Anthony Fauci to Step Down from Government Position as Head of NIAID, Avoiding Congressional Grilling
Update: The Anthony Fauci Tribute Thread

saintfauci.jpg

As I understand it -- and I might not understand it -- Congress can always call in a government employee for questioning (unless, like Wray, they decide they're calling an early weekend on Thursday afternoon and taking the FBI's Gulfstream to the Adirondacks), but they cannot just call in a private citizen.

They can issue a subpoena, but as the Trump people are showing, those subpoenas can be resisted or fought.

And it looks like Fauci doesn't want to answer any questions about funding the creation of Covid.

Assuming the Republicans take the House, they will assume power in January.

Fauci will bug out in December.

The Washington Post
@washingtonpost

Breaking news: Anthony S. Fauci, the nation's preeminent infectious-disease expert, plans to step down in December after more than a half-century of public service, he announced Monday.


Raheem J. Kassam
@RaheemKassam

BREAKING: Fauci to step down right before Republicans are expected to take control of Congress and commence investigations into his funding of the Wuhan Lab and pandemic response.

Justin Hart linked this email from 2020 in which Fauci dreamed about a movie about himself, starring Brad Pitt:

Actually, "the Fauci effect" is when you circumvent a ban on gain of function research and a Holocaust of lives are lost and the world is thrown into chaos for no reason at all. Also sometimes called a "Daszak fumble"

Update: The real Fauci Effect.

That might be a motivator, but I doubt it's the prime motivator. He can just tell Congress to go screw and there will be no consequences. If you're in the ruling class or even just vaguely adjacent to it, you can lie to Congress with impunity or just tell them fuck off. There are no rules and Congressional hearings are a joke and a half. They're pointless. Nothing comes of them, everyone lies and they're just low-quality theater. Fauci knows that.

But by quitting on his own terms, he gets a full pension, can refer to his decades of honorable service, take his money and ride off to some think tank to extract a bit more graft before he finally keels over. no muss, no fuss. The Administration also gets rid of someone who's outlived his usefulness without making it an election factor for anyone.

They are doing the same exact playbook with Monkeypox.

He has caused SO much death, between AIDS, Covid, and possibly Monkeypox now. The grim reaper hearts him. If the normies both gay and cis actually knew how much blood is on his hands, they would go after him with pitchforks.

In all seriousness, I don't think it's about hearings, I think it 's about Congress' ability to subpoena his private documents. If he's still a government employee after January, he has no right to claim his documents are private, he has to turn them all over.

I'm confident he'll be hosting a grand backyard bonfire on January 19. If you get rid of docs after they're requested, it's a felony, but if you get rid of them the day before they're requested, then too bad, so sad, it's just one a ' them things. Oh and if you destroy documents as a public employee, it's a crime, but if you do it to your own stuff as a private citizen, it's cool.

Minor quibble...

The Uniparty's right flank has been buckling for years. Mitt Romney was their last chance to shore up the popular support for the GOPe, and they intentionally blew it. The Tea Party was down. Mitt Romney could have been president and technocrated his way to an unremarkable presidency of keeping the plates spinning, but no. They threw it.

They've been losing ground ever since.

113 Well Congress would still have dozens of guvamint employees to grill over the collapse of the public health institutions during C19 with respect to "mitigation" nonsense, which caused enormous harm.

What was the basis for the "2 weeks to flatten the curve", what was the basis for flip-flopping mask policy and especially for the recos in favor, what was the basis for the teacher-union-driven garbage about schools? Oh, that's right, there wasn't any.

THIS is the larger and still completely ignored disaster that should be examined, names named, nonsense called out, etc.

But not even a trace of a fragment of anything like it will happen. And the post-scientific degraded society will continue its downward spiral, with grifters and cultish totalitarian zealots wielding the perfect weapon - "climate crisis" - to enslave, impoverish, and control a society that showed how it was ready for docile, idiotic submission.

Most of this is social/cultural stuff, but not all of it. The libs are waking up to the fact that they don't exist anymore as any kind of political or cultural power and they don't exist *at all* at this Prog hierarchy. They aren't liberals, they're radical right-wingers. The Prog world is binary. You are of the body or you're Literally Hitler.

167 >>But Tucker's segment being so negative surprised me.

Tucker was saying in that segment that Oz was down double digits to the brain bleeder in PA. Trafalgar polling, the best in the business the last few election cycles, released a poll yesterday showed Oz is down by about 5. They just released a poll of the Ohio race a few minutes ago and JD Vance is up by 5. Republicans have a very solid shot at taking the Senate as well as the House.

Ah, gotcha.

One thing I miss about Rush, that none of the conservative voices trying to fill the void of his passing quite manages to do in the way he did, is express eternal optimism. Even when the chips were down and even when the news was grim, he remained optimistic in the future of America; that the best days for us were still ahead. It wasn't a Pollyanna-ish hope, but a hope that sprang from decades of understanding history and politics and the nature of people, mixed with his love of country. It was able to help me see lights in the darkness. It is sorely needed and missed.

