Anthony Fauci

Post-Fauci Doc

Featured image By now millions have seen Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce urging fans to take a hit of Pfizer vaccine with their flu shot. Before making the call, fans should get to know another player behind the scenes. The Pfizer vaccines are allegedly tailored to new “variants,” which the commercials fail to explain. According to the CDC, the Covid virus “has many variants,” which “represent relatively small changes compared »

Censorship.Gov.Con

Featured image The latest installment in the chronicles of federal government censorship efforts comes from Phillip W. Magness, Ryan M. Yonk and James Harrigan, scholars with the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) in “Biden’s State Department Paid NewsGuard to Tar Organizations Like Ours.” In October 2020, AIER hosted the conference that produced the Great Barrington Declaration, the first major scientific challenge to draconian lockdown policies of Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of »

Family Plots: A Kennedy Reader, Part Deux

Featured image Sixty years ago this week, on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was gunned down, but the family’s political odyssey did not end there. JFK’s brother Robert F. Kennedy, who had served as attorney general, made a run for the White House but on June 5, 1968, but Jordanian immigrant Sirhan Sirhan shot RFK dead. That raised expectations for Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy. In July of 1969, the “boiler »

Fauci unmasked…again

Featured image We’ve had Anthony Fauci’s number for a long time. I took to calling him the fallacious Anthony Fauci during the epidemic, mostly for the alliteration. However, his fallacies served his lying and his will to power, which seem to be his leading characteristics. Asked over the weekend about the January 2023 study by Tom Jefferson et al. published by Cochrane pooh-poohing the efficacy of the mask regime, Fauci served up »

Fauci: I’m a Bureaucrat, Not a Scientist

Featured image As we noted earlier, Anthony Fauci was deposed yesterday in the First Amendment lawsuit brought by the states of Missouri and Louisiana. There is no transcript of the deposition, but the lawyers have tweeted about what Fauci said, and Legal Insurrection has the news: The deposition of Anthony Fauci took place today in the lawsuit commenced by Louisiana and Missouri, alleging that numerous Biden administration officials colluded with and directed »

The Fauci & the damage done

Featured image Kyle Smith’s New York Post column on the fallacious Dr. Fauci and the damage he has done is worthy of special attention. It picks up several of the threads we followed during the endless public health “emergency.” Ignore the gratuitous swipe at Trump and read the whole thing here. Quotable quote: “Even if non-pharmaceutical interventions did work, we’d still need to subject them to the same cost-benefit analysis as any »

Why did they suppress the lab-leak theory?

Featured image We have occasionally turned to science writer Matt Ridley for clarity and illumination. He brings both to the latest news about the lab-leak theory of the origin of Covid-19. His Spiked column asks “Why did scientists suppress the lab-leak theory?” Subhead: “In private, they said it was plausible. In public, they called it a conspiracy theory.” Ridley recounts: In December 2019 there was an outbreak in China of a novel »

The Collins crock: WSJ edition

Featured image Yesterday in “The Collins crock” I took up the disgusting comments of now retired NIH head Francis Collins on FOX News Sunday. Today the Wall Street Journal comments on the substance of the emails disclosing the public relations campaign concocted by Collins and the fallacious Anthony Fauci to quash the Great Barrington Declaration. The Journal follows up in the excellent reported editorial “How Fauci and Collins Shut Down Covid Debate.” »

Fauci calls for firing of Jesse Watters

Featured image Anthony Fauci says Fox News should fire Jesse Watters “on the spot.” Why? Because Watters told those attending Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference that they should “ambush” Fauci with questions about the National Institutes of Health funding “gain-of-function” research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Watters said of the questioning he proposed: Now you go in for the kill shot. The kill shot? With an ambush? Deadly. Because he doesn’t »

Mr. Science balks

Featured image For a long time, I sympathized with Dr. Anthony Fauci. There he was, trying to deal with a pandemic caused by a virus no one knew much about. Sure, he was often wrong about pandemic-related matters, but so were plenty of others, on both sides of the political spectrum and in between, who opined on these subjects. Everyone was shooting in the dark. But at some point — possibly because »
