Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has recently confessed that some of the most severe COVID-19 rules, including social distancing and child masking, were not based on solid scientific evidence. This shocking revelation came during an extensive interview with the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic earlier this year.
According to a transcript released by Republicans, during the January interviews, Dr. Fauci revealed that the widely enforced “6 feet apart” social distancing guideline was not based on any data but rather seemed to “just appear”. This guideline had significant repercussions, leading to the closure of schools and small businesses nationwide. Ironically, however, Fauci permitted the George Floyd protests and riots to wreak havoc across the country.
SOCIAL DISTANCING: The “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation forced on Americans by federal health officials was arbitrary and not based on science.
Majority Counsel: “Do you recall when discussions regarding, kind of, the at least a 6 foot threshold began?”
Dr. Fauci: “The 6 foot in the school?”
Majority Counsel: “Six foot overall. I mean, 6-foot was applied at businesses—”
Dr. Fauci: “Yeah.”
Majority Counsel: “—it was applied in schools, it was applied here. At least how the messaging was applied was that 6-foot distancing was the distance that needed to be—”
Dr. Fauci: “You know, I don’t recall. It sort of just appeared. I don’t recall, like, a discussion of whether it should be 5 or 6 or whatever. It was just that 6 foot is—”
Majority Counsel: “Did you see any studies that supported 6 feet?”
Dr. Fauci: “I was not aware of studies that in fact, that would be a very difficult study to do.
The controversy extends beyond social distancing as Americans were subjected to strict mask mandates during the pandemic, with penalties imposed on those who did not comply. These mandates covered everyone – from adults entering businesses to children in schools. Now it seems these directives were also issued without a solid foundation in science.
In conclusion, those who questioned every aspect of the COVID pandemic have been proven correct time and again – from lockdown regimes and mask mandates to vaccines and potential treatments. The admission from Dr. Fauci directly contradicts previous statements made under oath, making it clear that there was a massive cover-up from the beginning.