America has the pandemic in the rearview mirror. Few people care anymore, and everyone just wants to forget it. The cucks in the GOP pose no threat, in """power""" or otherwise. Nobody in charge cares about those pussies or their fruity little photo-ops.

Fauci is a zillion years old and wants to spend more time with his rent boys, and his money, and his torture-beagles, and writing his autohagiographies, and reviewing designs of his statues.

235 Fauci is a zillion years old and wants to spend more time with his rent boys, and his money, and his torture-beagles, and writing his autohagiographies, and reviewing designs of his statues. I guarantee he's been wanting to retire, and now he can without embarrassing the regime. They are permitting him to go, not ordering him to.

Posted by: Dave in Fla at August 22, 2022 12:36 PM (WNqP2)

Jones does have a point. That said, Trump could say the following:

"We were dealing with a global pandemic that shut down the world economy. The only way people would lose enough of their collective fear to stop isolating is by getting a vaccine out there ASAP. Operation Warp Speed wasn't perfect, but we had a vaccine - as promised - before Nov 2020."

Everyone knows that he's not a scientist, and he trusted the people around him. That's understandable. Besides, there is NOBODY on the Dem side who can credibly refute him on Jones' point.

"We were dealing with a global pandemic that shut down the world economy. The only way people would lose enough of their collective fear to stop isolating is by getting a vaccine out there ASAP. Operation Warp Speed wasn't perfect, but we had a vaccine - as promised - before Nov 2020."

309 There is indeed an "excess death" paradox/issue across the western world for 2021, and I think 2022. Excess death means numbers in excess of some rolling average, it's not a normative term. Also a birth-rate collapse in many - but not all - places.

Western medical and scientific institutions/cultures are so, so degraded that it will probably be left up to independent analysts to document how "mitigations" and "non-pharmaceutical interventions" had no material positive impact on outcomes - or even made them worse. Just as during the "crisis" itself.

For vaccines, same-same but I'd expect an even more ferocious isolation of anyone doing straight analysis - the $$$ involved being what they are, and the perverse incentives/ethical collapse being what they are in that particular sector.

They got specific immunity for the covid vax because it wasn't really a vac that went through the normal process, it was experimental. That was part of operation warp speed. But you aren't wrong. There is an immunity scheme for approved vaxs, and a vaccine injury board with payouts for injuries if you establish an event occurred within a certain time from of a vax.

AGREED!! At this point, the left still won't give up their narrative about the jab, the masks, social distancing, any of it. They refuse to see all the deaths that happened because of the covid 'treatments' offered, because of lockdowns, because of the jabs. Their entire identity and raison d'être is tied up in hanging on to the narrative for dear life. Ever try to reason simply with one? It does not work. Fauci has facilitated the killing of millions here and abroad for decades. It is criminal that he gets to ride off into the sunset now that the damage is done and his pockets are lined.

Completely agree. In fact, the Right's approval on the deplatforming of Jones opened the door to Big Tech's embargo on the Hunter Biden revelations in Oct 2020. Once we agree to censorship on one, it's much harder to push back on the incremental censorship that follows. Free speech is absolute.

Did the buck stop with Trump when he was POTUS or no? He pushed Operation Warp Speed, which threw all typical standards of care regarding vaccine development out the window. Whether or not his intentions were good is completely irrelevant.

I'll admit that he was unprepared for the particular China virus attacks and that he was ill-advised - which we knew at the time, and in retrospect, we see he was straight up lied to and undermined.

I will not argue this. No president has ever faced such an onslaught from his own staff, much less the media and politicians.

However, Trump being Trump, I fully expected him to come out swinging and calling out all the lies and propaganda pushed by the media. Drinking bleach and fish tank cleaner, inhaling Lysol.....all that bullshit needed to be called out by name for the lies and communistic propaganda it was and he did very little.

Don't use that as your point. The Republicans promptly agreed to the increase in the Senate after losing the GA seats when Joe Biden became president. That is more Mitch McConnell type stategery than Trump to blame. Trump had already promised it via his campaign.

Effectively, blaming Trump for GOPe profligacy is pointless. They just disagree who should get the checks--individuals for Trump versus big corporations and fat cat donors for GOPe and Dems.

This is the root of the problem. When people are forced to make a choice under pressure, they absolve themselves of responsibility. It it turns out badly, they are angry. And generally speaking not at themselves. To be fair, they were pressured. Socially, financially and with fear porn through the media. So there's going to be a LOT of angry people. Which is why they will probably need to get rid of biden because he was pushing mandates pretty f'n hard. Not sure what is going to happen, but it is going to be an epic fustercluck.

471 Apple will likely always find people willing to work here, but our current policies requiring everyone to relocate to the office their team happens to be based in, and being in the office at least 3 fixed days of the week, will change the makeup of our workforce. It will make Apple younger, whiter, more male-dominated, more neuro-normative, more able-bodied, in short, it will lead to privileges deciding who can work for Apple, not who’d be the best fit.

