the last time tony fauci was pushing masks for disease mitigation
he was making up his facts and scare mongering too
many of you are probably too young to remember the AIDS panic of the 80’s.
but when it came out, the NIH, with tony fauci leading the charge, was getting literally everything wrong.
they pushed a narrative of fear, vilified the infected, interfered with the development and adoption of effective treatments, and completely misrepresented spread and mitigation.
it’s how we wound up with absolute garbage like this ad.
it’s probably pretty jarring to see, but this is because you now have perspective. at the time, A LOT of people believed this. fear of getting AIDS from public toilet seats was a very real thing. fear of getting AIDS from casual contact or sharing dining or cooking facilities was a very real thing. people worried they might be sitting near a gay person on a bus. the “moral majority” of dingbat tele-evangelists thundered about it daily.
and then, as now, one jumped up bureaucrat with no idea what he was talking about was running around like chicken little screaming of falling skies and grandstanding about non-existent risks to children.
the fact that it was literally the same guy who is still at it should deeply embarrass us all.
i urge you to watch the video and hear him, in his own words. because this is who tony fauci was, and he has not gotten better. he’s just become more powerful and more nastily manipulative and narcissistic.
the appalling inaccuracy and vicious othering of the AIDS campaign is still his bread and butter play. it’s what tony does. only the scale and scope of power have changed.
one day, 20 years from now, people will look back on these rushed and slipshod vaccine approvals and mandates for products that are not at all suited to task and claims about masks and lockdowns and feel sick to their stomachs.
they will not be able to believe how such pseudoscience and rapacious world wrecking doctrine not only got foisted upon the world, but accepted and cheer led by it.
they will, in the light of perspective, marvel that the same man who convinced us that our kids would get AIDS from being near a gay teacher was allowed to generate pretext to close the schools to “protect” children from a disease that poses them almost no risk, a disease they do not contract nor spread serious cases of.
they will be appalled by the suggestion that a non-sterilizing vaccine was forced on them even after the fact that the vaccines does not mitigate spread was known and despite a towering and dangerous adverse events profile that rendered it a clearly negative benefit to cost proposition to the young and healthy.
in short, they’ll feel just like you probably did looking at that AIDS ad.
think very carefully about just who you are choosing to trust here.
these “experts” do not have track records of being correct or even of being honest.
check the date on this:
they told you not only that these vaccines would stop spread, but that they literally changed the definition of “herd immunity” so that it could ONLY be achieved by vaccines.
then the vaccines failed to stop spread, likely made it worse, and they doubled down on “you need to get vaxxed” in spite of this, pivoting to this bizarre new take of “you need to get vaxxed to save hospital space” which, of course, is ALSO not working.
now they want boosters. soon it will be “variant boosters.” if you don’t think annual covid shots are coming, you probably fell for the “did you know the word gullible is not in the dictionary?” trick. twice.
this is not “changing your views when new facts arise” this is “finding new justifications for doing the same thing despite the facts being 180 degrees opposite to what you claimed.”
this is not science, it’s scientology.
it’s the same people making the same mess.
isn’t it about time we broke this cycle?
food for thought.
When I heard that Fauci had been in his position, or one like it, for 40 years, I told people, "Don't trust him. You don't survive that many administrations as a bureaucrat if you have anything remotely resembling integrity." It's one of my sadder and more tragic "I-told-you-sos."
Unfortunately and the truth, is that most people are dumb. It was that way from the beginning and it will be that way to the end. Those with the ability to reason and apply logic saw through this from the beginning. The blind masses are still banning their children from coming for Chistmas, even though they are double vaxxed with the booster, because their kids put them at "risk". Did I say dumb? Let me also add selfish and evil to that.
This ends badly for a large chunk of people who will develop autoimmune issues, a lot leading to death. It is happening now and it seems to be progressive. Even with that the lie will continue. I've always thought we are going through a Darwinian selection event. Perhaps it is right that those who jab themselves and their children are not fit with the necessary skepticism to live in a potentially totalitarian world that technology is pushing towards. Their non-resistance will doom the rest of us. Perhaps Fauci and the jabs were inevitable in one form or the other and it's time that the dumb, who are have genetics that make them immediately trusting of centralized authority, need to leave the island. That's a bad adaptation to have in the coming world. Just thinking out loud here.
