Something all would-be sages stroke their chins about. And it is a problem. In recent years, we, the public, have lost faith in institution after institution. Often with very good reason. We’ve seen a multi-tiered justice system. We’ve seen the politicization of every government agency. And we’ve had profound doubts cast — by Democrats and Republicans alike — on the security of the voting system. But I doubt any institution has lost as much faith so fast as scientific “experts.” Not long ago, when “the scientists” said something, most of us listened. Then the years of COVID came. At the start of the pandemic, most of us still listened. But today? Research shows that public faith in scientists has fallen off the cliff since the pandemic. People who say they have “a great deal of confidence” in scientists have halved in a few years. And no one is more responsible for that than Dr. Anthony Fauci. This week he appeared before a closed House select subcommittee on the coronavirus. And what he said would turn a saint into a skeptic. His performance was by turns superior, shameless and suspicious. Almost every single one of the things the people of this country were told unraveled before the House subcommittee.

At the beginning of the virus, it was perfectly reasonable to note that it had come from the city of Wuhan, China. A city that just happened to have a laboratory that worked on precisely this type of respiratory virus. But for some reason, Fauci didn´t want that theory to gain traction. We now know that in February 2020, Fauci prompted the drafting of a paper to debunk the lab leak conspiracy theory. The “Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” paper was published in a scientific journal and was then used to claim that anyone suggesting the virus might have come from the laboratory was pushing a “conspiracy theory.” What did Fauci have to say about that this week? Well, he claimed before members of Congress that he in fact never rejected the lab leak theory. That is a bald-faced lie. And unfortunately for him, there are dozens of interviews from that time in which he did exactly that. He said on every available platform that the evidence “strongly” suggested the virus’s “natural occurrence.” Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
