The death count and the fame: what Fauci wrote when no one was watching

By Connor Boyack | Commentary, Self-Evident On May 21, 2020, in his newly released pandemic diary, Anthony Fauci opens his daily entry with a ledger. Global COVID-19 cases. New cases. Deaths. Italy’s toll, now past China’s. The American numbers underneath. Then a line about the task force meeting, and a note that the press conference went well. Then, with no transition whatsoever, the subject changes. A flattering profile has run on the front page of The Washington Post. His fame, he writes, has become explosive and unimaginable. It would not be hyperbole, he assures himself, to say that he is now “the most famous and talked about person in the country.” (This, in addition to calling himself “the most credible scientist in the world.” ) He was wri...

Davidson: The lockdown was an assault on the Bill of Rights

By Jay Davidson | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Fauci's testimony is evidence of how the Bill of Rights works now. In this referenced article, Jeff Tucker points out that the personification of the lockdown, Fauci, successfully used the Fifth Amendment to protect his freedom, writing, "It's actually quite inspiring to see how the Bill of Rights works in a case of such significance." But how did the breakdown in individual rights manifest? Was intent behind the panic or did certain people in power jump at the chance to use a crisis to gain control? Perhaps it was simply mass hysteria and no one was behind it and no one amplified it. The fact is much simpler: The pandemic led to massive loss of individual rights and enormous disruption of business transactions. Jeff ...

Senate Release Reveals Fauci Discussion of COVID Vaccine Risks for Pregnant Women

By Eric Mack | Fox News Fauci discussed the risks from COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant women. Dr. Anthony Fauci privately discussed concerns about COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for pregnant women in January 2021, including questions about fever after a second dose and a theoretical risk of miscarriage during the first trimester, according to newly released text messages obtained from his government-issued cell phone. The exchange involved Fauci, then-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Dr. Vivek Murthy, who would later become former President Joe Biden's surgeon general. Fauci said, because many people experience significant cytokine-related symptoms and fever after a second dose, that reaction "theoretically...

Senate panel votes to hold Fauci in contempt as investigators obtain COVID-era phone

By Jefferey Jaxen | Commentary, Jefferey Jaxen (Substack) *BREAKING: Fauci has been held in contempt of Congress by an 8-5 vote. Next steps for the fast-tracked rstates that the President of the Senate, Vice President JD Vance, "shall certify" the committee's referral and report directly to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia at the Department of Justice. Limited hangout: A public relations and media strategy where an organization or government admits to a portion of a damaging truth after a cover-up fails. By releasing controlled, selective facts, they satisfy public curiosity and prevent deeper investigation while keeping key secrets hidden. Today is the vote heard around the world. It’s unclear at this point if the Justice Department would act on that ref...

Senate Investigators Secure Fauci Government Cellphone in Expanding COVID Probe

By Mariane Angela | Breitbart A Senate committee led by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) has obtained a forensic copy of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s cellphone. The Department of Health and Human Services handed over the device data to the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. The development follows the release of Fauci’s personal journals after HHS turned them over to Congress. Johnson’s office said the cellphone dates back to Fauci’s tenure as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The device is now overseen by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has long accused Fauci of protecting the pharmaceutical industry and undermining individual freedoms. READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT BREITBART

Fauci Diary Renews Questions About Colorado’s COVID Response

By: Jon Caldara | Commentary, Complete Colorado We are finally getting a clearer picture of what happened during COVID. Not because the people who locked us up, masked our faces and forced unproven chemicals into our bodies have suddenly become transparent, but because Anthony Fauci’s COVID-era diary is coming into public view. This long document makes one thing painfully clear: the people who forced us to surrender our lives to their expertise did not have the expertise they claimed. At best, they were guessing. And when their guesses failed, they did not retreat. They didn’t come clean. They doubled down. Arrogance unbridled Our health, our freedoms, our bodies, our economy, our children’s education were all less important than their unchallenge...

Biden Pardon and Fauci Fifth Amendment Fight Headed for the Courts

By Just the News Contributor | Just the News Whether Fauci was legally entitled to invoke Fifth Amendment may ultimately depend on how courts balance broad immunity conferred in Biden pardon against remaining risk of post-pardon criminal exposure. Dr. Anthony Fauci, who helped lead the country's COVID pandemic response, invoking the constitutional right against self-incrimination last week during a contentious Senate hearing on the response and the virus's origins has sparked a fierce legal – and political – debate whose origins date back to a late-1800s Supreme Court decision and that will likely be resolved in court.  Sen. Rand Paul, the Senate committee chairman, argues the constitutional privilege no longer applies because the sweeping, preemptive pardon for...

Clinton Era Tactics Still Shape Democrat Crisis Response

By: Chris Bray | Commentary, The Federalist Delay, delay, delay, then dismiss the scandal as old news. Clinton 101. Democrats always lie the same way, so pattern recognition becomes a kind of vaccine, except that it actually creates immunity. Once you know how they do it, they can never fool you again. Unless you’re also a Democrat, in which case you were born to be fooled, and you can just go back to sucking your thumb in a basement. Back in the political Pleistocene, a slippery American president who was known as “Slick Willie” slogged through scandal after scandal, often in the company of his amoral and tone-deaf grifter wife. Perpetually embroiled in controversy because of their own behavior, this shameless couple developed a set of reliable techniques for t...

Fauci Invokes Fifth Amendment More Than 100 Times as Senate Eyes Contempt Vote

By: Kaelan Deese | Washington Examiner Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination more than 100 times on Wednesday, a move legal experts described as strategically sound despite the politically damaging optics. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), chairman of the Senate homeland security and governmental affairs committee, scheduled an Aug. 5 vote on a resolution to hold the nation’s former leading expert on the COVID-19 pandemic in contempt of Congress. “It’s against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress,” Paul told Fauci. “There will be repercussions for your refusal to testify.” Two legal experts told the Washington Examiner following the hearing that the preemptive pardon Fauci received from former President Jo...

Fauci invoked the Fifth. The COvid Chronicles recorded what Colorado lived.

By Rocky Mountain Voice Editorial Board Sen. Bernie Moreno asked former White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci on Wednesday to turn around and look at Americans seated behind him who stood after Moreno asked whether they had been shamed, fired or otherwise harmed during the government response to COVID-19. “All you have to do is look up from your lawyers and look at the people who were absolutely shamed for saying what we know now to be the truth,” the Ohio Republican said. “You can’t even look at them?” Fauci did not turn toward the audience. He briefly turned only after his attorney tapped him on the shoulder, spoke with his attorney, then faced forward again. Moreno then asked, “That's a question. Are you able to look at them?” Fauci replied, “On the advice o...
