It’s the weekend; let’s lighten the mood with a hearty laugh:

The Inamori International Center for Ethics and Excellence at Case Western Reserve University will award Dr. Anthony Fauci, a physician, immunologist, and infectious disease expert, with the 2024 Inamori Ethics Prize.

Fauci made a name for himself as not only the most grotesquely overpaid but also one of the most arrogantly dishonest bureaurats ever to infest the DC swamp.

That he is a liar, not even Fauci himself is dishonest enough to dispute. He admitted that he lied to the public about herd immunity, moving the goal posts based on what figures he thought the public would believe.

Fauci misused his power to impose the “natural occurrence” Covid narrative long after we knew it was a joke. He did this to hide his own culpability for Covid’s existence. It appears highly likely that it was engineered in a probable bioweapons lab with funding he helped provide and that he knew this from the beginning.

Fauci is a felon for lying to Congress. Demands from prominent senators that he be criminally prosecuted are ignored because Fauci benefits from our two-tiered justice system, under which no one so beloved by leftists that they burn votive candles to him will ever face justice.

Instead, the establishment gives him an ethics prize. Maybe our moonbat overlords have a sense of humor after all.

The announcement itself is jarringly dishonest. Fauci is praised for helping to “combat rampant and dangerous misinformation.” In reality, he aggressively suppressed dissent to protect himself and his ChiCom compadres and to facilitate Covid tyranny.

The unrepentant Fauci’s only regret after the pointless misery, repression, and economic devastation that he helped inflict is that the Big Government he personifies was not repressive enough:

“If I knew in 2020 what I know now, we would do a lot differently,” said Fauci in an interview [last year]. “The insidious nature of spread in the community would have been much more of an alarm, and there would have been much, much more stringent restrictions in the sense of very, very heavy encouragement of people to wear masks, physical distancing, what have you.”

The previous Inamori Ethics Prize winner was from Ukraine, arguably the most corrupt nation on the planet. Follow the trajectory and you have to ask, can an ethics prize for Joe Biden be far away?

You thought no one could be worse that the smug, grotesquely overpaid bureauweenie Anthony Fauci, the face of Covid tyranny, who lied in Senate testimony, who tried to hide the origins of Covid, and who was evidently involved in funding its development — a moonbat so insufferable that liberals literally burn votive candles featuring his likeness? Meet his replacement, Jeanne Marrazzo:

Daily Mail reports:

Marrazzo, from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, will start her role as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in the fall.

Regarding her qualifications, in addition to not being a man, her priorities are impeccably correct:

Her previous work has focused on contraceptives, women’s health, HIV and STDs, sexual health, and health issues facing the LGBTQ+ community, both nationally and internationally, as well as health disparities and equity and interdisciplinary collaborative research.

Naturally, she is publicly homosexual. Not being a Woman of Color makes that a requirement.

Marrazzo pushed for mask-wearing in schools during the pandemic despite warnings that face coverings would hamper their education.

The masks also hampered their health, as has been known for some time. Like many suffocating Covid measures, masks on children served no constructive purpose.

At least we learned from the miserable experience of Covid. We now know better than to take government scientists seriously. Unfortunately, our rulers learned something too: that there is virtually no limit to what we will put up with.

On a tip from Varla.

Anthony Fauci used his power to prop up the story that Covid occurred naturally, rather than being designed in a ChiCom lab with funding that he helped provide. That narrative is crumbling, with even the Deep State admitting that Covid probably came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as we have known for years. Even as the walls close in, Science Personified still tries to spin his way out:

“A lab leak could be that someone was out in the wild, maybe looking for different types of viruses in bats, got infected, went into a lab and was being studied in the lab and then came out of the lab,” Fauci told anchor Jim Acosta.

Cue the laugh track:

“But if that’s the definition of a lab leak Jim, then that’s still a natural occurrence.”

The comparably slippery Bill Clinton told us that it all depends on what the definition of “is” is. Fauci tinkers with the definitions of “gain of function” and “lab leak.”

He also made a point of noting that no investigative agency tasked with investigating the origins of the virus by President Biden in 2021 found evidence of nefarious activity at the lab.

An incompetent, senile president who has been bought off by our Chinese communist adversaries found no nefarious activity in their bioweapons program. What a relief.

