Dr. Atlas Talks About Fauci, Dr. Birk, et al.
Tucker Carlson talked with him about working with the COVID task force.
I have never worked with people at this level in my career, and I’m not saying at a high level, I’m saying at a low level … I’m not sure these people could have been assistant professors where I worked.
I’ve noticed this on a more lay level about Fauci. He’s a politician not a scientist. In my own sideline as a historian about GPS, I’ve read and heard lots of nonsense from eminent people. I reviewed in 2018 a documentary about the origins of GPS. When I posted it on Amazon, it had about a dozen reviews all of which gave it five stars. I gave it two stars.
The lack of critical thinking by our supposed experts is scary.

Thank goodness we always have Twitter to fall back on.
Fauci is a lifelong bureaucrat who’s suddenly thrust into the spotlight and having the time of his life. He’s on the cover of magazines, in demand for interviews, being lionized in the press. And he’s gettin’ a little too big for his britches. Which isn’t hard since he buys them in the little boy department
How dare you imply that bozo the fauci is incompetent!
Not quite your ordinary lifelong bureaucrat, being surely one of the oldest and definitely the most highly paid—$417, 608 in 2019 according to Forbes. In addition, this is the second time he has made infamously wretched decisions costing tens of thousands of lives. He was responsible for keeping low cost, effective medicines from HIV positive patients while he pushed AZT. Sound familiar? Then there is his support of gain-of-function research. Nope. Nothing ordinary about this man, and there have to be people who want him right where he is or he would have been sacked decades ago. https://redstate.com/michael_thau/2020/10/13/renowned-yale-scientist-fauci-knowingly-caused-100s-of-1000s-to-die-to-benefit-forces-hes-in-bed-with-what-will-it-take-for-someone-to-investigate-n262269
Wow I didn’t even know about the HIV thing. I do, however, know about the puppies. I agree with Redstate – What will it take to have this Dr. Mengele investigated?
Good question, because the more you look, the worse it gets. https://www.worldtribune.com/flashback-faucis-nih-funded-experiments-on-aids-orphans-in-new-york-city/
Good GRIEF!
Fauci is a career criminal. Dr. Robert Malone said his eyes were really opened to the jaw dropping corruption when he read Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new book The Real Anthony Fauci.
Do you have a source on this? What medicine are you claiming would be highly active anti-retroviral therapy?
I think it’s the hiring and promotion system in federal employment.
In my USAF career I worked at the headquarters of that part of the Air Force. I was an electrical engineer with a BSEE degree, as were all my military contemporaries. But the civilian employees who earned large salaries and sometimes had elevated positions in the hierarchy often did not have an appropriate degree, or were simply not very good at what they did. I believe the GS system has ways you can inflate your credentials and end up in a job you are not fully qualified to do. And once you are in a GS job, you’re in for life.
@omegapaladin The medication is Bactrim. From an interview by Mark Levin with Professor Harvey Risch of Yale:
The FDA is a very strange organization that has a history of not making science-based, rational-based decisions about its approvals. This was started, most noticeably, in 1987, when people with AIDS in New York City were dying of what is called pneumocystis pneumonia — PCP. And, the clinical experience then had been amassed, a large number of cases who were prevented from dying by use of the antibiotic Bactrim. This is, even then, was a generic medication and cheap. And activists obtained a meeting with Dr. Fauci and 15 of his selected scientists at FDA, at NIH, and asked Dr. Fauci just to make guidelines to physicians that they consider using Bactrim to treat preventively AIDS people so that they wouldn’t die of this pneumonia. Dr. Fauci refused. He said, “I want randomized controlled, blinded controlled trial evidence. That’s my gold-standard, that or nothing.” The activists left, the NIH did not fund any randomized trials.
A quick look shows that Bactrim or its generic form are now standard therapy for P. carinii, including preventative treatment for those at risk. Fauci was wrong there, dead wrong.
That’s separate from AZT, since AZT fights the virus directly, while Bactrim treats the fungal infection that kicks the person while they are down.
Yes, and as I understand it, AZT is extremely toxic and in itself caused a lot of deaths, especially while Bactrim was unavailable. Fauci also committed a lot of time and money to a search for a vaccine at that time, and again the parallels with our current situation are striking. Then there are the old charges that HIV was a bio weapon and Luc Montagnier’s assertion last year that SARS-Cov-2 contains pieces of HIV, and that he thought the Wuhan researchers were probably trying to produce an HIV vaccine. I’m not even vaguely qualified to judge these matters, but one can’t help noting that Fauci keeps popping up in parallel ways.

If only Trump used someone like Dr Jay Bhattacharya to counter Fauci – how much better off we would have been
I now operate under the assumption that every “novel” virus they discover was engineered in a lab.
