The Small Print That Destroyed America

In a maddening interview yesterday, Anthony Fauci performed his usual song and dance when faced with even the most mild questioning. He stonewalled in his trademark way, speaking in long, drawn-out sentences, emphasizing the word consonants, punctuated by pauses and silences that convey the sense of precision without the reality.

  • Several messages stands out: In retrospect, we should have locked down even more, he never pushed lockdowns, he was only passing on CDC guidance, and he is utterly and completely blameless for all things, particularly in funding gain-of-function research.

They are here reproduced in graphic form:

  • The only part that truly matters is the section with a black background with white print
  • Fauci knew this fine print was there
  • He might have been the one to make sure it was there and that it was too small for Trump to read
  • Trump makes clear in the press conference that he did not know about the fine print and did not even acknowledge its existence

What does the fine print say?

  • Lockdown
  • School operations can accelerate the spread of coronavirus
  • Governors of states with evidence of community transmission should close schools in affected and surrounding areas
  • All states should follow Federal guidance and halt social visits to nursing homes and retirement and long-term care facilities
  • Bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other indoor and outdoor venues where groups of people congregate should be closed

Sweden never closed schools and not a single death resulted.

  • In the United States, kids were denied education and likely traumatized for life.
  • The ban on all gatherings-sports, weddings, funerals, gyms, malls-and completely wrecking all enterprise is an edict worthy of history's most horrible despots.

Who to blame?

  • Anthony Fauci's fingerprints are all over this sadistic caper, but he denies having anything to do with it. It's our fault, he says: We didn't read the fine print..
  • Jeffrey Tucker is the founder and president of the Brownstone Institute and the author of many thousands of articles in the scholarly and popular press and ten books in 5 languages.
  • He writes a daily column on economics at The Epoch Times, and speaks widely on topics of economics, technology, social philosophy, and culture.
