Media favorite Dr. Anthony Fauci has been placed on a shelf and may soon be the newest “has been” formerly on Donald Trump’s COVID-fighting team. The new medical expert is Dr. Scott Atlas, the former Chief of Neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center.
According to former congressman and former medical doctor Ron Paul, Fauci has been anything but an ”expert” in the war against COVID-19. After declaring early in the fight against the disease that all would never be able to shake hands again, he proceeded to state that masks were not needed followed soon after by insisting that masks were necessary even if only to be a symbol. He then urged using goggles, staying at home, shutting the doors of churches, and closing down a thriving economy. Sadly, many of the steps he has recommended have been adopted.
But, even more, it’s Fauci’s history that should have prevented him from being the nation’s chief advice dispenser to combat COVID. When the H1N1 Swine Flu hit the United States in 2009, Fauci urged everyone to get vaccinated. That advice, acted upon by many here in the United States, led to other countries treating healthy people as advised by the customarily reliable American authorities. Here and elsewhere, this resulted in miscarriages, adolescent narcolepsy, and febrile convulsions. Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson did some heavy digging at the time, and she found not only evidence of the serious side effects of the vaccine, but also discovered that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) had been fudging the numbers of people supposedly suffering from H1N1. She concluded that the Swine Flu pandemic was a hoax.
CBS News website enthusiastically published what Attkinson had discovered but only for a time. Reliance on her findings was soon terminated by CBS higher-ups and consigned to a memory hole. The CDC continued to frighten Americans into getting vaccinated with claims that 14-34 million U.S. residents had already contracted the fearsome flu. But what the American people were hearing from the media and the CDC wasn’t even close to the truth. It was correctly labeled an utter lie. Yet, Anthony Fauci kept promoting the Swine Flu vaccine.
Fauci has lately been singing the praises of a yet-to-be manufactured vaccination claimed to be able to counter the current pandemic. He now leads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and has teamed up with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This is the chief money spigot promoting compulsory vaccinations, and even implanting digital IDs and related vaccine/immunity tracking that will enable the authorities to have knowledge of all the activity of anyone who allows implantation of the tiny device being touted. Simultaneously, Big Pharma is racing to produce a COVID vaccine, even if its ability to ward off the current pandemic hasn’t gone through the normally required testing process.
If Fauci is forced to become a relic of the past, then whoever President Trump’s names as a successor will become very important. It seems that his choice will be the aforementioned Dr. Atlas. About the COVID, the Stanford doctor addressed it as far back as April 2020 when its ravages were already raising great alarm. In his essay published by The Hill, the Stanford doctor cautioned against isolating the public, claimed locking down the economy would be severely counter-productive, and urged that schools stay open. In July, current CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield seconded some of those same recommendations and even claimed that lockdowns were killing more Americans than COVID was claiming. That surely counters the message created by Fauci.
Along with Ron Paul and numerous others, we hope that Dr. Atlas will not change his thinking about how to deal with COVID-19. With Fauci demoted and no longer the top leader of nation’s campaign against the pandemic, there’s a good chance that Dr. Atlas will reverse some of the current requirements and oppose making a COVID vaccine mandatory as desired by Gates and others.
