A career bureaucrat is what he was, and he was more wrong than right, and when he was proven wrong, refused to admit it, he also was the guy rules for you, but not for me

[jordanturner]

Came for the comments. Was not disappointed.

[nealm]

What great journalism on display here. Fawning propaganda and refusal to give coverage to all the abuses he has perpetrated that are coming to light.

[GD-tnez]

He’s a doctor like Kamala Harris is intelligent 😂

[GelPrint-FL]

He is now messing with the bird flu gain of function.

[swhip]

He.i

He's a liar. Why listen to a liar?

[spiritseeker]

this guy doubles down and writes a book when he is culpable for mass death

[alicemattsen]

I have no respect for news stations that make a killer sound like a nice person. How repulsive 🤮

[seanmurphy]

Five decades of committing crimes against humanity. We're all beagles to him.

[WhyHandleYouTube]

Life time of mediocrity, narcissism, pandering and lies.

His approach lacked a scientific basis and did not save lives. This is evident from the fact that African countries which did not strictly adhere to Covid mandates had lower death rates compared to the US, China, and Italy, which even enforced total lockdowns as recommended by Fauci and WHO. The higher mortality rates in the West, as opposed to Africa, can be attributed to the heightened stress levels imposed on their populations. It is widely known that stress weakens the immune system, essential for combating the virus. African nations, by experiencing less stress compared to the West during the Covid pandemic, were able to survive with lower impact.

Kevorkian of this generation
He just admitted that he made up the distancing
Why are you trumpeting his murders

[lawrence]

Lab Leak....from the lab he sponsored.

[lawrence]

[garciaandres]

Life of public service. Meanwhile makes millions of dollars on a public servant salary.

[DannyDeath-ctmz]

he is owned by the little hat tribe, just like this here network, the CDC, WHO, etc. go ahead and look up ethnicities of the board members and CEO's

Fauci Feb 2020: Masks provide the illusion of safety.
Fauci April 2020: Masks stop the virus.
What a clown.

I'm sure he leaves out the part where his research team created the AIDs virus before it escaped the lab.
