Jim Meigs describes the sordid history:
…our public health officials, abetted by a politicized media, manufactured an airtight consensus on both Covid science and policy. This consensus was largely immune to scientific evidence or concerns about the real-world impacts of draconian policies.
But not everyone joined the lockstep march on Covid. Stanford University’s Jay Bhattacharya, along with two other public health experts, issued the Great Barrington Declaration. It sensibly argued that the social costs of extended lockdowns far exceeded their mostly hypothetical benefits. The Great Barrington argument was derided in the press and secretly censored on social media at the behest of government officials.
And no one has been held accountable, even at the polls. At a minimum, Fauci should be indicted for perjury to Congress, though that’s hardly the worst of his sins. But nothing will happen to him until we get an Attorney General who cares about the law and the Constitution.
Fauci’s get out of jail free card is that everything that done was ‘in his opinion’, with consultation and consensus rather than policy.
See the great thing about consensus for someone like Fauci is that not only does it give you cover in a crisis, but that you can create it to you suiting by controlling who gets what in terms of prestige and funding.
Cover and control. The best of both worlds.
Never again. We need review authority that is outside the executive branch of the government. Preferably by blue ribbon panels that are not only independent but temporary and have to be renewed with new members every so many years. Recommendations to be final.
Ask Dr. Richard Ebright his opinion on the cleanliness of Fauci’s hands.
Gain or No Gain?
