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...

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

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...

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...

Newly Released Messages Reignite Questions About Fauci And COVID Origins

By: Hans Mahncke | The Federalist The greatest threat to public trust comes when powerful people and institutions use their authority to suppress the truth. The latest revelations from Sen. Rand Paul’s investigation into the origin of COVID expose what may be one of the most consequential scientific deceptions in history. The 1,123 pages of private Slack messages exchanged among the authors of the highly influential “Proximal Origin” paper reveal that the scientists who publicly declared that a laboratory origin of Covid was not plausible privately held a very different view. They repeatedly acknowledged that a laboratory origin remained possible, discussed flaws in their own arguments, and struggled to defend the natural origin theory. In ...

Michigan Senator Draws Fire Over SAVE Act Comments On Election Integrity

By: M.D. Kittle | Commentary, The Federalist Michigan Dem Sen. Elissa Slotkin said the SAVE America Act would make it ‘hard for any Democrat in any state to win an election.’ Leftist Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., has lost a lot of weight in recent months. She hasn’t gained any integrity.  At a town hall with constituents, the Michigan Democrat said the quit part out loud, explaining why her party opposes the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, also known as the SAVE America Act. The legislative package would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and photo identification to cast a ballot, and it would demand states clean up their dirty voter rolls. As The Federalist has reported, the ...

GOP Senators Push DOJ Review of Fauci Pardon and Potential Prosecution

By Katherine Pugh and Amanda Head | Just the News Paul noted that Fauci's spin operation was not only necessary for political purposes, but for survival, because in Fauci's capacity as a health official, he funded research to humanize the virus and re-adapted it to make it more contagious to humans. wo top U.S. senators are urging the Trump Justice Department to challenge the legality of President Joe Biden's pardon of Dr. Anthony Fauci and to pursue criminal charges against the nation's former top doc during the COVID-19 pandemic. "I think we should challenge the pardon, because it's an extraordinary pardon. It's a pardon not for a specific crime, and it's a pardon over a 10 year period. It's the same that he got the same thing Hunter Biden got," Sen. Rand Paul told...
