White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci confirmed on Tuesday that he is suffering from “Covid rebound” symptoms after being treated with Paxlovid and is now feeling “much worse” than before the treatment. MailOnline has the story.
Paxlovid, a drug that was anointed as America’s silver bullet against COVID-19 by some health officials and even President Joe Biden, may not have any effectiveness for people that are already vaccinated, according its manufacturer Pfizer’s own data.
Fauci, 81, broke the news [of his new positive test] while speaking remotely at the Foreign Policy Global Health Forum.
Earlier this month, Fauci tested positive for the virus with mild symptoms including fatigue. As his symptoms got slightly worse, Fauci began a five day course of Paxlovid.
Following that course, Fauci said that he tested negative for the virus three days in a row. He decided to test again on the fourth day. The result came back positive.
In May, the Centers for Disease Control issued a formal warning regarding a COVID-19 rebound as result of a course of Paxlovid.
The agency said that some patients who were prescribed Paxlovid suffered a recurrence of symptoms or tested positive for Covid between two and eight days after recovery.
The CDC announcement said that there was not enough data to make a conclusion on the cause for the rebound. The agency noted that none of the reported rebound cases saw patients suffer a severe recurrence.
In his announcement about his Covid rebound, Fauci said that his symptoms were “much worse” after he tested positive for the second time.
According to a June 22nd University of California San Diego School of Medicine study, COVID-19 rebound symptoms after a course of Paxlovid are caused because not enough of the drug was getting to infected cells to stop all viral replication. The study refers to this as a lack of exposure to the drug.
The day after that study was published, Pfizer published its Phase 2/3 Paxlovid trial data. The data analysed Paxlovid’s ability to prevent hospitalisation or death depending on a person’s vaccination status and individual risk profile. It found that a fully vaccinated person with little personal risk had little to gain from using the drug.
Paxlovid is to be used by a Covid positive person to limit symptoms and prevent them from becoming serious enough to require intense medical care. The drug received emergency use authorization in late 2021. Biden has propped it up during his 2022 State of the Union address as one of the keys to America’s Covid response, even offering it for free to anyone who tests positive for the virus.
Last Thursday, during the initial bout of illness, Dr. Fauci told the Senate Health, Education, Labour, and Pensions Committee that:
I’m still feeling really quite fine. I think I´m an example, given my age, of what we´re all talking about today. I´m vaccinated. I´m doubly boosted. And I believe if that were not the case, I very likely would not be talking to you looking as well as I look, I think, right now. So all is well with Fauci.
His illness has become worse in recent days.

Danny you are doing it all again with nut zero. Listening to fools, giving money to the wealthy to subsidise windmills, following models instead of actual evidence, ignoring and cancelling the real experts and of course taxing and regulating anyone with sensible ideas.
Allowing the same media to crush debate and propagandise the green bollux as they did with Covid.
Yes except nut zero is infinitely worse because it’s supposedly permanent.
Blame Mrs May for [Agenda 2030] she done what you call a ‘smash and grab’….And legged it with a large bonus from a company that no longer exists. I would ask her if she feels proud, and how people in Port Talbot are feeling. Used to drive past there regular. Ugly place but that is part of industrialisation that they want to make a thing of the past.
The Cloud Factory as we call it.
My medic friend from Port Talbot, whose dad worked in the steelworks, said they used to light fags to get a breath of fresh air.
But not a single question from any politician was asked as to cost or practicality so they are all in on the scam not just Teresa May. —-It seems the political class with very few exceptions are all Closet Ed Milibands.
They are doing there best to make it permanent by physically destroying traditional generating capacity and the supporting infrastructure. There can be no quick return.
unlike Germany which mothballed and is now reopening coal stations.
Looks like you beat me to it.
“In those early months I regarded the whole Covid episode simply as a traumatic pause in the life of the country, thankfully managed by people who knew what they were doing, and I looked forward to a brighter future beyond it.”
I don’t care if he had a Damascene conversion and repents – the bloke’s seriously deluded.
As were about 75% of the population.
Very true. But the unquestioning acceptance of “the narrative” by nearly every MP was stunning. I naively expected some members of parliament to be free thinkers. Silly me.
People are dead or badly injured or ruined. Many people.Thanks for the apology, but there need to be consequences for those who committed these crimes – the scientistic priests, the pols in charge, the censors in government and the media, big pharma. Consequences.
The get out clause though as always is that “We followed the science”. ——–Government and their scientists have long had this symbiotic relationship. .
Yep. As did the NSDAP. Its version of the science at least.
Speaking of which, the vaccine mandates were a blatant violation of the Nuremberg Code, Article 1, for which 6 doctors were hanged.
Ah yes that ‘International Law’ that they love so much in Parliament, above the rights of British citizens. Some international law is more important then others depending on the narrative I guess.
