: The reflecting pool in Washington DC. Certainly, it was “reflecting” (doing its job) but look what was underneath. The filth of our country was covered up and has caused rot and stink and decay. Corruption in the heart of our country.
Certainly Fauchi has his place in that cesspool that President Trump just had flushed out of our Reflecting Pool. Will we ever know what lies in the remaining cesspools in our country? No. But, we know they exist and there will always be those who are willing to suit up and help drain the swamp. (Thank you Paul Gleiser)
I struggle to remain optimistic, but I will. Fauchi is just another pile of that muck that got cleaned up and he will eventually get his payday. I am so heartbroken for those who lost family or their lives because of him. I remember how it scared everyone.
Anthony Fauchi – never forget!
When looking at this pile of rat turds, this exactly what I see him as…A BIG OLE RAT! He sure hasn’t gotten what he deserves that is for sure. It is sad that we had to go through what he put us through and never received any form of punishment! He deserves to be put in the tunnels under New York to be with his relatives! A prison cell would be too good for him!
I don’t know how His Lordship Fauci factors into what I am about to type; but he must be a surrogate of this organization somehow; The World Economic Forum. Back in the fall of 2019 the WEF war gamed a worldwide pandemic. Low and behold we find out years later Covid 19 really started to spread, not in 2020 but in the fall of 2019. Why would the WEF war game a pandemic and at the very time it was turned loose on the world? Was Fauci connected with these untrustworthy billionaires? I do not think anyone has looked into this possibility. China has representatives who attend the annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland every year. This is something the FBI should; really must, look into at some point. Maybe they already have. So many crimes were committed against all the people of the USA during this debacle, it will take decades to unravel. Unfortunately, by that time, the Grim Reaper will have harvested the guilty.
The members of the Biden administration that should be in jail continues to grow. Fauci lied repeatedly about COVID. Comey lied about Russian collusion in the election. They lied about the January 6th “insurrection” crap. Mayorkas lied about the border being secure and denying the invasion of illegals. They all lied about the evacuation of Afghanistan. Mamdani lied, Spanburger lied, Newsome CAN’T tell the truth, Bass, Pritzger, Walz, Omar, the list is endless! The high and mighty think they know what is best for the poor idiots that make up the working class. They will continue as long as we allow them to get away with it.
In my opinion, Fauci ranks up there with the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao and the fact that he got a pardon is reason enough to incorporate new laws limiting its use.