As for being held accountable for committing a federal crime by lying to Congress about his role in creating Covid, Fauci is indignant:

“I mean, prosecute me for what? What are, what are they talking about? I mean I wish I could figure out what the heck they were talking about. I think they’re just going off the deep end,” he told Acosta.

Someone as conspicuously in love with his own public image as Anthony Fauci must study every word of his own press coverage. He knows very well what he will be prosecuted for if integrity is returned to DC. But let’s have Ted Cruz explain it anyway:

By this point in 15 Days to Slow the Spread, most of us have figured out that Big Government can crush small businesses and impose degrading mandates, but it cannot contain a virus. Despite all the liberty sacrificed, the very personification of Covid tyranny, quadruple-vaxxed Tony Fauci himself, has come down with the ChiCom virus twice.

His hysterical overreaction to Covid — which caused more damage than the virus itself — has made Fauci a demigod among left-wing authoritarians. Maybe that’s why, after 2+ years of ruining little people’s lives with his ham-fisted tragicomic ineptitude, Fauci’s main regret is that there was not enough senseless tyranny:

“If I knew in 2020 what I know now, we would do a lot differently,” said Fauci in an interview on Monday. “The insidious nature of spread in the community would have been much more of an alarm, and there would have been much, much more stringent restrictions in the sense of very, very heavy encouragement of people to wear masks, physical distancing, what have you.”

What he knows now that he did not know before is how much people will put up with before coming with torches and pitchforks.

Not the Bee offers special thanks to our lord and master, King of the Technocrats Anthony Fauci, on the occasion of his coming down with the disease that he could supposedly stop through authoritarian measures:

Thanks for proving that being a powerful, lockdown-driven, always-masked, daily-tested, quadruple-jabbed elite still doesn’t stop the spread!

Now can we stop with idiotic mask and vaccination charades? Absurdly, some places still require them.

Secretly, Fauci is probably taking ivermectin, or as the moonbat media calls it, horse de-wormer.

Say, what’s this?

Fauci was scheduled to brief Congress on the country’s response to the pandemic on Thursday. It remains to be seen whether he will participate in the hearing remotely.

Maybe he’s faking it so that he doesn’t have to commit any more felonies by lying to Congress again. Surely Dr Fauci couldn’t really have Covid. That would indicate that the repressive measures he advocates don’t work.

In a free country, the press helps keep government under control by exposing it to the public when it gets out of line. In ours, a journalist who exposes powerful bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci can expect cancelation. Just ask Adam Andrzejewski, formerly of Forbes:

In 2011, I founded a national transparency organization called OpenTheBooks.com. Last year, we filed 47,000 Freedom of Information Act requests, the most in American history. We successfully captured and displayed online $12 trillion of federal, state, and local spending.

Over the past 14 months – since January 2021 – we investigated Dr. Fauci’s financials by filing FOIA requests. When I published our original reporting at Forbes, here is what happened.

The National Institutes of Health, Fauci’s employer, loaded an artillery shell in their big gun and fired it at the C-suite at Forbes. Quickly, Forbes folded and my column was terminated.

In response to a letter from high-level NIH bureaucrats, Forbes forbade him from writing about Fauci before killing his column altogether. Then they made it up to their overlords for having published a transparency advocate like Andrzejewski in the first place:

On the day Forbes cancelled me, the editors bent the knee. A new piece on Fauci published: “Fauci’s Portrait Will Soon Hang In The Smithsonian.”

Andrzejewski is the guy who broke the story of the conspicuously useless Covid tyrant Fauci being the highest paid employee in the entire federal leviathan, and having the most lavish retirement package in US Government history. Other findings included:

• Net worth: The Fauci household net worth exceeded $10.4 million.

• Earnings and gains: Salaries, benefits, royalties, investment gains in the Fauci household exceeded $1.7 million in 2020.

• Fauci’s wife: Christine Grady, the chief bioethicist at NIH made $234,284 in 2020.

• Royalties: Fauci made between $100,000 and $1 million as an editor and board member of McGraw-Hill.

• Awards: In 2021, Fauci was awarded a $1 million prize for “speaking truth to power” from the Dan David Foundation in Israel.

The irony content of that last item is enough to induce convulsions. Anthony Fauci is power incarnate, as the defenestration of Andrzejewski for exposing him demonstrates. He is an admitted liar who committed a felony by lying to Congress about US funding of the ChiCom research that almost certainly created Covid.

