Fauci's Holocaust

Kevin Downey Jr. has a piece over at PJ Media entitled "COVID-19: Fauci's Holocaust." And I think he is spot on in his observations laying this at the feet of Fauci. Some of the points raised in the article:

COVID was nothing less than a modern-day Holocaust.  It killed roughly seven million people worldwide. Economies crumbled, and trillions of dollars were lost. Families were kept apart on holidays. We watched our grandparents die alone on tablets. Funerals were either not allowed or limited to 10 people. Children didn't go to school, creating years of educational and emotional damage they still feel today.

 The COVID virus and the responses were some of the most evil, premeditated tactics humans have ever wrought upon mankind. What we also endured was a years-long propaganda-fest that would ideologically tear families apart, cost people their livelihoods, and have people at each other's throats in what many were duped into believing was an existential threat to everyone on the planet.

 Here's what we know:

• Fauci decided to sidestep restrictions on gain-of-function research in the U.S. so, through grants and contracts, pursued gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
• There, researchers created the COVID-19 virus which, whether by accident or deliberately, was released, quickly spreading in China and, thence, to the rest of the world. 
• Fauci's diary states on February 8, 2020, that he believed that COVID's fatality rate at 0.2-0.3%, but on March 10, he stated it was 10 times higher, which lie he repeated in testimony to Congress.
• He was a key figure urging the lockdowns, notwithstanding that COVID was no more fatal than seasonal flu. And he "admitted in his diary that he convinced elected leaders to continue the lockdowns for as long as he deemed necessary."
• He was a key figure behind mask mandates although he knew that the masks did nothing to prevent the spread of the virus 
• He used the lockdowns as a way of forcing people to get the vaccination.
• And he did all of this for fame, money, and self-aggrandizement.
