When you ask if he deserves any culpability for any negative consequences as a result of pandemic policies, well, that\u2019s a different story.<\/p>\n<p>In a clip released Friday night, CNN\u2019s Christiane Amanpour asked Fauci, \u201cBut I want to know what you think \u2014 you and the community got wrong. Was the closing of schools too draconian? How much of the delay did the fact that nobody fully understood the asymptomatic spread of this, nobody figured out it could actually bust through certain vaccine levels as well. What are the real takeaways, real lessons for public health?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we have to get away from the blame game because so many of the things you mentioned were unknowns at the time,\u201d Fauci responded, before bloviating about \u201cMonday morning quarterbacking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fauci, for some reason, is on a bit of a media blitz, in addition to his CNN interview. From his comment, it is clear that he wants to be remembered as a selfless hero who gave his time and suggestions to the president \u2014 without any real power to enact lockdowns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI gave a public-health recommendation that echoed the CDC\u2019s recommendation, and people made a decision based on that. But I never criticized the people who had to make the decisions one way or the other,\u201d Fauci said to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2023\/04\/24\/magazine\/dr-fauci-pandemic.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a> in a recent interview.<\/p>\n<p>While it is technically true that he had no real power in terms of shutting anything down, Fauci was perceived as the go-to \u201cexpert\u201d on COVID whom the president, as well as other politicians, depended upon for advice. Should the president have used his judgment to ignore Fauci\u2019s guidance, as some states did? Of course. Is Fauci presenting his role in the pandemic accurately? Not even close.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Fauci effectively <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/05\/12\/us\/politics\/coronavirus-fauci-senate-testimony.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> elected officials they would be responsible for \u201cneedless suffering and death\u201d if they re-opened too quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Readers should also keep in mind that Fauci wants to take credit for the COVID vaccine and the quickness with which it was released. Yet throughout 2020, Fauci cast doubt on Operation Warp Speed.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1682517572037000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0eoxTLnzKr3rl49f2LXGnU\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe one thing that you would not want to see with a vaccine is getting an EUA before you have a signal of efficacy,\u201d\u00a0 Fauci <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/08\/24\/fauci-says-rushing-out-a-vaccine-could-jeopardize-testing-of-others.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> in August 2020. \u201cOne of the potential dangers if you prematurely let a vaccine out is that it would make it difficult, if not impossible, for the other vaccines to enroll people in their trial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, though, he says that he made the decision in January 2020 to push the vaccine at breakneck speed.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/03\/29\/fauci-says-covid-19-vaccines-are-best-decision-ive-ever-made\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told CNN<\/a> in 2021,\u201d\u2026that the decision we made on January the 10th \u2013 to go all out and develop a vaccine \u2013 may have been the best decision that I\u2019ve ever made with regard to an intervention as director of the institute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Americans now know that medical experts have since warned that some people who took the vaccine have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/covid-vaccine-brings-higher-heart-risk-little-benefit-to-young-men-medical-expert-warns\">higher risk<\/a> of adverse side effects. We also know that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/latest-evidence-lockdowns-were-a-disaster-child-shootings-skyrocketed-in-four-liberal-cities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">side effects of lockdowns<\/a> \u2014 rising mental health crises, drug addictions, domestic violence, low-quality education, and more social decay \u2014 were arguably worse than the disease.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci, though, doesn\u2019t want to focus on any of that. Perhaps he doesn\u2019t want to concentrate on what went wrong because in order to do that, he would have to admit that politicians should not be making edicts and decrees that keep Americans in their homes and kids out of school and trampling freedom, based on ever-changing data.<\/p>\n<p>If we were to look at the pandemic from all angles, Fauci would have to give credit to states like Georgia, Florida, and elsewhere for handling the pandemic in arguably better ways than those like New York and California which followed his guidance.<\/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<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you ask Dr. Anthony Fauci, he was a humble public servant who did the best he could to navigate the country through a once-in-a-generation pandemic, and he \u2014 as the personification of science itself \u2014 saved lives during COVID.
