BREAKING: Did Fauci Just Admit He LIED?
In a shocking admission during closed-door testimony, Dr. Anthony Fauci revealed that he recommended masking children during the COVID-19 pandemic without reviewing any specific scientific data. This stunning revelation comes from newly-released transcripts of Fauci’s January testimony to the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. Here’s a snippet of the appalling exchange:
- Question: Do you recall reviewing any studies or data supporting masking for children?
- Fauci: You know, I might have, Mitch, but I don’t recall specifically that I did. I might have.
- Question: There’s been a lot of studies that have come out since the pandemic started, but specifically on this there have been significant on kind of like the learning loss and speech and development issues that have been associated with particularly young children wearing masks while they’re growing up. They can’t see their teacher talk and can’t learn how to form words. Have you followed any of those studies?
- Fauci: No. But I believe that there are a lot of conflicting studies too, that there are those that say, yes, there is an impact, and there are those that say there’s not. I still think that’s up in the air.
Despite this glaring lack of evidence, Fauci, the former Chief Medical Advisor to President Biden, unabashedly continued to promote child-masking policies to the public. In March 2021, he told CBS News, “When the children go out into the community, you want them to continue to wear a mask.” Then, in February 2022, he doubled down on CNN, declaring, “it is risky” to let kids take their masks off. All this, while ignoring research that has shown masking children during the pandemic severely hampered their social and emotional development, communication skills, and mental health.
To add insult to injury, during the same January testimony, Fauci admitted there was no scientific basis for his 6-foot social distancing guidelines, confessing it “just sort of appeared.”
This is a colossal failure of leadership and an outright betrayal of our children. Fauci’s actions were not just negligent; they were reckless. For someone who was supposedly the nation’s top medical expert, his disregard for scientific rigor and the real-world impact of his recommendations is indefensible.
As Fauci prepares to testify in his first public hearing since retiring in December 2022, we must demand accountability. The American people deserve answers and an apology for the harm caused by his misguided policies.
