Fauci Admits He Knew “Draconian” Lockdowns Would Cause Problems

Every time I think the tiny little goblin king has hit rock bottom in terms of absolute sh*theadedness, he manages to use his feral wee claws to dig even deeper.

So, allow me to present today’s episode of Tony Fauci Is A Monster On Par With War Criminals. We turn to the Atlantic Festival, a rollicking three-day event put on by The Atlantic of journalists doing journalist-y stuff, where Fauci discussed some of his decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic. His hot take this time? “The lockdown was terrible and we knew it was terrible, but my decisions were not terrible and neither am I.”

That’s barely a paraphrase, y’all:

“Of course, when you make recommendations, if the primary goal when you’re dealing with a situation where the hospitals were being overrun in New York, intensive care units were being put in hallways, you have to do something that’s rather draconian. And sometimes when you do draconian things, it has collateral negative consequences, just like when you shut things down, even temporarily, it does have deleterious consequences on the economy, on the schoolchildren. You know that.

But you have to make a balance when you’re dealing with — we know the only way to stop something cold in its track is to try and shut things down. If you shut things down just for the sake of it, that’s bad. But if you do it with the purpose of being able to regroup so that you can then open up in a more safe way, that’s the best way to do it.”

This effing guy. He is almost singlehandedly responsible for the absolute clown show the U.S.’s COVID response ended up being, and he STILL has the audacity to call the suffering of our nation’s children “collateral damage.” Are you for freaking REAL, Tony?! Does he actually not understand what he put people through, or is he just pretending not to so he can still pretend he’s a hero?

The only real way to talk himself out of being an abject villain is to feign ignorance: “Oh, sorry, we didn’t know our lockdown would destroy lives.” But he’s such a narcissist that he can’t even pretend to not know something, even in an attempt to save his own tattered reputation. So instead he pivots to acknowledging that his decisions were terrible, but then saying they still. . . weren’t terrible?

Make it make sense.

Better yet, make this little shart of a human sign an NDA about literally everything that ever happens to, around, or tangentially connected with his existence so we never have to listen to his BS again.