In my Britain there’s no right to conduct involuntary medical experiments.
“we [were ] looking literally at only one side of the equation”.
Well said, Mr Kruger.
As you will know, governments rarely, if ever, survive incompetence on this scale.
We may vainly hope that the inquiry also implicates the next government, as it undoubtedly should…..but we know it will not…….
Why has the leitmotif of consecutive governments from Major onwards has been ‘in office but not in power? It is true that Blair pushed through devolution and the hunting act but these were fripperies designed for electioneering rather than real required and useful reforms. And the silly permanent electioneering is, of course, the reason.
‘We are in thrall to a priestly class of professional scientists’ is very much still the case.
As others have remarked, nut zero is a classic case in point.
Yet again, where is the fully worked cost/benefit analysis that justifies all the, at best eccentric, nut zero measures?
Where is the rigorous interrogation and verification of the scientific evidence behind the lunatic drive to nut zero?
The next government has a massive open flank: nut zero.
You may all, those of you left after the election, you lucky few, make amends by shooting down that absurd silliness in flames, shouting the real scientific facts from the rooftop again and again and again…..

Most people would like to discuss test and trace, lockdown tiers and the vaccine programme as much as they want to discuss Brexit”
Hardly the same comparing the largest democratic vote in history and the Covid scam. I’m wondering, did any constituents try and warn of this coordinated Globalist power grab?
Human Rights are not worth the paper when Government can just declare an ’emergency’ and exaggerate the dangers through a bought up media. As others mentioned. 1968 Flu they ‘did nothing’ and partied at Woodstock.
“The official enquiry into the pandemic, led by Baroness Hallett, will, I hope, help us understand why decisions were taken and what their effect was.”
Rofl, and there was no pandemic.
The whole point of the Official Enquiry is to exonerate ALL the guilty men and women.
And give the green light so they can do it all again whenever they/the WHO wants.
It’s a shame that Mr Kruger doesn’t seem to see this, despite his awakening.
“Let me show you 25 more pieces of evidence proving that Covid was a big hoax”

Are you polishing your leaflet for the General Election? Might be worth finding a better agent for that to come up with something easy to read, perhaps simple and effective, etc.
While I welcome a fellow sceptic, you’re rather late to the table. You sat by and watched these crimes unfold and completely abdicated your responsibilities as an elected member of parliament.
Those of us who objected were lambasted and insulted, even eminent and respected scientists. Families were torn apart. Old people died alone, forbidden from seeing their families. People were compelled to get injected with untested muck or lose their jobs.
I will not be satisfied until this truth is broadcast prominently and loudly, with just as much force as we were subjected to, such that the whole population feels as angry as I do.
Perhaps you can start by loudly supporting Andrew Bridgen’s energetic attempts to get a properly attended debate regarding the excess deaths and the untold harms caused by the jibbyjabs.
23 October 2023
“I was pleased to be able to attend the debate on excess deaths in Parliament on Friday, opened by Andrew Bridgen MP. It was an Adjournment Debate, meaning it comes at the end of the day’s main business, and does not include a vote; Adjournment Debates are generally not well attended, and this being a Friday when most MPs are in their constituencies, I was pleased that so many MPs did actually make it, on my (Conservative) side at least – the opposition benches were empty save for the solitary shadow minister on duty, and Mr Bridgen.
There is clearly a major problem with excess deaths, and given the obsessive coverage of the daily death toll during the pandemic, it is quite wrong how little political and media attention is given to this.
Andrew Bridgen’s view is that the vaccines are to blame. I defend his right to make this argument without being smeared and defamed. Most importantly – and given the number of people who agree with him, and the falling rates of trust in vaccines we are seeing in the population – the Government should take active steps to investigate his claims and either admit them, modify them or rule them out. MPs like me could then give confident reassurance to our constituents, based on evidence.
I wrote to the Health Secretary with this suggestion earlier in the year, and in the debate on Friday I called for the Government to commission a proper study of the excess deaths phenomenon. I was sorry the Minister did not reply to this suggestion, and I shall continue to press for greater attention to the issue, and transparency of evidence.”

Touché
Suffers from the same problem as the article: Kruger is committed to the party line, presumably whatever the party line is at the moment, but that’s a measured committment to the party line. Not an unreasonable chap, after all, it’s just then when push came to shove, nobody could count on him and he’s still convinced that COVID was a once-in-an-eternity humantarian catastrophe avoided just in time by the miraculous covaccines. Should, however, the government happen to change its stance on that, Kruger will most gladly toe the new party line as well.
Bah.
Weasel off, suit-draped non-entity.
He wasn’t at the last 2 hearings though.
Are you sure?
He was at the WHO pandemic treaty Westminster debate and strongly argued against it.
