Fauci Admits His COVID Mandates Were Based On China's Draconian Measures, Not Science

[Harpy Eagle]

Well....considering the fact that we have caught them lying to us in the past....trusting them now or in the future is foolish, don't you think?

The GWP has been caught lying in the past yet you trust them as if they were the voice of God....seems rather foolish, don't ya think?

 

[Darkwind]

Then you must legitimately eliminate every court in the US to the Supreme Court.

Knock yourself out.

Just don't demand from others something you will not accept if you don't get the answer you want.

 

[Polishprince]

What did you expect? Doc Fauci is an obvious Quack who doesn't have the medical brains to place a bandaid on a patient around these parts. Spokesman for a doofus like Sleepy Joe seems like the ideal position for him.

 

[Lesh]

This is from someone who likes to think they are an expert on contagious diseases.

You do as I said. You isolate the sick. In the case of coronavirus, we KNEW from the beginning that the virus was lethal to a specific segment of society and that the rest of society could weather the pandemic.

Isolate the sick, protect the most vulnerable, and work for treatment. Not a vaccine, but a treatment.

The current situation and hindsight prove Me right.

"Isolate the sick" huh?

And the fact that "the sick" can't be identified when asymptomatic spread is rampant means nothing to you? That very fact makes your entire point moot.

"protect the vulnerable"?

Since "the vulnerable" are not a self contained group and require outside help to exist in terms of food, medical care, and virtually everything and that help is by definition filled with asymptomatic covid carriers...that is also moot

"Not a vaccine" is just plain stupid. Both treatment AND vaccine are what's needed

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Birx already publiy admitted all of her and Fauci's quarantine, lockdown, mask and other mandates were made up, not based on science.

Now Fauci has admitted his were based on the draconian measures the Chinese were using, not on science.

You clearly have bought into the propaganda.

If the problem was those not showing the signs of infection, then the correct path would have been to shut everything down.

I mean everything. No trains. No buses. No nursing staff. No doctors. No supermarkets. No shipping ports.

A soldier on every street corner and people were forced into their homes. Not one business is open, anywhere. Not one government office is open, anywhere.

Only the military is on the streets, forcing people into their homes, including the cops.

The country needed to be stopped, 110% for 15 days.

Then, those without symptoms, and those with symptoms, would be free of the virus.

Then it would be over.

 

[Polishprince]

Why didn't Fauci and Sleepy Joe go to our allies in great nations like Chad, Niger, Benin and Burundi, and find out what they did to limit deaths due to coronavirus in their realms?

That would have actually made sense.

Correct as far that goes. But even you know that was not a possibility. That would have

A. Caused mass deaths in nursing homes and hospitals

B. Totally destroyed the economy such that it would take decades to recover if that was even possible

Of course you know that...it's just "something to say" so....

Yet, the fucked up way that the left did it, we have:

Caused massive deaths in nursing homes.
Totally destroyed the economy and it will be a decade or more to rebound, and
Prolonged the problem out to at least 3 years instead of 15 days.

In the past, isolating those exposed and the sick, and safeguarding the vulnerable was a highly effective means of control.

It wasn't Trump's handling of the pandemic that was the problem. It was ALL of the government's mismanagement of the pandemic, including those playing politics with Constitutionally protected rights.

 

[easyt65]

Shocking

Not really

He helped fu d tbe GoF testing in the Wuhan lab, a lab that had been flagged as having several flaws that needed correcting to prevent a future leak.

He lied / committed perjury on multiple occassions.

He protected China while protecting his own ass.

 

[SweetSue92]

Well, give the Gateway Pundit this: They can twist and pervert pretty much anything into pretty much anything.

And, of course, they know the rubes will buy it. And run with it.

Right there, in his comments: "...from a clinical public health standpoint..."

But, cults just gotta cult. Don't think. Don't question. Don't reason. Just emote.

Which Covid mandates were effective without exacting a huge cost?

Oh. I know.

--Stay home when you're sick
--Cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough
--Wash your hands

GOSH! No one ever heard that before. But instead, we closed businesses, schools and churches; canceled weddings and funerals; and made people in hospitals DIE ALONE.

Lockdowns--FAIL

Masks--FAIL

Vaccines--FAIL

 

[pknopp]

We never should have re-funded Fauci. Why does no one ever ask why we did that?

In the past… we didn’t have

A society this advanced and fluid

Asymptomatic spread

Your solution would have caused far worse death and economic destruction

And it wasn’t “the left” that was responsible for our mitigation response. It was broadly bi-partisan so…

First, I saw who wrote the OP. Then I saw the source that was used. That's when I knew the thread was just more horseshit.

“Before any of the depositions may go forward, the district court must analyze whether the information sought can be obtained through less intrusive, alternative means, such as further written discovery or depositions of lower-ranking officials,” the appeals court declared in a five-page, unanimous order issued by Judges Edith Clement, Leslie Southwick and Stephen Higginson. “It is not enough, as the district court found, that these officials may have ‘personal knowledge’ about certain communications. That knowledge may be shared widely or have only marginal importance in comparison to the ‘potential burden’ imposed on the deponent.”

The appeals court also said U.S. District Court Judge Terry Doughty, who sits in Monroe, La., should consider ruling on the overall viability of the lawsuit before allowing the disputed depositions. The tone of the 5th Circuit decision exhibited some skepticism about the legal theory behind the case.

Asymptomatic spread was GROSSLY overstated, you realize. As the Moral Panic clears, I suspect we'll find out more and more just HOW overblown.

Never before in Human history did we LOCK DOWN and quarantine HEALTHY people and shut down SOCIETY over ANY disease, or in this case, a mild respiratory virus!
Logic and reason have been tossed for totalitarian BULLSHIT all for power and control.

Overstated? Hardly. Especially when talking about the elderly

When did we deal with a pandemic on this scale before?