Andrzejewski had been a regular contributor since 2014, publishing about a quarter million words in Forbes. But a liberal establishment organ’s first loyalty is to Big Government, not to its contributors — or to its readers.

On a tip from Henry.

The good news for white guys is that it is still conceivable for them to be honored by the federal government via the Smithsonian Institution on behalf of the liberal establishment as Portrait of a Nation honorees. It helps to be an arrogant, grotesquely overpaid technocrat and admitted liar who may be complicit in 5.6+ million deaths and counting, who has covered up the origins of Covid, and who belongs in prison for lying to Congress.

Try not to gag:

On YouTube, viewers can see the 3 likes on the video above, but no count is shown for the dislikes. One reason for this could be that actual Americans do not worship Fauci the way our rulers do. A majority of independents want him to resign, despite this sort of spin from the media:

On tips from Eddie_Valiant and Jester.

More goes on at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases under Anthony Fauci’s leadership than funding gain-of-function research. Some of it is on the cutting edge — of political correctness:

Fauci’s agency awarded over $200,000 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic to an experiment injecting male monkeys with female hormones, in a bid to find out why trans women [i.e., men who say they are women] have higher rates of HIV.

They could have spared taxpayers and the poor monkeys by asking an average person, who would have told them that the higher rates of HIV probably have something to do with a lifestyle oriented around deviant sexual activity.

But maybe there is more to it than that:

Scientists plan to monitor how the hormones impact the males’ immune systems, testing the hypothesis that feminizing hormones negatively affect trans women’s immune systems and thus increase their likelihood of becoming HIV positive.

As with gays, transsexuals appear to enjoy priority from the government when it comes to combatting the diseases their life choices render them prone to.

On a tip from AintYerPa.

We may be close to confirming that Covid was engineered at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, that Tony Fauci helped finance its development, and that Fauci lied to Congress regarding the funding of gain of function research.

Via Project Veritas:

Military documents state that EcoHealth Alliance approached DARPA in March 2018 seeking funding to conduct gain of function research of bat borne coronaviruses. The proposal, named Project Defuse, was rejected by DARPA over safety concerns and the notion that it violates the gain of function research moratorium.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) develops technologies such as nuclear missiles for military purposes. It regarded the research that apparently created Covid as too dangerous to pursue. But the NIAID and NIH under Tony Fauci and his fellow dissent-suppressing technocrat Francis Collins apparently felt otherwise and provided funding.

Fauci has repeatedly maintained, under oath, that the NIH and [NIAID] have not been involved in gain of function research with the EcoHealth Alliance program. But according to the documents obtained by Project Veritas which outline why EcoHealth Alliance’s proposal was rejected, DARPA certainly classified the research as gain of function.

Further revelations relate to the concealment of documents and the suppression of curatives like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

If the veracity of this DARPA memo can be confirmed, the implications are astounding:

SARS-CoV-2 is an American-created recombinant bat vaccine, or its precursor virus. It was created by an EcoHealth Alliance program at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), as suggested by the reporting surrounding the lab leak hypothesis. The details of this program have been concealed since the pandemic began. …

SARS-CoV-2’s form as it emerged is likely as a precursor, deliberately virulent, humanized recombinant SARSr-CoV that was to be reverse engineered into a live attenuated SARSr-CoV bat vaccine.

But then Frankenstein’s monster slipped out of the laboratory. The rest is history.

Listen to him long enough — and we have listened to him nonstop for 2 years — and even Anthony Fauci, Big Government technocracy personified, will say something sensible. He admitted on MSNBC that hospitalizations of children with Covid are blown out of proportion, because these children tend to be admitted for more serious conditions unrelated to Covid.

Quoth Fauci:

“[I]f you look at the children who are hospitalized, many of them are hospitalized with Covid as opposed to because of Covid, and what we mean by that, if a child goes in the hospital, they automatically get tested for Covid, and they get counted as a Covid-hospitalized individual, when in fact, they may go in for a broken leg or appendicitis or something like that. So it’s overcounting the number of children who are, quote, ‘hospitalized with Covid,’ as opposed to because of Covid.”

This is because Covid tends to be so mild in children that often no one would know they had it if they weren’t in the hospital for some other reason. Omicron appears to be even milder in children than earlier variants.

