Dr. Fauci has announced that he will retire soon — and Cockburn is popping Champagne.
Anthony Fauci, surely the most (in)famous scientist in the United States, has decided to call it quits by the end of Joe Biden’s first (and hopefully last) term. As he departs from his monopoly on mainstream media health consultancy, he’ll pass go and collect a whopping $350,000 per year, the largest federal retirement package in US history.
So cue up the in memoriam reel of everything that made the Fauci regime suck. While churches had to close starting in March 2020, somehow Fauci was OK with Tinder hookups. A year later, he waged a war on Christmas gatherings worse than the Grinch himself.
Fauci went so far as to say, “I don’t think we should ever shake hands ever again, to be honest with you.” How did we ever think this was a normal guy?
Fauci shot himself in the foot as soon as the outbreak hit, lying to the American people, tweeting that masks are “not effective in preventing” Covid-19 (“Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!”). He later recanted, saying he told the public this because he was “concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment, including the N95 masks and the surgical masks, were in very short supply.”
He only increased the nation’s distrust as he was confronted about the NIH’s funding of gain of function research — which is at the root of the Wuhan lab leak theory that Fauci also denied initially.
Cockburn is glad that Fauci is leaving his post. Maybe now the American people can get back to trusting their doctors — as well as shaking hands and celebrating Christmas.
