How Fauci Became Science

From my own personal COVID-era hero, Jay Battacharya:

Anthony Fauci, the Man Who Thought He Was Science

...

In 1983, in response to a case report of an infant with AIDS published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, Fauci told the press that AIDS might be spread by routine household contact. There was no good evidence then and is none now to suggest that HIV is transmitted that way. But Fauci's statement, prominently echoed in the media, panicked the American people, almost certainly leading many to physically shun AIDS patients out of an unfounded fear of catching the disease.

Fauci does not address this incident, so one is left to speculate about why he was attracted to this theory. One possibility is that there was little political support for government spending on AIDS when the public thought it only affected gay men. As the public came to understand AIDS impacted broader populations, such as hemophiliacs and IV drug users, public support for funding HIV research expanded.

Lying during a crisis to get what he wanted worked so well during AIDS that Fauci decided to make a career of it.

Like many other charlatans and power-seekers, he used the War on Terror to expand his power and purview:

In the early days of the war on terror, Fauci became head of civilian biodefense, with the mandate to develop and stockpile countermeasures to biowarfare agents. This appointment made Fauci one of the most well-paid and powerful figures in the U.S. government. Fauci leveraged his deep knowledge of the federal bureaucracy, streamlining federal contracting rules to issue "sole source contracts" and "rapid research grants" to create constituencies of companies and scientists who depended on Fauci for their success.

He had an interesting take on the avian flu: We should make it more easy to transmit to humans -- we should turn it into a bioweapon -- so that we can then study the bioweapon we just created.

At this point, virologists persuaded Fauci's NIAID to support dangerous scientific lab experiments designed to make the avian flu virus more easily transmissible among humans.

In 2011, NIAID-funded scientists in Wisconsin and the Netherlands succeeded. They published their results in a prestigious scientific journal, so that anyone with the knowledge and resources could replicate their steps. They effectively weaponized the avian flu virus and shared the recipe with the world, with Fauci and his agency in full support.

Is the picture becoming clearer? When it was put to him he was cooking up potentially world-ending bioweapons, he sniffed that it was worth the risks of accidentally unleashing a Killer Bug upon the world:

Fauci, writing to molecular biologists in 2012, downplayed the possibility that laboratory workers or scientists studying these dangerous pathogens might cause the pandemic they were working to prevent. He also argued that the risk of such an accident was worth it: "In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic? Many ask reasonable questions: given the possibility of such a scenario--however remote--should the initial experiments have been performed and or published in the first place, and what were the processes involved in this decision? Scientists working in this field might say--as indeed I have said--that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks. It is more likely that a pandemic would occur in nature, and the need to stay ahead of such a threat is a primary reason for performing an experiment that might appear to be risky."

He knows he funded and unleashed covid on the world-- and you can see why he's so addicted to the Dangerous Misinformation "natural origin" cover story.

He's a mass murderer on a scale undreamed of by Hitler.

But that's not all ...