I mean the one before Christmas when Andrew Mitchell swept the chamber clean and the cttee. one most recently when more MPs were in evidence.
Everything the squirmers do is “wrong”. ——-Wind forward 20 years and they will finally admit Net Zero was not only wrong but immoral, as its true goal was not revealed and we are fobbed off with phony save the planet excuses when it was Malthusian politics that actually hijacked the environment to control the worlds wealth, resources and limit population rise.
The grunts, in this case the likes of people such as Kruger, will simply accept the line put out by government but being reasonable this is simply not good enough.
If that is all you can manage Mr Kruger then you are not up to the job you are being extravagantly rewarded for occupying. It would be grossly inappropriate to accuse you of actually ‘doing’ the job.
Just not good enough.
It is a least good that you recognise you were part of the evil but you should have done the decent thing and resigned.
And still believing that vaccines were a good thing rather than another evil is worse. Using Dominic Cummings to support your argument? Come on.
A new virus talked up to be the Black Death when it was no worse than the Hong Kong flu when the country just carried on as normal.
Do what that hopeless, supposed religious woman who ran the Post Office through its darkest hour did and give your MBE back.
All of Parliament with one or two exceptions went along with this disgusting evil and you were one that did embrace and endorse it. You should resign now although I expect you’ll be out at the next election anyway.
To say it was fantastic how the scientists managed to get a new vaccine out within three weeks or whatever it was is crass. The scientists were the people who should have been loudly saying, “We can’t do this safely in that time.”
Nobody praises Soviet engineers for rushing to build a moon rocket to beat America and causing a massive explosion, do they?
Standard time for getting something like a “vaccine” developed and ready for market is 10 – 15 years.
Nah, the decent thing would have involved Seppuku.
Hear, hear.
Mr Kruger writes:
“We are in thrall to a priestly class of professional scientists who, like the druids of old, reveal to the rulers the mysteries of the other world”
Yet back at the start of April 2020 there was enough information readily available from Parliament to prompt the question to my then MP:
“Why is such a damaging course of action necessary? According to the Parliamentary Science and Technology Committee, the UK academic community cannot be trusted to act with integrity [1] which raises concerns over their ability to correct any statements which influence policy and have unnecessary negative consequences on the population.”

I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea what this guy is trying to communicate beyond Wasch mir den Pelz, aber mach mich nicht naß. (German idiom for paying lip services to two mutually contradicting standpoints without really committing to either of them, literally Wash my fur but don’t make it wet).
I can only agree RW.
Fraudulent Excess Covid Deaths Of 2020
latest leaflet to print at home and deliver to neighbours or forward to politicians, media, friends online.
So MPs didn’t talk to each other at all in 2020 and discuss the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset?
We need a law that prevents any government from curtailing the freedom of thr people except for individuals who have committed criminal offences
What a contemptible serf-like twat this man has revealed himself to be.
Presumably, the MP is really his tie and he’s just there for carrying it in and out of the House of Commons.
“Chris Whitty, overruled the advice and “on public health grounds” recommended the vaccination of young teenagers – despite the miniscule risk of Covid for this age group.”
For this alone he should go to prison.
“More such threats are hanging over the U.K.: economic, ecological, military; as well as the expected next pandemic. We need a leaner, more strategic, more capable state, with more responsibility for local decisions devolved to local decision-makers and a more effective system of accountability.”
This quote from the penultimate paragraph is very worrying – especially the “expected next pandemic”. Really? He obviously knows something that we don’t…
Danny Kruger must be congratulated for his honest reflection on the appalling consequences of government incompetence and his role in it. Will he now support Andrew Bridgen’s request for a debate in parliament on excess deaths?
Mr Kruger is good on the failings of the MHRA, and the Media regarding vaccine safety and efficacy and the insistence of injecting Children. But what about the lockstep implementation of all the draconian policies across all first world countries and the influence of the WEF and the WHO?
Our Civil and Human Rights were stripped from us and we were treated like criminals …. over a virus which the Government had already downgraded from a High Consequence Infectious Disease ….. because they had sufficient data to know that it had low mortality rates (and they also knew precisely who was most at risk ….. the very elderly/frail and people with a range of serious co-morbidities).
If I knew that, when (or very shortly after the first lockdown was imposed) why didn’t MPs?
I recall that when the first vote MPs held to approve continuation of the Government’s tyrannical restrictions, only Sir Charles Walker MP spoke up against them ….. telling the privileged, comfortably-off, lazy, cowardly, virtue-signalling lobby fodder that the experience and consequences of the restrictions would be very different for a single mother, living in a high-rise flat with 3 children.
He was ignored.
Kruger’s mea culpa now is far, far too little and far, far too late. I loathe and despise all the MPs who DID NOT DO THEIR JOB; failed to represent their Constituents and are therefore directly responsible for the devastation and millions of lives which were ruined.