Meanwhile, the leftists running California and New York mandate vaccination for small children, despite the long-term effects of the vaccines still being unknowable.

When even its greatest beneficiary admits the Covid crisis is overblown, the party is winding down. Unfortunately, Covid tyranny is only a dry run for what they intend to inflict on us in the name of the imaginary climate crisis. Refer to the Great Reset for details.

On a tip from Blackjack.

Clueless yet arrogant Anthony Fauci is the face of the tyrannical and incompetent technocracy that has exploited Covid to increase its power at the country’s expense. At age 81, he is overdue to step down, like crooning fellow technotyrant Francis Collins. If he retires, the highest paid federal employee will cost taxpayers over $350,000 per year in retirement benefits.

Via Open the Books:

Fauci would reap the largest federal retirement package in U.S. history.

Our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com estimate Dr. Fauci’s annual retirement would exceed $350,000. Thereafter, his pension and benefits would continue to increase through annual cost-of-living adjustments.

Given the skyrocketing cost of living under Democrat rule, his pension is likely to become as colossal as his ego.

Sadly, Fauci has no plans to retire. His work is too crucial to the nation.

“I’m the head of an institute that actually played the major role in the development of the vaccines that have saved now millions of lives from COVID-19,” he told CBS’ “Face the Nation” in an interview. “I’m the director of the institute that has now been very important in the basic research in leading to the drugs that will now have an important impact in the treatment of COVID-19. That’s what I do.”

He doesn’t mention his possible role in funding ChiCom gain-of-function research that created the virus.

“So, I’m going to keep doing that until this COVID-19 outbreak is in the rearview mirror, regardless of what anybody says about me, or wants to lie and create crazy fabrications because of political motivations[.]”

Earlier, we were led to believe that people lie and create crazy fabrications about him because they hate Science.

If it is up to Fauci et al., Covid is never going anywhere, so retirement is out of the question. Maybe he can pay the ChiComs with our money to work on re-animator fluid, so that he can stay on the job even after he has passed away.

In other Fauci news, Senator Rand Paul makes the case that Fauci has been killing thousands of Americans per month with his irrational emphasis on vaccines rather than therapeutics:

“I would venture to say that thousands of people die in our country every month now from COVID because [Fauci’s] deemphasized the idea that there are therapeutics,” Paul, who is also a physician, said in an interview on the Ron Paul Liberty Report published Monday.

Among the most promising therapeutics are monoclonal antibodies, which work so well that in Minnesota, hated Caucasians are put last in line for them.

“Recent data showed that monoclonal antibody treatment cuts the risk of death and hospitalization by 70% in high-risk patients and reduces the chance of infection among a household by 80%,” Paul wrote in a September op-ed. “Monoclonal antibodies have only just begun to be mentioned by the mainstream media, and misinformation still plagues government bureaucrats when discussing this scientifically-backed treatment.”

Fauci does not personify Science as he imagines, but he does personify government bureaucrats.

To impose tyranny in the name of global warming or Covid, Democrats must achieve consensus among the Experts on the dubious if not outright preposterous pseudoscientific opinions they exploit. Technocrats Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins (who just stepped down as head of the NIH) demonstrate how it’s done in emails that the American Institute for Economic Research got hold of through the Freedom of Information Act.

From the Wall Street Journal:

The tale unfolded in October 2020 after the launch of the Great Barrington Declaration, a statement by Harvard’s Martin Kulldorff, Oxford’s Sunetra Gupta and Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya against blanket pandemic lockdowns. They favored a policy of what they called “focused protection” of high-risk populations such as the elderly or those with medical conditions. Thousands of scientists signed the declaration—if they were able to learn about it.

The liberal establishment suppressed the Great Barrington Declaration, largely by ignoring it. Debt Star technocrats like Fauci and Collins took a more active approach.

“This proposal from the three fringe epidemiologists . . . seems to be getting a lot of attention – and even a co-signature from Nobel Prize winner Mike Leavitt at Stanford. There needs to be a quick and devastating published take down of its premises,” Dr. Collins wrote [to Fauci]. “Is it underway?”

“Fringe” is technocratese for “dissident.”

A week after his email, Dr. Collins spoke to the Washington Post about the Great Barrington Declaration. “This is a fringe component of epidemiology,” he said. “This is not mainstream science. It’s dangerous.”

