‘All-knowing\u2019 Tony Fauci\u2019s memory suddenly vanishes when he has to testify<\/a><\/h1>\n

No American has been more revered by the media in the COVID era than Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden\u2019s chief medical adviser and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Since early 2020, TV and print profiles have deluged Fauci with endless adulation, spurring the sale of Fauci votive candles, Fauci bobbleheads and #trustFauci Twitter hashtags. But Wednesday, Fauci\u2019s mind vanished.<\/p>\n

Or at least that\u2019s what he claimed. A federal judge compelled Fauci to answer questions from lawyers suing toreveal the role<\/a> of\u00a0\u201cdozens of federal officials across at least 11 federal agencies \u201c to suppress\u00a0\u201cdisfavored speakers, viewpoints and content on social-media platforms.\u201d That lawsuit is exposing how Biden\u2019s war on disinformation is demolishing Americans\u2019 freedom of speech.<\/p>\n

Fauci was deposed on Wednesday<\/a> by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry. Landry labeled Fauci the\u00a0\u201cman who single-handedly wrecked the US economy based upon \u2018the science, follow the science.\u2019\u201d But \u201cover the course of seven hours, we discovered that he can\u2019t recall practically anything dealing with his COVID response,\u201d\u00a0Landry said.<\/p>\n

So Fauci is\u00a0\u201comniscient except during depositions\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Missouri Attorney General Schmitt said the deposition revealed<\/a>: \u201cWhen Fauci speaks \u2014 social media censors.\u201c The lawsuit will continue to expose federal shenanigans with perhaps the biggest bombshells still to come.<\/p>\n

How many lies did Fauci tell on Wednesday? The transcript has not been released, but a few\u00a0\u201cpants on fire\u201d snippets have come out. After Fauci championed lockdowns to vanquish COVID, top scientists from Oxford, Stanford and Harvard in October 2020 issued the Great Barrington Declaration, which argued that\u00a0\u201cfocused protection\u201d for high-risk groups (such as the elderly) was vastly preferable to shutting down society.<\/p>\n
