trouble sleeping, I do not recommend trying to read Dr. Anthony Fauci\u2019s 363-page testimony in a federal lawsuit about how U.S. government officials colluded with Big Tech to censor online speech about COVID.<\/p>\n<p>It is positively soporific to parse Fauci saying, \u201cI don\u2019t recall\u201d over and over again in response to questions ranging from the research he was funding at the Wuhan lab to whether his inspiration for lockdowns came from China.\u00a0 In all, President Biden\u2019s Chief Medical Advisor <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Eric_Schmitt\/status\/1599853199703552000\">drew a blank<\/a> on a couple hundred occasions <a

his late-November deposition<\/a> detailing crucial government efforts during the earliest days of the pandemic\u00a0 It was an amazing display of total recall \u2014 in reverse \u2014 all from being put under oath by Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite tap-dancing around many of the questions, Fauci did dish some disturbing truths:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Made in China Lockdowns<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In February 2020, Fauci sent one of his<strong> <\/strong>deputies, Dr. Cliff Lane, to China to understand how authorities were responding to early COVID cases.\u00a0 Lane <a href=\"https:\/\/brownstone.org\/articles\/what-happened-on-the-junket-to-china-in-february-2020\/\">came back<\/a> with a glowing report on how Beijing\u2019s \u201cextreme measures\u201d were effective in eradicating COVID, reporting that \u201cChina has demonstrated this infection can be controlled, albeit at great cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure

convinced that lockdowns were the only way to go, Fauci set out to crush COVID in the same manner.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci\u2019s wasn\u2019t following the science; he was falling for PRC propaganda \u2014 and years of US lockdowns ensued.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/jeff-landry.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

the outbreak would \u201cincrease tensions and reduce cooperation\u201d with Beijing that was absolutely necessary to prevent future pandemics and get to the bottom of this one.

February 9, 2020 podcast, about the possibility of a lab origin, he erupted:\u00a0 \u201cI heard these conspiracy theories and like all conspiracy theories, Newt, they\u2019re just conspiracy