What really is dangerous is white collar thugs like Collins and Fauci politicizing science and suppressing debate.

Dr. Fauci replied to Dr. Collins that the takedown was underway. …

Dr. Fauci also emailed an article from the Nation, a left-wing magazine, and his staff sent him several more. The emails suggest a feedback loop: The media cited Dr. Fauci as an unquestionable authority, and Dr. Fauci got his talking points from the media. Facebook censored mentions of the Great Barrington Declaration. This is how groupthink works.

Recalcitrant scientists of the “Eppur si muove” type aren’t imprisoned these days. They aren’t even forced to listen to Collins singing and strumming his guitar. Soft tyrannies have soft takedowns. These make ideological conformity a prerequisite for career success and even continued employment.

Similar takedowns can be expected as necessary to keep everyone on the same page regarding the global warming hoax. Any scientist skeptical about a policy of controlling the weather by wasting taxpayer money on electric cars and other inefficient boondoggles will be dismissed as “fringe” and canceled.

On a tip from Varla.

Fakebook’s sinister android CEO does not inspire trust, so few will be surprised by this report that Mark Zuckerberg offered to assist Anthony Fauci in inflicting Covid tyranny:

In private emails between Mark Zuckerberg and Anthony Fauci – obtained exclusively by The National Pulse – the Facebook founder and CEO offered to send “data reports” on users to “facilitate decisions” about COVID-19 lockdowns. …

The exchange comes amidst separate emails between the Facebook CEO and NIAID director discussing the social media platform’s “Coronavirus Information Hub” and how to control the narrative around the pandemic.

When Senator Marsha Blackburn raised the matter earlier this year, Fauci denied knowledge of interactions with the Facebook chief.

Good thing Fauci is apparently immune to the law against lying to Congress.

It is believed that a redacted section of their correspondence includes an offer by Zuckerberg to censor information Fauci finds unhelpful.

The news comes as Facebook lawyers admit their “fact-check” endeavors are little more than “opinions” by third-party partners of the firm. The company has deleted thousands of posts and accounts related to COVID-19 based on these “fact-checks”.

Alarming though it may be, conspiring with Fauci pales in comparison to helping Biden’s radical handlers to take control of the government.

On a tip from AintYerPa.

We’ve heard Anthony Fauci’s “I am Science Personified, and therefore beyond criticism” shtick before. But never has the bloated federal behemoth’s highest paid bureauweenie so brazenly revealed himself to be a partisan apparatchik, there to serve himself and the Democratic Party rather than the public at large.

On Sunday, Fauci used the Democrat propaganda platform “Face the Nation” to denounce his political opponents Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. The Blaze reports:

When confronted with Cruz’s assertion that Fauci should be prosecuted for allegedly lying to Congress, Fauci invoked the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.

“I have to laugh at that. I should be prosecuted? What happened on Jan. 6, Senator?” Fauci said.

The logic is hard to follow. Because an unruly mob protesting against election fraud trespassed in the People’s House, Fauci is allowed to commit felonies?

Maybe Fauci missed the memo that Jacob Chansley, the clownish eccentric with the fur pelt, face paint, and Viking horns who liberals tell us was a threat to overthrow the government on January 6, was just sentenced to 41 months, essentially for disturbing the peace. He played no role in organizing the disturbance, and committed no violence or property damage.

If we are going to dispense justice that harshly, Fauci lying to Congress about possible US taxpayer funding of the creation of Covid warrants impalement on a stake.

Fauci then doubled down on the cheap political demagoguery by blaming Trump for his own ongoing incompetence and dishonesty. The persecuted golden boy whimpers that he has been made into a “scapegoat” to deflect from Trump’s failures.

Worst of all is the tyrannical paper-pusher’s ludicrous delusions of grandeur:

“[T]hey’re really criticizing science, because I represent science. That’s dangerous. To me, that’s more dangerous than the slings and the arrows that get thrown at me. And if you damage science, you are doing something very detrimental to society long after I leave.”

Criticizing Science Personified is detrimental to society itself.

Rand Paul accurately describes Fauci’s insane outburst as “astounding and alarming.” Ted Cruz reminds us that for all his smoke and bluster, Fauci still lied to Congress, which is a crime punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
