Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has admitted that some of the most stringent COVID-19 guidelines, including social distancing and child masking, were not rooted in concrete scientific evidence.
This admission came during a comprehensive interview with the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic earlier this year, details of which were released ahead of Dr. Fauci’s scheduled testimony on Monday.

According to a transcript released by Republicans, during the January interviews, Dr. Fauci disclosed that the widely enforced “6 feet apart” social distancing guideline “sort of just appeared” and was not based on any data.
This guideline had significant repercussions, leading to the closure of schools and small businesses nationwide. Ironically, however, Fauci permitted the George Floyd protests and riots to wreak havoc across the country.
Below is Dr. Fauci’s transcribed interview via the COVID Select Subcommittee:
SOCIAL DISTANCING: The “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation forced on Americans by federal health officials was arbitrary and not based on science.
Majority Counsel: “Do you recall when discussions regarding, kind of, the at least a 6 foot threshold began?”
Dr. Fauci: “The 6 foot in the school?”
Majority Counsel: “Six foot overall. I mean, 6-foot was applied at businesses—”
Dr. Fauci: “Yeah.”
Majority Counsel: “—it was applied in schools, it was applied here. At least how the messaging was applied was that 6-foot distancing was the distance that needed to be—“
Dr. Fauci: “You know, I don’t recall. It sort of just appeared. I don’t recall, like, a discussion of whether it should be 5 or 6 or whatever. It was just that 6 foot is—”
Majority Counsel: “Did you see any studies that supported 6 feet?”
Dr. Fauci: “I was not aware of studies that in fact, that would be a very difficult study to do.”
Francis Collins, the former director of the National Insitute of Health, admitted in a closed-door interview earlier this year that he did not see any scientific evidence that social distancing was a proven method of containing the virus.
The controversy extends beyond social distancing. During the pandemic, Americans were subjected to strict mask mandates, with penalties imposed on those who did not comply. These mandates covered everyone – from adults entering businesses to children in schools. Now, it appears these directives were also issued without a solid foundation in science.
When questioned about the evidence supporting the masking of children, Dr. Fauci’s memory was unclear.
Below is Dr. Fauci’s transcribed interview via the COVID Select Subcommittee:
MASKING: Dr. Fauci testified that he did not recall any supporting evidence for masking children. Concerningly, mask-wearing has been associated with learning loss and severe speech development issues in America’s children.
Majority Counsel: “Do you recall reviewing any studies or data supporting masking for children?”
Dr. Fauci: “You know, I might have, Mitch, but I don’t recall specifically that I did. I might have.”
Majority Counsel: “Since the — there’s been a lot of studies that have come out since the pandemic started, but specifically on this there have been significant on kind of like the learning loss and speech and development issues that have been associated with particularly young children wearing masks while they’re growing up. They can’t see their teacher talk and can’t learn how to form words. Have you followed any of those studies?”
Dr. Fauci: “No. But I believe that there are a lot of conflicting studies too, that there are those that say, yes, there is an impact, and there are those that say there’s not. I still think that’s up in the air.”
You can read the key takeaways in the new memo here.
So there you have it. Time and time again, those of us, including The Gateway Pundit, who questioned every aspect of the COVID pandemic, from the lockdown regimes and mask mandates all the way through to vaccines and potential treatments, have been proven correct.
U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, joined Maria Bartiromo to discuss Fauci’s upcoming hearing on Monday.
Earlier this month, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) finally admitted to funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the site of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This admission directly contradicts previous statements made under oath by Dr. Anthony Fauci,
“Fauci lied. He committed a felony. It’s clear there was a massive cover-up from the beginning,” Sen. Paul wrote.

A member of Joe Biden’s campaign team went on television today and made an unhinged statement that could be construed as a nasty threat against President Trump.
As Gateway Pundit readers know, a rigged New York City jury convicted Trump on ALL 34 COUNTS in Alvin Bragg and corrupt Judge Juan Merchan’s lawfare case Thursday afternoon.
This outrageous travesty of justice was made possible by the Biden regime. They sicced Michael Colangelo, who previously worked in the Justice Department, to NYC to collude with Bragg to convict Trump on non-existent crimes.
The Biden campaign then openly celebrated the verdict and released a statement begging for donations following the success of their sinister operation.
Junior Biden campaign spokesman Michael Tyler appeared on Fox News’s MediaBuzz to discuss the garbage Trump verdict and his boss’s reaction to it. After whining that the 2024 Presidential Election was not a normal one because of Trump’s supposed threat to democracy, he stated that Joe Biden will end the threat of Donald Trump “once and for all.”
While some will say Tyler was speaking from a political standpoint, Trump supporters might draw a different conclusion.

TYLER: This is not a normal election, Donald Trump has already demonstrated he is not a normal candidate. He is a fundamental, persistent, and growing threat to our democracy.
And is Joe Biden is running to make sure we end that threat once and for all.
Imagine if a Trump campaign spokesperson had said something similar. Not only would the corporate press have raked that person over the coals, but the FBI would also likely get involved.
Veiled threats against Trump and his supporters, however, are not only tolerated but celebrated.

