Making the rounds on liberal TV, 82-year-old Dr. Anthony Fauci, retiring Chief of Allergy and Infectious Disease at the National Institutes of Health, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd that he’s a scientist, public health official with no ax to grind in politics. Speaking to anti-Trump Chuck Todd, could it be any more obvious that Fauci played the same game during the 2020 presidential election during the height of the Covid-19 global pandemic. Fauci appeared on countless TV and radio show, interviewed by hosts with extreme bias against 76-year-old President Donald Trump. Fauci committed more egregious partisan attacks on Trump through his media contacts than 79 year-old Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward. Does Fauci think Woodward had an ax to grind against Trump? Fauci spent more time talking to the anti-Trump press than performing public health duties.
Retiring from public service soon, Fauci played an integral role in the Democrat strategy during the 2020 election to paint Trump as botching the government’s Covid-19 response, telling voters he’s not worthy of reelection. Democrats had a key strategy in the 2020 election to paint Trump as a hazard to the U.S. health system, not to mention a white nationalist in the waked of George Floyd’s May 25, 2020 murder by Minneapolis police. But let the record be clear about Fauci, he used the Democrat airwaves to discredit Trump’s response to the deadly novel cornavirus. “I don’t align myself with anybody,” Fauci told Todd. “I respect the former vice president, we got along very well in the White House but disagree with him,” Fauci said. Pence claims that Fauci aligned himself with Democrat governors. Every interview Fauci gave, nearly 24/7, disparaged Trump’s handling of Covid-19.
What’s important about Fauci’s recent comments are that they expose a bigger problem with the public health official calling him a man of science. “I m a physician. I’m scientist. I’m a public health person,” Fauci insisted. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or a Republican, I go by the public health principles,” Fauci told Todd, totally distorting his record during the 2020 campaign. Fauci accepted invitations on CNN, MSNBC and any other anti-Trump network, all asking him loaded questions to discredit the president’s response to the Covid-19 health crisis. Fauci likes to hide behind his titles but he joined forces with Bob Woodward and the Democrat Party to use the Covid-19 crisis as the key campaign issue to deny Trump a second term. Fauci worked hand-in-glove with Woodward and Democrat strategist to blame Trump for mismanaging the Covid-19 global pandemic.
Fauci had his famous dust-ups with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), also a physician, testifying under oath about his involvement in the creating of the deadly novel coronavirus. Fauci called Paul a “liar,” on numerous occasions, when Paul asked him about his role in funding “gain-of-function” research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Fauci adamantly denied he had anything to do with funding dangerous “gain-of-function” research where harmless bat cornonavirus are turned into the most dangerous pathogens known to man. Fauci emphatically denied under oath that he ever funded “gain-of-function” research in Shi Zhengli’s biowapons lab. Fauci told Paul, “You don’t know what you’re talking about.” Paul pointed out that Fauci funded EcoHealth Alliance CEO Peter Daszak who gave Zhengli’s Wuhan lab over a million dollars to study bat coronaviruses.
So when Fauci tells anti-Trump MSNBC that he’s nonpartisan, simply a man of science or public health official he’s continuing the charade. No one in the 2020 presidential campaign did more damage to Trump publicly than Fauci. Carrying on his deception is a matter of pride for Fauci, thinking he can talk circles around layman, not familiar with the intricacies of science. When Paul confronted Fauci about funding EcoHealth Alliance “gain-of-function: research, Fauci went ballistic, screaming at Paul, calling him a “liar.” Whether Fauci admits it or not, he directed millions from the NIH to Daszak’s group to studying “gain-of-function” research. Noted University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, microbiologist Ralph Baric admitted to injecting harmless bat coronavirus in Shhegli’s Wuhan lab with Angiotensi II [ACE 2], transforming harmless bat cornavirus in dangerous pathogens.
Fauci likes getting interviewed by the liberal press that goes along without questioning his past statements or actions. What Fauci doesn’t like is anyone questioning his judgment or actions. Fauci gave Daszak’s EcoHealth alliance almost a blank check to study corornaviruses in Zhengli’s Wuhan lab. Emails between Daszak and Fauci show both wholeheartedly supported the “natural occurrence” theory of the origin of the virus. Daszak was the first to get a group of like-minded scientists to publish the natural occurrence theory in the British Medical Journal Lancet. China dismissed all responsibility for Zhengli’s bat coronavirus experiments. On March 13, 2020, only two days after WHO declared a global pandemic, China’s Foreign Minister Zhao Lijian said the deadly novel coronavirus was made in America and exported to China. Fauci had no comment for Lijian;s statements.