Privileges like “being born in the the right place so you don’t have to relocate”, or “being young enough to start a new life in a new city/country” or “having a stay-at-home spouse who will move with you”. And privileges like being born into a gender that society doesn’t expect the majority of care-work from, so it’s easy to disappear into an office all day, without doing your fair share of unpaid work in society. Or being rich enough to pay others to do your care-work for you.

The problem with this is three fold:

1) Trump ego does not like to admit he was ever wrong (and, politically, this is a better tack)
2) Trump's germophobia makes it very unlikely he admits maybe he overreacted.
3) Trump is fixated on the idea that hyper-speed developing a "vaccine" is the greatest thing he ever accomplished.

Mind you, usually creating a vaccine takes half a decade or more because of all the testing and adjusting and paperwork etc. Not this one though! Rocketed right out!

Agreed. Again, the Danish government didn't just recommend against Covid vaccines for minors. It flat out banned them. The CDC has been stealth editing Covid guidance. There has been lowkey admissions of a link between worsening autoimmune disorders and the vaccines, and some movement in that direction of myocarditis.

So, what would constitute actually battling in your mind? He leaps off the stage ripping his shirt off and crushes skulls left and right?

The revisionism here is hilarious

503 I don't think Trump is perfect... And I could forgive his missteps with COVID, etc. I like the guy. I can't forgive the GOP label. If you're with that Party, then you can look for another sucker, 'cause it ain't me.

506 I'm thinking that Liz Cheney's election returns had more to with the timing of this than anything else. Although everyone with even the slightest amount of sense (like us) expected that, the margin seems to have taken everyone in DC by complete surprise. They're just starting to realize that the game's up, even though their paid PR flacks are still shrieking for them.

507 At what point did you decide that Wray was a terrible choice. The day it was announced, or sometime last month?

I think most people here looked at Wray with suspicion the instant he was announced. That's my memory at least
==
Hylian was saying that it should have been far more than suspicion. Which is why the request was for the "full throated condemnation of Wray" back in 2017 that he is offering today. The point is hindsight is 20/20. We knew the swamp was bad before Trump. After Trump: OMFGosh. Suspicion of FBI agent, vs the FBI must be disbanded. There has been an evolution, and some people like to think they knew then what is known now.

And the lack of imagination is sad. When you see someone "battling" the media, you'll know it, or you should That is, they'll leave the journalist humiliated. For reference, check Breitbart. Or, on his good days, Newt. The possibilities for doing this are literally endless. Trump hardly scratched the surface.

I wouldn't bet against you on that. Although there are plenty of "catholic' weirdos - Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden.

As an aside, Fauci candle, he's dressed as the pope on that. That particular gear - all white - is reserved for the Pope.

514 Watching Tucker or any news media for political forecasts is pretty much pointless. Look to people like Dave in Fla or a few others that use concrete data markers instead of DC/NY party talk. At this stage in August polling, Reagan was trailing, Mitt Romney would be president, and even John McVain was doing quite well against Obama. Repeat for 2010, repeat for 1994, etc. CW people which is most of the new media are perpetually surprised by events because they rarely leave their bubble and past predilections in thought.

Interesting he finds fault with two topics over which there is no proof to support his contentions. There is no climate crisis. And Wisconsin I believe pulled their 2020 vote certification.

518 Even investigations don't end up doing crap. The only way things like this stop is if politicans who lie and steal to enrich themselves get stripped of all their family wealth. The entire Fauchi lineage should be bankrupted and forced to live wandering the deserts for 100 years before they are allowed back in to society. Politicians need to learn that if they screw everyone over than they aren't just going to be punished themselves, but they'll punish generations of their family.

520 Have you seen the ads on Fox for "OHMIGOD! CATTLE MUTILIATIONS!!!" Yeah, it's odd, but I've been reading those stories since the mid 70's. Just like UFO and BigFoot stories, they never change, they never get any better, it's the kind of thing the Weekly World News used to get a lot of mileage out of. With everything going on right now, I was kind of amazed Fox decided to scrape the gutter for that old chestnut.
Posted by: Tom Servo at August 22, 2022 12:33 PM (trdmm)

The rational explanation for that I heard was that blowflies and predators go for the areas with thinnest to no skin since cow hide is thick in most places - hence eyes, nose, mouth, anus, genitals. If you find the body in the interval before it gets skeletonized, bang, mutiliation.

News You Can Ooze!

* (Wuhan, Schmoohan) Dr. Anecedotal Franken-Fauci, Director of the Wuhan Murder Hornet Lab and Patented Medicine Emporium (Ltd.) is stepping down from his J. Edgar Hoover-like fiefdom at NIH, in a career spanning hundreds of millions of deaths, injuries, untold suffering and dollars.

Fauci plans to open a string of pop-up mortuaries in the fast-growing field of Death. He will serve as Head Mortician for the lucrative corporate enterprise. Just like his last job.
