As Twitchy reported earlier, Dr. Anthony Fauci is testifying before Congress on Monday, and the Democrats went out of their way to make him feel special and loved. Rep. Debbie Dingell asked about his well-being, seeing as he's "human just like the rest of us." Rep. Kweisi Mfume suggested that we all owe Fauci a big apology.
If you're a VIP member (and you should be), our own Sam Janney wrote a post earlier on Fauci "making it all up" as far as social distancing and masking children. Dr. Leana Wen eventually admitted on CNN that those masks we'd been wearing were "little more than facial decoration."
For what it's worth, Fauci says that Republicans are twisting his words when he said the guidance on six feet of social distancing "just appeared." He clarified:
Dr. Fauci says Republicans twisted his words when he said 6 feet of social distancing lacked scientific basis and "just appeared":

So what was the science behind making grocery store aisles one-way and putting tape down on the floor every six feet? What was the science behind making little schoolchildren eat lunch outside in the cold inside of six-foot barriers?
So he still made it up.

Ah, glad he cleared that one up.

So still made up nonsense then?
So no data to support it .. no scientific data.. no science

He had the power to publicly and definitely say that and put an end to it. He never did. Panic served his purpose.

So, it was made up. How is that different?

Talk about twisting words! Clinical trials provide scientific basis. If it was decided without any proof it was needed, there was no science behind it.

Umm… “the clinical trials that proved it”, is the science part, sir.
Saying that there's no clinical trial is the same thing as saying there's no science behind it. If it's not provable using the scientific method, it is - therefore - not science

I thought he was the science?

Ah, walking that fine line between "science" and "pseudo-science".

“No clinical trial” is the same thing as ‘no science’.
— Truth is like Poetry (@takingwhole) June 3, 2024
Weasel.
So, again, no science behind the distancing. It was opinion that got forced upon the masses.

We still don't get how Republicans were twisting his words. "By saying there was no science behind it, I'm admitting that there was no science behind it."
