Eroding trust: Fauci confesses “Wuhan Lab leak is a real possibility” and has no idea where the six foot social distancing rule came from

Fauci-testimony Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, claimed the six foot social distancing rule 'sort of just appeared' and said that he 'might have' reviewed studied on masking kids but 'that's still up in the air'

Important Takeaways:

  • Kids’ learning loss and social setbacks have been well documented, with one National Institute of Health (NIH) study calling the impact of mask use on students’ literacy and learning ‘very negative.’
  • And the impacts from social distancing caused ‘depression, generalized anxiety, acute stress, and intrusive thoughts,’ another NIH study found.
  • Speaking to counsel on behalf of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic earlier this year, Fauci told Republicans that the six foot social distancing rule ‘sort of just appeared’ and that he did not recall how it came about.
  • ‘You know, I don’t recall. It sort of just appeared,’ he said according to committee transcripts when pressed on how the rule came about.
  • He added he ‘was not aware of studies’ that supported the social distancing, conceding that such studies ‘would be very difficult’ to do.
  • In addition to not recalling any evidence supporting social distancing, Fauci also told the committee’s counsel that he didn’t remember reading anything to support that masking kids would prevent COVID.
  • Further, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) told the counsel that he believes the lab leak theory – the idea that COVID began at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) – is a real ‘possibility.’
  • ‘I think people have made conspiracy aspects from it,’ he said, adding ‘it could be a lab leak.’
  • The coronavirus committee has dedicated months to discovering the origins of the virus that upended so many lives and resulted in the deaths of 6 million people globally.
  • Recently they have discovered that Fauci’s former top aide, Dr. David Morens, routinely conducted work on his personal email account and deleted files to avoid government transparency laws under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
  • His disregard for FOIA requests was so blatant that be bragged in emails to colleagues that he learned how to make official correspondence ‘disappear’ and that he would delete things he didn’t ‘want to see in the New York Times.’
  • Emails from Morens uncovered by the committee further revealed that he boasted about having a ‘secret back channel’ to Fauci where he could clandestinely communicate with the former NIAID director.
