A little history on the hypocrisy of the infallible Dr. Fauci

RUSH: Well, let’s go to back, shall we? Here is Dr. Fauci January 21st, 2020, a year ago. He’s on Newsmax TV’s Greg Kelly Reports. Greg Kelly’s question to Dr. Fauci, “Bottom line, we don’t have to worry about this coronavirus, right?”

FAUCI: Obviously you need to take it seriously and do the kinds of things that the CDC and the Department of Homeland Security are doing, but this is not a major threat for the people of the United States, and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.

And let’s jump forward to March, March the 8th 2020 on 60 Minutes, the chief medical correspondent, Dr. Jon Lapook interviewed Dr. Fauci, asked him, “There’s a lot of confusion around people and misinformation surrounding face masks. Can you discuss that, Dr. Fauci?”

FAUCI: The masks are important for someone who’s infected to prevent them from infecting someone else. Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.

LAPOOK: You’re sure of it? ‘Cause people are listening really closely to this.

FAUCI: There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet. But it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And often there are unintended consequences. People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.

RUSH: Now where are we? We have a mandated national mask policy if you’re on federal property, except if you’re Biden you don’t have to wear the mask when you’re celebrating at the Lincoln Memorial, but everybody else has to have it.

But back in March in infallible Dr. Fauci, nah, you don’t need to wear it. It’s just giving you a false sense of security. Now, my friends, I want you to know I am on the outside guardrails of protection here because criticizing Dr. Fauci is close to criticizing Biden. You’re not supposed to do that. I’ve gotten very, very close to this by pointing out this hypocrisy.
