Summary
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the COVID czar, appeared before the U.S. Senate’s Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, where he took the Fifth 111 times. This comes after Senator Rand Paul released Dr. Fauci’s diary, which portrays him as a “kiss-up, kick-down” kind of guy. Dr. Fauci has been criticized for his role in imposing COVID lockdowns, which a meta-analysis by Steve Hanke and others found to have had a tiny impact on COVID mortality. The analysis, published in two peer-reviewed publications, concluded that lockdowns were a major public policy blunder.
Our Reading
The numbers tell one story. Dr. Fauci’s diary reveals a “kiss-up, kick-down” approach. The COVID czar took the Fifth 111 times during the Senate hearing. Steve Hanke’s meta-analysis found lockdowns had a tiny impact on COVID mortality. The Big Players in the government-sponsored public health industrial complex responded with censorship and fact-checking. Dr. Fauci’s actions lead to the “End of Truth,” as analyzed by Nobelist Friedrich Hayek.
Dr. Fauci’s silence speaks louder than words.
