Fauci Confesses He “Made Up” Covid Rules, Including Six Feet Social Distancing and Masking Kids

by Toby Young
3 June 2024 9:00 AM

Bombshell testimony from Dr. Anthony Fauci earlier this year reveals he made up the six foot social distancing rule and other measures to ‘protect’ Americans from Covid. The Mail has helpfully compiled some highlights from that testimony ahead of further testimony from Fauci later today.

Kids’ learning loss and social setbacks have been well documented, with one National Institutes 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, generalised 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.

“Do you recall reviewing any studies or data supporting masking for children?” he was asked.

“I might have,” he responded, before adding “but I don’t recall specifically that I did”.

The pandemic patriarch also testified that he had not followed any studies after the fact regarding the impacts that forced mask wearing had on children, of which there have been many.

And his answer was an ironic Covid-esque pun, “I still think that’s up in the air,” Fauci said about whether masking kids was a solid way to prevent transmission.

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”.

“So I think that in and of itself isn’t inherently a conspiracy theory, but some people spin off things from that that are kind of crazy.“

His admission that COVID may have began at the WIV comes four years after he backed the publication of a paper which threw cold water on the lab leak theory called the ‘Proximal Origin’ paper.

Worth reading in full.
