This is a headline at National Review today: “Fauci: Covid Restrictions Should Have Been ‘Much, Much More Stringent’“
What is wrong with this man and his acolytes? None of their restrictions, none of their imprisonments, made the slightest difference in the transmission of the virus that they paid to have created; and so he thinks we should have been more draconian?
Such weak thinking should disqualify him from employment.
What we ought to have done was nothing special. Treat sick people, keep them at home, protect those at highest risk for exposure to respiratory viruses.
Sheesh.

That’s exactly the unfair part. What if they were going to repent etc, but Fauci didn’t give them the chance?
The people at the top who issue the lockdown and quarantine orders are certain that their lives will be mostly unaffected. They are happy to require millions of businesses to close, and people to lose their livelihoods, while they work from their comfy home offices in government which keeps on going regardless. This is, and has always been, evil.
Did he state a purpose for his recommendations? A political administrator would need to know that before balancing such an action against other recommendations. In no case should a health officer have the final say.
JFC you never quit singing from the same songbook do you? lol
Fauci is right to say that the lockdowns, for example, were not strict enough. The way they were done in the US defeated the whole purpose of a lockdown. There was no point in even doing lockdowns because of the way they were done.
But he is wrong to think that it was ever possible to be that strict in a democratic country like the US. I think that they knew that a real lockdown that could be effective wasn’t possible, but they recommended lockdowns anyway. The result was that people’s lives were damaged and destroyed for no good reason.
Because they had to Do Something.
A lockdown should only occur if the reason for it is due to a deadly disease that has no remedy, and that will kill upwards of at least 3.2% of the cases of those who are infected.
We only arrived at lockdowns because of the Imperial College in the UK allowing their already discredited N Ferguson to state a reliable computer model had demonstrated that this infection would result in 3.2% fatality rate. (Historical record: Although Ferguson was quite hated once it was realized that his earlier computer model – a model that led to the cattle in the UK being put down due to the possibility of a serious disease – was faulty. Once the public found out that situation was exaggerated, Ferguson’s career should have been toast. However the fact that one Bill Gates donated enough bundles of money to Imperial College actually cancelled out Ferguson’s past bad decisions.)
By the time the public realized that this whole model was erroneous, Fauci and the Other Masters of Deception and Death had managed to rachet up the fatality rate in NYC by not only denying those COVID patients who had been hospitalized the real remedies of HCQ plus zinc and/or ivermectin. Rather than saving the patients, the hospital admins saw to it that they were injected with IV’s of rocephin, remdesivir, fentanyl and the anesthetics needed to intubate these patients. The practice of doing this did not abate, even when it became obvious intubation had a survival rate of under 10%
One thing the lockdowns did achieve was that with people forced to abandon their employment and their social lives, many folks spent lots of time ingesting the propaganda spewed out over all the airwaves 24/7. Their brains became entrained with the notion that there was a rise in the COVID fatality count and when that tapered off, the networks still hammered away at how there was still an uptick in COVID positive test cases. (Although the tests for COVID were so faulty even the CDC stated that perhaps as few as 6% of all record COVID deaths were really deaths “from COVID” as opposed to deaths “with COVID”)
The TV watching produced a phenomena known as Mass Psychotic Formation and it is with us still.
Are you serious?
The people of Australia, NZ, HKG, and China might disagree with you.
It could be argued that Fauci never got anything right.
