Yeah, no. Turns out there\u2019s almost no surface transmission of COVID-19. Nearly none.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you would think that the smart people running things (they must be smart \u2019cause they\u2019re running things, right?) would\u2019ve said, \u201cHang on, let\u2019s study this thing first, collect some data, and then come up with some conclusions and courses of action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But no, instead, everyone was saying everything all at the same time \u2014 and the mainstream media was laughing all the way to the bank. \u201cIt turns out the pandemic is a pretty big part of the news cycle and that\u2019s not going away anytime soon,\u201d WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar said in March 2021. \u201cIt turns out it\u2019s really good for ratings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If it bleeds it leads, amirite?<\/p>\n<p>Before the fact-checkers get their undies in a wad, let\u2019s be clear: COVID-19 was pretty bad (for old and fat people and those with comorbidities). It did kill 993,996 Americans as of Tuesday (and if you\u2019re keeping score at home, 596,599 came on President Biden\u2019s watch).<\/p>\n<p>For the record, 925,931 of those deaths were people 50 years old and older. And if you go \u201cclassic old\u201d (65 and above), it turns out nearly 7 in 10 deaths (74.4) were in that age bracket. So yes, mostly \u201cold\u201d people.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s bad, but eh, not that bad. There are 320 million people in America, so we\u2019re talking less than a third of 1%. For comparison, COVID-19 has killed 6.3 million people worldwide; the 1918 influenza pandemic killed at least 50 million, with some estimates running as high as 100 million.<\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s get to the real Debbie Downer of the pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. immunologist.<\/p>\n<p>Back in March 2020, Fauci declared, \u201cThere\u2019s no reason to be walking around with a mask.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it\u2019s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is,\u201d the doctor said on CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, so, wrong. Turns out it\u2019s mostly airborne.<\/p>\n<p>Then this in January 2021, Fauci said wearing two masks is likely more effective than wearing one. \u201cIf you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on it, just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective,\u201d he told NBC News.<\/p>\n<p>Duh. Wrong again. In fact, mask-wearing has been proven to be barely effective, especially with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/health\/2022\/01\/05\/cloth-masks-not-effective-omicron-covid\/9091574002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Omicron variant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jump to last week. Fauci declared on Tuesday that the \u201cpandemic phase\u201d is over. But that was refuted the next day \u2014 by Fauci. Yup, the doc walked it all back \u2014 maybe after a miffed Biden got to him \u2014 and said, \u201cby no means does that mean the pandemic is over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then this: Fauci announced on Thursday he would not attend the White House Correspondents\u2019 Association dinner, which was held Saturday. Fauci was invited by ABC News \u201cand had planned on going,\u201d CNN reported, but he \u201cdecided to abandon those plans and inform ABC that he would no longer attend because of an individual assessment of his own personal risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yup, 2,500 people in a room is too scary for the immunologist \u2014 but that didn\u2019t keep him from attending the swanky white-tie Gridiron gala last month.<\/p>\n<p>Forget all that. You\u2019re in the Fauci Vortex, where up is down.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, (hypocrisy alert) a maskless Fauci was photographed attending a packed pre-dinner brunch on Saturday afternoon. And we\u2019ve been to that brunch in years past \u2014 it\u2019s packed to the gills. In fact, Fauci was snapped schmoozing it up all over the brunch, all with maskless garden party goers. He do get around, don\u2019t he?<\/p>\n<p>And now, after all that, Fauci is back to his doomsday predictions about another wave of death and destruction from whatever variant is out there now.<\/p>\n<p>Comedian David Spade summed it all up in a show he did Sunday just outside Washington. Speaking as Fauci, he warned, \u201cWe have no data now, but it\u2019s gonna be worse! It\u2019s gonna be worse than Rocky 5!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now that we all know just what a hypocrite Fauci is, the question must be asked: When will he just go away? He\u2019s 81, the highest-paid employee in the entire federal government (he gets more than the president), and he keeps getting everything wrong \u2014 and not practicing what he preaches, just like all Democrats have done from the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to go, Dr. Grouchy. We\u2019re finally \u2014 finally \u2014 onto you.<\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl covered the White House for a dozen years and ran the Drudge Report for four years.
