Anthony Fauci's private diary and emails show he knew lockdowns failed

Hard to be more dishonest than that.

More emails showed NIH employees working to get Fauci paid awards for his "work." He catalogued media interviews, which ranged from joyful celebration of his work to vomit-inducing fan service.

And why was the media so bad? Not just because of their obvious political ideology, but because they were friends with him.

There are multiple emails and diary entries from Fauci discussing his dinner plans with CNN's Jake Tapper. Fauci goes so far as to call it building a "friendship." No wonder, then, that CNN and Tapper's coverage of Fauci bordered on reverential worship instead of, as the capital J Journalists like to pretend, speaking truth to power or holding those in charge accountable.

I reached out to Jake Tapper's public relations representative at CNN to ask whether their dinner plans involved removing their masks only to take bites of food, or if their "friendship" impacted his coverage. They declined to comment.

None of this comes as much of a surprise to those who have been following Fauci and the story of Covid since early 2020. This is exactly who he was. A dishonest, narcissistic, egomaniacal, arrogant person who frequently made policy recommendations and proposals without considering or even knowing the evidence behind them. Someone who the media treated with reverence instead of demanding accountability or even asking difficult questions.

He was obsessed with his image and fame, wanted public recognition, and salivated at the thought of paid awards for his "success."

He misled the public for years about lockdowns, the lab leak, and his political ideology. And he got away with all of it, thanks to the protection of his friends in the media and Joe Biden.

His critics knew all of it. And now we have proof that we were right.
