Biden<\/em>, a civil lawsuit against the Biden administration over alleged free speech violations, Fauci acknowledged that Dr. Clifford Lane, clinical director at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who was <a href=\"https:\/\/nihrecord.nih.gov\/2020\/04\/03\/niaids-lane-discusses-who-covid-19-mission-china\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">appointed<\/a> to the February 2020 World Health Organization-China Joint Mission team, told Fauci that he was \u201cimpressed\u201d with China\u2019s successful management of the Covid outbreak. <\/p>\n<p>In doing so, Lane conveyed to Fauci his belief that \u201cextreme social distancing policies\u201d were essential to curtailing the spread of disease. During his deposition, Fauci stated that he had \u201cevery reason to believe\u201d the accuracy of Lane\u2019s evaluation and admitted that \u201csocial distancing, even by somewhat difficult means\u201d that involved \u201cessentially the entire community\u201d was possible in the U.S. as early as February 2020.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, a review of the earliest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Covid-19 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/downloads\/workplace-school-and-home-guidance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guidelines<\/a>, as well as Fauci\u2019s own <a href=\"https:\/\/s3.documentcloud.org\/documents\/20793561\/leopold-nih-foia-anthony-fauci-emails.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">emails<\/a> from the period, indicate that a WHO-backed, CCP-driven agenda informed the U.S. pandemic response from the beginning. Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx wielded the flimsiest of \u201cscientific evidence\u201d to beguile the American public while hiding their lockdown cards up their sleeves.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s aggressive and unprecedented approach to \u201cflattening the curve\u201d was neither ethically justified nor scientifically proven. Authorities from the WHO, Italy, France, Australia, and the U.S. knew that the elderly and those with underlying health conditions were the most at risk. In the vast majority of cases, the virus wasn\u2019t dangerous. <\/p>\n<p>According to the Joint Mission report, \u201capproximately 80 percent of laboratory confirmed patients [in China] had mild to moderate disease.\u201d In children under 19, Covid-19 was mild and constituted around 2.4 percent of reported cases; only 0.2 percent of children infected were in danger. The Joint Mission team lead and senior adviser to the WHO director-general, Dr. Bruce Aylward, emphasized that asymptomatic transmission chains were an \u201curban myth\u201d and that there was \u201cno evidence schools were driving transmission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet the Joint Mission exported the narrative that this was a \u201crapidly escalating and deadly epidemic\u201d and insisted that China\u2019s containment measures were \u201cproven to interrupt or minimize transmission chains.\u201d In lockstep, governments began deploying, with enthusiastic support from the press, an incremental terror campaign against their own citizens.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. White House Coronavirus Taskforce announced the initial CDC community control guidelines on March 9, 2020. Birx and Fauci cheerily explained that the \u201cscientific evidence that informed each of these guidelines\u201d came from research out of Australia.<\/p>\n<p>The paper referenced was authored by experts in epidemiology, population, and public health and was posted online only four days earlier, on March 5. Fauci forwarded it to Birx and then CDC Director Robert Redfield the night before the March 9 press conference. The authors hadn\u2019t been contacted by anyone from the U.S. government or the CDC, and the paper hadn\u2019t been peer-reviewed.
