Here we go again.
First, Anthony Fauci pokes his head up to claim, against all evidence, that masks do stop COVID-19 after all.
Then, right on cue, the White House announces that Fauci’s No. 1 fan, President Biden, will be “masking indoors” after the double-vaccinated, twice-boosted first lady contracted the virus for the third time in 13 months.
Then Whoopi Goldberg, who once declared she was “boosted within an inch of your life,” goes missing from “The View” with her third bout of COVID.
“As you can see, Whoopi is not here,” co-host Joy Behar said Tuesday.
“She has COVID. It’s back! It’s back!”
Co-host Ana Navarro exclaimed to the live audience: “Clap if you had your third booster!”
The ladies were fairly giddy with excitement over the imminent return of the “plague.”
Hasn’t learned a thing
For all their moaning, there’s a certain type of sanctimonious hypochondriac who enjoyed the pandemic more than they will admit and secretly can’t wait to slap on a mask to show their selfless concern for others.
To them, Anthony Fauci was a saint, whose every word was their command, and just when we thought we’d seen the back of him, he’s back on our TV screens to gaslight us all again.
At the height of the pandemic, Joe Biden was so enamored of Fauci’s infallible advice that he would “jokingly direct” him to sit in the vice president’s chair, according to a new book by Franklin Foer.
More fool him, but Fauci should know better, being an expert and all.
Sadly, the diminutive health bureaucrat’s CNN interview over the weekend shows he hasn’t learned a thing after almost three years of flawed advice, which included exhorting people to double-mask.
It was a textbook case of sneaky Fauci beclowning himself again.
“There’s no doubt that masks work,” said Fauci.
“I am concerned that people will not abide by recommendations” of the CDC on masking, he said.
CNN host Michael Smerconish politely pointed out that masks actually don’t work, citing an authoritative Cochrane review, published in January, of 78 high-quality scientific studies, with more than 610,000 participants, that concluded masks were useless in stopping transmission of the virus.
