Fauci admits social distancing wasn’t scientific and the Wuhan lab leak wasn’t a conspiracy theory

Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci just finished up his second day of closed-door testimony before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chaired by Ohio Republican Brad Wenstrup. These are the highlights.

– Dr. Fauci claimed that the “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials was likely not based on any data. He characterized the development of the guidance by stating, “It sort of just appeared.”

Well, no, it didn’t “sort of appear.” In March 2021, I documented the genesis of the social distancing bullsh** and how no one believed it.

TL:DR version. It was based on a high school science project by the daughter of a scientist at Sandia National Laboratory. Like the rest of the measures used during the Covid panic, the primary purpose was controlling people, not keeping them safe.

– Dr. Fauci acknowledged that the lab leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory. This comes nearly four years after prompting the publication of the now infamous “Proximal Origin” paper that attempted to vilify and disprove the lab leak hypothesis.

This marks a significant walk-back from his previous position and soliciting a paper to disprove the lab leak hypothesis.

Dr. Fauci knew that the six-feet distancing rule wasn’t based on any data why would he give the impression that is was? And if Fauci’s stance on this issue isn’t scientific, on what basis should we trust that his stance on the vaccines is?
