Flip-flopping Fauci’s ridiculous idea of masking children proves he’s completely lost touch with reality

At a time when the US urgently needs a trusted voice of authority in the fight against Covid, it has instead received a smooth-talking snake oil salesman hawking politically tainted advice to an unsuspecting public.
Despite my best efforts to resist such sentiments, there is something bizarrely likeable about Anthony Stephen Fauci, 80, who serves as the chief medical adviser to the US president. And judging by his amazing staying power, millions of other Americans seem to feel the very same way.
Fauci comes off as the charismatic uncle who’s always the center of attention at the dinner table with stories so fantastic that you want to believe they are true. It’s that sort of mesmeric charm that could explain why this man has been so successful at sweet-talking America into medically-induced bondage for the next year, or decade, or maybe even forever? Who knows? Certainly not Anthony Fauci, that’s for sure – the man who has turned flip-floppiness into a veritable field of science.
For example, who else but Washington’s famous Covid guru could have convinced Americans, already at their wits’ end over lockdowns, social distancing and an infernal mask regime, to roll up their sleeves for a vaccine, while also telling them it will do nothing to free them from lockdowns, social distancing and the infernal mask regime? To be perfectly blunt, selling that ‘used car’ to the public would require some superhuman bulls**tting abilities, with which Fauci seems to be inordinately endowed.
“I would recommend to people to not to abandon all public health measures just because you’ve been vaccinated,” Fauci told CNN with a perfectly straight face. “Because even though for the general population it might be 90 to 95 percent effective, you don’t necessarily know for you how effective it is.”
Dr Fauci telling Americans masks would not help when pandemic was starting—as opposed to saying wear a face covering and leave N95 masks for healthcare professionals that need them (as most now do)—was an enormous mistake and we are paying for it. pic.twitter.com/2g795cR4qd

America just shrugged its weary shoulders, unquestioningly accepting the gibberish as gospel because it came out of the mouth of Anthony Fauci. There was one person, however, who was not fooled by the silver-tongued fox, and that was US Senator Rand Paul. In an epic exchange during a Senate hearing on Covid, Paul, himself a medical doctor, told Fauci that continuing to wear a mask after infection or vaccination was mere “theater.”
