As the indispensable Julie Kelly already observed,
nobody will be held accountable for America's intentionally politicized response to COVID-19.Anthony Fauci certainly won't be punished, even though we now know what we suspected all along:
he knew masks were largely ineffective; that lockdowns were unscientific; that asymptomatic spread, the impetus for those lockdowns, did not exist; that the virus was not bat-borne in a Wuhan wet market; and that it was instead quite possibly manufactured in a Chinese lab.But you wouldn't know any of those things if you've been following
The Science™ as broadcasted by Fauci across swooning cable news networks for 15 months. In fact,
you would believe the exact opposite, because the exact opposite is what the smarmy old man has been preaching to his
Branch Covidian disciples, whom he ruled over with impunity for the duration of the pandemic.
Other than those minor details, Fauci told the truth about everything.
A serious country would jail Anthony Fauci. It wouldn't even be a question. A majority of the population would find it inexcusable to lie to the public so brazenly, and he would be expelled from polite society.
In order to make sure nothing nearly as catastrophic ever happened again, a serious country's top law enforcement entity would bust through his front door in a pre-dawn raid, shackle him, and transport him to a solitary confinement cell where he would await trial. In other words,
a serious country would give Fauci the same treatment it's currently giving the Americans who took a self-guided tour of the Capitol Building on January 6.
As for practicing medicine ever again? That wouldn't even be a consideration.
Comment: We can hope Kunstler is really wrong...but sensibility tells us otherwise.
