Ex CDC Chief: Fauci diary shows Americans misled on COVID

"It is interesting if you read Tony's [Fauci] diaries and his diaries. We didn't know it at the time, but he talks about how he got vaccinated, then later had a pulmonary embolism, which we now know microcoagulation and embolism is a significant injury that's associated with the mRNA vaccines," Redfield said. "So I think the American public was misled in that regard too." He further excoriated narrative pushes around the purpose of the vaccine and the origins of the virus. "This vaccine never prevented infection, so when people said 'vaccinate your children so they don't infect grandma,' that was just a false statement. So very unfortunate," he added. "The American public was definitely misled. [Fauci] definitely had an intentional role, unfortunately, in misleading the American public around the origin of the virus, for sure, around the efficacy of the vaccines, and it's really sad."

"The Cover-Up Has Begun: First They Put Fauci on Trial, Then They Put History on Trial

The goal isn't to prove Anthony Fauci lied. It's to convince Americans that the racist decisions that cost hundreds of thousands of lives were somebody else's fault ...

And these ongoing attacks on Fauci " led by proponents (like Rand Paul) of the discredited, pseudo-science theory that "herd immunity" could have solved the crisis if we only let enough people die from Covid " are part of the effort to whitewash that history.

Here's what really happened that they don't want you to remember:"

Misled, by someone keeping their private health information private?

Okay.
I think the American public was misled by President Trump's Ear Tampon.

Why another thread on this topic already? I have been told Americans don't care about this nothingburger by the President of the Fence Sitters Union of Not Really Concerned Americans.

"This vaccine never prevented infection"

^
This is the part Republicans can't get past.
But do Republicans blame Trump for spending billions, only to deliver a less-than-perfect vaccine?
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I posted quotes from a former Chief of the CDC, you responded with a hit piece from Thom Hartman.

From your opinion piece:

"We were washing our groceries with bleach after picking them up at the store's parking lot from people wearing masks, goggles, and gloves. We bought up all the air filters in the country. We worked from home when we could. We isolated ourselves from other people as much as was humanly possible"

That's just retarded. I don't know anyone who did that. Then he delves off into the refrigerated trucks used as portable morgues in NYC. You do realize that what happens in a city of 8 million people when you shut down every single funeral home, right?

It's retarded, raw emotions.

Like you think that comparison means something?

Dr Fauci is a retired civil servant on Trumpy's enemies list. Trumpers are just trying to rewrite history before they lose power. Again. Most reasonable people can see that. If Congress really wanted answer they would have granted Dr Fauci immunity for his testimony. They are never going to get any answers the way they are proceeding. They are not going to affect the lives of anyone alive now. Except may Dr Fauci.

By contrast Talarico is democrat running for office in an historically red state.

There will naturally be a lot more threads on Talarico. This is current events that may be historical in nature and will affect a lot of people.

And I suspect there will be even more threads on him . Especially if he wins.

As if that would have made a difference. He already has immunity through his pre-emptive pardon - for something he did, we just don't know what the it(s) are.

Dr Fauci is still not safe from Trumpy's revenge and retribution tour. He won't be safe until Trumpy is gone.

The pardon does not cover him for anything after the date of the pardon. The pardon does not shield him from a red states prosecution. You know this yet still you lie.

I would like some answers too. But this Congress is obviously not interested in getting answers.

If Dr Fauci had been granted immunity in exchange for his testimony do you really believe he'd would have had to take the 5th over a hundred times?

He wouldn't tell the truth even if he had immunity you speak of. You really believe that old fart would tell on himself or on anyone else that could make him look bad?

Well... I have to admit, if anyone knows retarded, it's LHT.

Also quite good at selective reading; ignoring Rand's vendetta against Fauci... while Rand himself is a freaking 'herd immunity' for covid moron.

But hey, ya'll have that in common.

One has to wonder if Rand Paul might be in prison now if he'd had his way that nonsense.

-Rand's vendetta

If Rand was going to do anything to the little schitbag, he'd done it several years ago when he had him by the short hairs and then let him go.

The strangest thing about the MAGA freakout over Fauci is that Trump was his boss - and ran the government - during the entire period they are so mad about.

If you couldn't use speculation as argument this sit wouldn't exist.

I am still waiting for "facts" from you.

and ran the government

This is an indicator of some one that doesn't understand how the American government in general works.

Vaccines help your body create antibodies so when you get infected your immune system can handle it better.

Why are Trump supporters so fucking stupid?

#29 | Posted by ClownShack at 2026-07-31 04:48 PM | Reply

vaccines safely train your immune system to make specific antibodies using harmless parts of germs, weakened germs, or genetic blueprints. This process prepares your body to fight real infections without causing severe illness.

For the love of God, learn!

Then why did Biden tell the entire country that if they got vaccinated, they wouldn't get COVID?

He also said they wouldn't transmit COVID to others if they got vaccinated.

Biden was the candidate that was supposed to appeal to moderates.

A white guy that's been in politics since before I was born and promised he wouldn't change anything.

The guy is a conservative from my perspective.

But that was too much for Republicans to accept.

Do moderates exist in the Republican Party any more?

Attacking American cities with ICE. Denying science. Isolating the nation. Ignoring open fraud and corruption by Trump. Completely losing interest in the Epstein files. Supporting a war Trump started for no reason. Ignoring the damage he's caused to DC.

Hey dummy.

I'm not here to defend Biden.

Biden was a weak, worthless candidate in my opinion.

A conservative candidate for republicans to vote for.

Boaz literally posted that he voted for Biden. Whether that's true or not. He wrote that and hit post.

You on the other hand, feel the need to defend everything Trump.

Everything Trump does. Regardless of how bad for our country. You defend.

It's insane.