Had been demanding details about ‘internal communications and records’
The top law enforcement agent in Washington state, the attorney general, has called a halt to his own extremist campaign against two faith-based, pro-life nonprofits after being told his “investigation” was illegal.
Officials with ADF explain that AG Bob Ferguson had been demanding privileged records and international documents from Obria Group and Obria Medical Clinics.
He had singled them out for targeting because he disagreed with their “life-affirming views,” the organization explained.
“No one should be investigated by the government simply because they hold views the government doesn’t like. We’re pleased Washington’s attorney general has ceased his unlawful investigation into our clients, and that Obria Group and Obria Medical Clinics PNW will be free to continue their life-saving work in the community,” explained Lincoln Wilson, a lawyer with ADF.
“We look forward to a ruling from the court confirming that the attorney general unlawfully targeted and harassed these clinics because of their pro-life stance. The Constitution protects Obria medical clinics, and all other pro-life organizations, to freely speak their beliefs, exercise their faith, and continue compassionately serving women and couples facing difficult pregnancy circumstances,” he said.
ADF had brought a lawsuit against Ferguson, prompting him to shut down his review.
Ferguson previously had claimed that he wasn’t harming the clinics.
However, the ADF report revealed, “one of the clinics showed that Ferguson’s investigation caused it to lose insurance coverage and to pay seven times more for replacement coverage.”
That prompted Ferguson to formally close his investigation.
His demands had included that the organizations provide documentation, “for a time period exceeding 13 years,” as well as answers to various questions for Ferguson’s investigation into “possible” consumer protection violations.
The broadside against the organizations was just part of what appears to be a nationwide move to bludgeon pro-life centers.
Attorneys general from New Jersey and California also have created controversy because of their lawsuits against pro-lifers.
They claim that the centers are “misleading” women about abortion.
Earlier, the ADF’s Gabriella McIntyre told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “We’re seeing this as part of a larger trend of hostility towards pro-life organizations and particularly towards pro-life pregnancy centers across the nation.
“These attorneys general are targeting and harassing pregnancy centers, because of their religious and pro-life views. They are using their consumer protection authority to accomplish their purpose, which is clearly to divert and impede the mission of these organizations to serve women and families, and instead shift their focus to complying with these unfounded and unjustified demands.”

Researchers at Oxford University evaluated over one million English children aged 5 to 11 and adolescents aged 12 to 15 for incidents of myocarditis and pericarditis in relation to the COVID-19 infection and the COVID-19 vaccine.
According to the preprint, myocarditis and pericarditis only occur after vaccination and not after COVID-19 infection.
“Whilst rare, all myocarditis and pericarditis events during the study period occurred in vaccinated individuals,”
the authors wrote.
The Epoch Times reports:
The study analyzed data from the National Health Service (NHS) England’s OpenSAFELY-TPP database, which covers 40 percent of English primary care practices.
Vaccinated adolescents and children were matched to unvaccinated cohorts and followed for 20 weeks to compare positive COVID-19 tests, hospitalizations, COVID-19 critical care, adverse events, and non-COVID hospitalizations.
England’s data showed that myocarditis and pericarditis were only documented in the vaccinated. These results contradict data from other studies that showed a higher incidence of myocarditis after COVID-19 infection.
********
Except for three pericarditis cases, all other cases occurred after the first vaccine dose. More than half of the adolescents with pericarditis and myocarditis were hospitalized or went to the emergency room. It is unknown how many adolescents needed critical care, though the maximum length of stay for myocarditis treatment was one day.
Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, who was not involved in the study, told The Epoch Times that the study is one of many demonstrating that COVID-19 vaccination is not medically necessary for children, given the less than 1 percent rate of infection, and that excessive testing for COVID-19 is a waste of resources.
PFIZER KNEW about myocarditis & pericarditis but they didn’t even know how it was caused while maintaining it was “safe & effective.”

Well, most of the population was vaccinated.

Democrat Minority Leader Rep Hakeem Jeffries was on NBC’s “Meet the Press” with cohost Peter Alexander on Sunday to discuss a few topics, including President Trump and Hunter Biden.
“This crime was more than 8 years old. There are questions about the validity of the legal theory, untested, legal theory that was used to prosecute it. Would this case have been brought against anyone other than former President Trump?” Peter Alexander asked.
“Yes, of course. This verdict in the case of People v. Trump was a validation of the American judicial system,” Jeffries responded.

He hypocritically defended the bogus charges against Trump while defending crooked Joe Biden’s public comments regarding Hunter’s upcoming trial as those of “a loving father.”
“Why was it appropriate for President Biden to publicly comment on his son’s case?” Peter Alexander asked.
“President Biden commented as a loving father as I would hope any loving father would do,” Jeffries replied.

President Trump was convicted on 34 counts on May 30th in a sham trial which was ran by the corrupt judge Juan Merchan.
Trump will win this on appeal.
This trial has been a complete and total mockery of the rule of law; due process; the constitution; and the criminal justice system.
Absolutely disgraceful!

Democrat Rep Jeffries has also shown his lack of respect for the Judicial Branch of the Federal government. In late May, Jeffries threatened “Maga Extremists” on the Supreme Court and warned Congress to get them “under control.”
For someone who graduated law school and worked as a lawyer, Congressman Jeffries does not seem to understand the separation of powers in the Federal Government.
