The six foot distancing "rule" "sort of just appeared" without any scientific basis, the malignant dwarf now admits.
Like 95% of his decrees.
Dr. Anthony Fauci confessed to lawmakers Tuesday that guidelines to keep six feet of separation -- ostensibly to limit the spread of COVID-19 -- "sort of just appeared" without scientific input.
Fauci, 83, revealed to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic that the "six feet apart" recommendation championed by him and other US public health officials was "likely not based on scientific data," according to Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), who is also a physician.
Schools nationwide remained closed well into the second year of the pandemic as a result of the social distancing guidelines, which were disputed by both research studies and other health officials.
"It never struck me that six feet was particularly sensical in the context of mitigation," Dr. Ashish Jha, the dean of the Brown University School of Public Health who served as President Biden's COVID response coordinator for 15 months, told the New York Times in March 2021.
"I wish the CDC would just come out and say this is not a major issue."
...
A top White House adviser to two presidential administrations, Fauci's transcribed interview before the House COVID panel "revealed systemic failures in our public health system and shed light on serious procedural concerns with our public health authority," according to Wenstrup.
Those "failures" included foisting vaccination mandates on schools and businesses.
"After two days of testimony and 14 hours of questioning, many things became evident. During his interview today, Dr. Fauci claimed that the policies and mandates he promoted may unfortunately increase vaccine hesitancy for years to come," Wenstrup said.
"It is clear that dissenting opinions were often not considered or suppressed completely. Should a future pandemic arise, America's response must be guided by scientific facts and conclusive data."
The goblin-fingered fascist is also benefiting from Selective Advantageous Memory Loss.
Wenstrup also said committee members "remain frustrated with Dr. Fauci's inability to recollect COVID-19 information that is important for our investigation," while "others we have spoken to do recall the facts."
Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas), who sits on the panel, said Tuesday night that Fauci had shown an "amazing ability to either forget what happened or then to find ways to shirk any sort of responsibility for the influence that was had," during the two-day affair.
"They wash their hands of any sort of responsibility, saying, 'Oh, those decisions were made by school districts.' But the school districts know, if you don't follow the guidance that's coming out of the federal government, you open yourselves up to lawsuits," Cloud said of Fauci and other US pandemic response officials.
The fake scientist also discards the large number of studies that have proven significant, possibly irreversible learning loss due to the school closings he ordered. Wait, he claims he didn't order them; he just scared the hell out of liberal school administrators and presented false claims about children dying from covid.
Fauci says he doesn't believe in learning loss.
"He says he's still not convinced that there was learning loss -- that in his view, that's still really open for discussion," Cloud also told The Post.
He's a Learning Loss Denier. Will FaceBook deplatform him?
The NY Post reminds us that Fauci explicitly admitted that lying to people to frighten them was a critical part of his strategy of control and domination of the public:
In 2021, Fauci had also said it was "proven that when you make it difficult for people in their lives, they lose their ideological bulls--t, and they get vaccinated."
Here's an example of Fauci lying to the public to force them to do what he wanted them to do:
Fauci is also creating a new defense against perjury charges. He repeatedly lied under oath about never having funded gain-of-function research.
Now he's fashioned himself a defense for a future perjury trial -- he now claims that, incredibly, he never even bothered reading the grant applications for viral experimentation which resulted in millions of dollars for gain of function Frankensteining in many labs, particularly the Wuhan lab that created covid-19.
Though he doesn't expressly say this now, the implication is clear: "Hey, when I lied about not funding gain of function, I wasn't lying, because I never even read the grant applications. I didn't knowingly know I was funding gain of function research because I'm a lazy incompetent who doesn't bother reading the descriptions of the research I'm steering millions in taxpayer monies to."
No intent!, whispers James Comey.
Quoting National Review:
During the first seven hours of the transcribed interview on Monday, Fauci repeatedly defended his previous Senate testimony in which he claimed the National Institutes of Health did not fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, which was conducting research on bat coronaviruses that may have produced the Covid pandemic. Similar to his hearing exchanges with Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.), Fauci disagreed with Congress�s definition of �gain-of-function� to avoid admitting that the NIH funded potentially dangerous research that led to the pandemic�s outbreak.
Gain-of-function research refers to making viruses more infectious or deadly for laboratory study.
Fauci also testified that he approved of all foreign and domestic NIAID grants without reviewing the proposals, and conceded that he was unable to confirm whether NIAID has any procedure in place to conduct oversight of the foreign labs they fund.
That's not a "concession," that's a future defense at a perjury trial -- he's claiming there were no procedures which would inform him if a lab was conducting gain-of-function research, furthering his Nazi-like "I know nossing, nossing at all" defense.
Also from that National Review article: while Fauci was lying and perjuring himself insisting that the Wuhan lab he funded was not conducting gain-of-function research, he admitted in a private email that it was a "fact" that Wuhan was doing GOF research.
Confronted with this, Fauci now says he Made a Freudian Typo and that he was wrong at the time to say it was a "fact."
Furthermore, when presented with his February 2020 email to NIH officials demonstrating he was then aware of the gain-of-function research taking place in China, Fauci backpedaled, saying he should not have stated the Wuhan lab's involvement as "fact" in the email.
"The suspicion was heightened by the fact that scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain of function experiments to determine the molecular mechanisms associated with bat viruses adapting to human infection, and the outbreak originated in Wuhan," Fauci wrote in the February 2020 email to his colleagues.
All of this is creating some blowback for Donald Trump, who effectively made Anthony Fauci the President-in-Fact for a year, and later bestowed upon him a Presidential Commendation for his great service.
Donald Trump is frank and forthright in admitting that if there were any mistakes made, they were all made by (checks notes) Ron "DeSanctimonious."

This isn't even in the same universe as the truth
Fauci repeatedly, forcefully criticized DeSantis in 2020 for reopening Florida before Fauci wanted him to. If anything, DeSantis became Fauci's worst enemy because Florida proved him wrong about masks, lockdowns and schools
I know people make excuses for Trump's cowardly, weakling failure to step up to Fauci and Brix and tell them know. The country was in a panic, they'll say. He's a germophobe. Fauci and Brix "played" him.
(The very stable genius seems to get "played" by leftwingers an awful lot.)
Okay, suppose I excuse his Chicken Little act in 2020-2021:
What excuses his shameless, remorseless lying now?
Is just everything acceptable if Trump does it?