I am as angry as everyone else about this whole fiasco, but at least we have one MP who apologises.
We now need the other 649 MPs to do the same and make sure this can never happen again.
Talk is cheap. My parents are both 84 and I wasn’t allowed to see them for two years in a row due to entirely pointless international travel restrictions. Even if Kruger was willing to spend two years in social isolation away from friends and family and would voluntarily refrain from saying anything to anyone which isn’t strictly necessary — something that’s he’s certainly not planning to do — this wouldn’t bring me (or aynone else) these two years back.
If someone slaps you in the face then says “Sorry!”, the sensible reaction is not “No worries!” but slapping him in the face as well and also saying “sorry” afterwards.
“The state was utterly unprepared for the pandemic, and showed itself unable to adapt with the speed and at the scale the crisis demanded.” Er no…. how many times do we have to say this? There was and still is as far as I know a “Pandemic preparedness plan“ which would have been perfectly adequate vis a vis Sweden.
Precisely. The Tyrants ripped up the Plan.
‘I for one, with the benefit of hindsight – though some brave colleagues, and many brave people outside Parliament, were making these points at the time – recognise the mistakes that were made during the pandemic, and I apologise for the role I played in authorising them’.
Not good enough, Mr Kruger. It wasn’t ‘brave people outside parliament’ who downgraded the cvd19 threat in mid March 2020 to the level of seasonal flu. It was the UK government.
Mr Kruger puts the farce, tragedy, sorrow and pity of it all down to human frailty and gullibility. There’s too little role for venality and evil in his analysis. He says it has never been satisfactorily explained why the narrative changed during Lockdown 1. It is perfectly obvious why it changed. The perpetrators of the jab scam opportunistically saw their chance and moved to seize it.
There’s the venality. Now, if you seek illumination of the evil, enter ‘Euromomo’ in your search engine and peruse the national graphs for 2020. You will find yourself wondering why some countries (UK, Netherlands, etc) had massacres in Spring-20, while others (notably Germany – next door to Netherlands) had no excess mortality at all.
The common factor to the high-death nations is bulk pre-ordering of the Executioners drug Midazolam.
Here’s the proof. On 19 March Covid was downgraded. Which means the Scientists had the data and assessed it several weeks previously. They then informed the Government of their findings and agreement to downgrade was approved. That would have taken several weeks.
Then the official Comms and uploading to the website had to be drafted, agreed and implemented. As an ex Civil Servant, I estimate that would have taken at the very least another week, more likely two.
So, I estimate roughly a month BEFORE the downgrading, the Government’s Scientists had decided it was not a High Consequence Infectious Disease.
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/high-consequence-infectious-diseases-hcid#status-of-covid-19
I have posted this more than once – the C1984 was deliberately downgraded from HCID because if it remained as such then ALL potential prophylactics had to remain available. Downgrading allowed for the doing away with Hydroxichloroquine and Ivermectin and provided the EUA with the gateway the so-called “vaccines.”
Yes, I suspect you are right.
Read this series of articles, starting with this one.

The UK government was either utterly stupid or complicit or both in a scheme intended to make money for big pharma and its shareholders out of risky, untested gene therapies.
Indeed the UK parliamentary response of 2020 must not happen again, because the first time should have led to piano wire and lamppost treatments for those responsible for these egregious events.
Mr Kruger, that is a very good summary of what happened. That said, I would have hoped that someone in your position should have been able to see the damage being done and been more proactive about it at the time. However, like many of your peers and indeed people who have achieved higher office, your experience and background is worth very little when grounded common sense is required.
One of the main problems is that you and your type run things of importance and the sooner that changes the better.
Mr Kruger’s apology, and his concentration in the culpability of Parliament for the fiasco, are welcome.
However, he repeats a number of misconceptions that appear to be current amongst Establishment figures. And he fails to ask himself obvious questions.
He says, for example, that “The state was utterly unprepared for the pandemic”. And yet there was a perfectly good plan, written in 2011 and updated since. But the plan was not followed. The question is why.
He notes that media, churches and industry rallied to the State. The question is why they did that.
He notes that the Coronavirus Act was pushed through parliament in a single day. And yet he fails to ask where this huge Act (348 pages long!) came from. Was it really cobbled together in haste in a couple of weeks? I don’t think so.
It seems to me that the State and our institutions, far from being “unprepared”, were overwhelmed by an imperative to follow a response plan that was followed right across the West.
The most likely explanation is that the virus was engineered and escaped from a lab. The response across the West was not a public health driven response. It was the military-driven protocol for responding to a biological warfare attack.
This is why Mr Kruger’s faith in the Covid Enquiry is likely to prove misplaced. The Enquiry was set up to hide the truth, not to discover it.
