Many people feel as if the Radical policies of the Left are designed to harm Americans. And it seems that they were right.
Because now, a liberal leader has admitted that policies are made up simply to infringe on rights.
In a startling admission, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), revealed that the widely implemented Covid-era rules of maintaining six feet of “social distancing” and requiring children to wear medical face masks in schools were not based on solid scientific evidence.
This revelation came to light from the transcripts of Dr. Fauci’s closed-door interview with the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in January.
During the interview, Fauci was questioned about the origins of the six-foot social distancing guideline, a measure that significantly impacted businesses, schools, and everyday life across the country.
His inability to pinpoint the source of this recommendation has raised serious questions about the decision-making process during the pandemic.
“It just sort of appeared,” Fauci admitted. “I don’t recall, like, a discussion of whether it should be 5 or 6 or whatever.”
He further acknowledged that he had not seen a scientific study supporting this exact measurement, conceding that proving such a specific distance would be “very difficult.”
This admission underscores a significant flaw in the public health policies that governed much of the pandemic response.
The six-foot rule was enforced with strict adherence in various settings, leading to widespread disruptions and economic impacts.
The arbitrary nature of this guideline has now been laid bare, revealing a lack of scientific rigor behind one of the most pervasive public health directives.
Regarding the recommendation to mask children, Fauci stated that the science behind this practice was still “up in the air.”
When asked if he had reviewed any studies or data supporting the masking of children, Fauci responded, “You know, I might have,” but admitted he did not “recall specifically” doing so.
The transcript revealed that the Majority Counsel pressed Fauci about studies addressing learning loss and speech development issues in young children associated with mask-wearing.
The inability of children to see their teachers’ facial expressions and lip movements, which are crucial for language development, has been a significant concern for parents and educators.
“There have been significant studies on kind of like the learning loss and speech and development issues that have been associated with particularly young children wearing masks while they’re growing up. They can’t see their teacher talk and can’t learn how to form words. Have you followed any of those studies?” the counsel asked.
Fauci’s response was noncommittal: “No. But I believe that there are a lot of conflicting studies too, that there are those that say, yes, there is an impact, and there are those that say there’s not. I still think that’s up in the air.”
This admission is particularly troubling given the widespread implementation of mask mandates for children in schools, a policy that has likely had significant developmental impacts.
The fact that these measures were enforced without robust scientific backing calls into question the overall approach to pandemic management.
Fauci also addressed the issue of vaccine mandates, acknowledging that the enforced vaccination during the pandemic, regardless of natural immunity status, might have contributed to increased vaccine hesitancy.
The admissions by Dr. Fauci raise significant concerns about the foundations of some of the most stringent Covid-19 policies.
The lack of concrete scientific evidence supporting social distancing and masking children, combined with the potential negative impact of vaccine mandates, suggests that many public health directives were implemented without adequate consideration of their broader implications.
The consequences of these decisions will likely be analyzed for years to come, with a focus on ensuring that future responses are based on solid evidence and a thorough understanding of the potential impacts on society.
