The blanket pardon for unspecified crimes from 2014 to 2025 is such a horrific act. It's one thing for a President to pardon someone for crimes they've been charged and convicted of, and an entirely different situation to provide this kind of legal protection. I think if you want to issue/accept a blanket pardon, you should have to provide a full confession for all the crimes you're being accused of committing. Such hypocrisy.

Exactly. Fauci is trying to have the cake and eat it too. He wants the pardon while continuing to claim that he is innocent of any wrongdoing.

This should not be allowed for anybody. Change the constitution. Also explicitly disallow a president from pardoning himself.

Fauci should be in prison. He has destroyed millions of lives. Yet he still is receiving a full pension along with taxpayer funded security and a sinecure teaching at Georgetown.

Well, Georgetown so completely predictable. That is actually a stain on reputations.

I quickly grew to distrust and then detest Fauci during Covid, especially after the sanity-inducing GBD. The excerpts from his diary, here and on X, incite feelings of anger and disgust. Fauci is a preening, political animal - perhaps he has a great scientific mind, or once did, but even that is called into question for me. His self-regard appears to eclipse any middling thought he has/had for humanity at large, which nullifies any actual or perceived achievements.

I have had concerns about him since HIV days (I was working in a medical lab at the time) . Kary Mullis' video on Fauci doesn't give you a warm fuzzy feeling either

As a lay person, I appreciate how you explain issues and give facts to back up your information. Thank you now and thank you for everything in those dark years. Glad you're here.

Yes, Jeannie, the lay public as well as healthcare professionals, many of whom lost their minds and forgot all of their microbiology and basic science training during those times. Excellent article by Vinay. Hopefully he will write more on this topic, as there are over 1000 pages of documents. I’ve only read about 75 so far. Alex Berenson posted a link to them today in his excellent article as well. I’m so grateful to Dr. VP for being a voice of reason and sanity during those times when I felt like I didn’t have many allies.

I’m a marriage and family therapist and totally agree.

There is no evidence in his diary that he reflected on the broader social, educational, or public health costs of the school closures that he supported. Disappointing, but unsurprising.

He's never been bedside with a patient. He has never had clinical experience let alone skill. His behavior during the early stages of HIV. Told gay guys to stop having sex. !!!! Stop having sex? A human drive. It took Larry Kramer to school his ass. [EDIT - I have decided rather than delete the following, which is in error, I would simply bracket it and refer to the reply comment below. And he battled with the French for credit (and money) identifying the virus.]

All in all a despicable narcissist.

Stop having sex didn't work. Surely we'll have better luck with stop having any contact at all 😉

"..And he battled with the French for credit (and money) identifying the virus.."

You are confusing Fauci with Bob Gallo..

Gallo asked Montagnier for an HIV sample and promised he would not use it for anything.Gallo then made an anti body kit from it and made a bomb of $. Science Fictions: A Scientific Mystery, a Massive Cover-Up, and the Dark Legacy of Robert Gallo.John Crewdson

Running Burning Man's avatar

Bad memory apparently. I thought I remembered him disputing the French claims of discovery. I guess it was Gallo. Thanks for correcting me!

Drapetomania's avatar

I am sure he did back up Gallo with the fraud..!

I don't think so. I recall a 60 Minutes episode were they exposed Fauci.

Thank God that Dr. Rand Paul has continued to pursue this story of massive hubris. The full story will come out eventually. In 1984, the Supreme Court allowed the Chevron Doctrine to remain in place. This allowed Anthony Fauci over the next nearly 40 years to consolidate an immense amount of legislative power- extra-Congressional power. Has Congress taken any steps to dissemble this ability for an unelected government official to consolidate such unbelievable power into one position? Or should we wait for another Fauci to arise one day?

Everything in these diary entires is consistent with Fauci's entire career. He has been an ambitious, self-promoting liar from his earliest days in the Federal bureaucracy. For those who never read "The Real Anthony Fauci" by RFK, Jr......it remains a stunning and accurate accounting of this most nefarious of federal employees. It also occurs to me that we have seen this story play out before through the life of Louis Pasteur - the fraudulent, mendacious and completely degenerate scam artist who convince European royalty that he was a genius. We are still suffering and dying in massive numbers because of that charlatan of darkness.

Michelle Enmark, DDS's avatar

Exactly, Canute! I have that book but reading it is so infuriating and upsetting to me that it’s a slow slog. Napoleon complex? Illusions of grandeur? I’d enjoy reading a psychological evaluation by a psychiatrist or psychologist on these diary pages. I was rolling my eyes when he wrote things in his diary ( I’m only about 75 pages in) about how certain days were so good, generally when he was contacted by media or got some sort of praise. He’s a sick little man.

Dana Ullman, MPH, CCH's avatar

The MSM is again ignoring this factual information that questions how ethical and honest Anthony Fauci was during the height of the Covid pandemic...and when they do report on these new documents, they are instead chose to highlight Fauci's strong criticism of Trump and the political context surrounding the release by Senator Rand Paul ahead of Fauci's Senate testimony.

It really is amazing how well the initial estimates of lethality from the Diamond Princess (used by Ionniadis) have held up over the years.

Michelle Enmark, DDS's avatar

Ionniadis was a voice of reason from square one, and I remember reading everything I could that he wrote and thinking it made a lot of sense. When he faced such backlash, that was another tick in the growing column of why I didn’t trust anything the legacy media said.

Barry Stanton's avatar

Fauci lied and people died.

Roy Tinguely's avatar

Very nice and concise summary.

I admit I was fooled by this jerk, but when exposed, his level of cover up and narcissism revealed his true self.

Michelle Enmark, DDS's avatar

Many were fooled by him, Roy, and good for you, admitting that. Even better is that you’re not fooled any longer and you found VP and hopefully others in this space who know their stuff. I’m not sure why, probably a bunch of reasons, but he gave me the creeps from day one, and I didn’t know of his history with the AIDs epidemic, or anything else about him.

I likewise believed he was sharing the science with us at first. But I began watching all the YouTubes by ZDogg MD who brought on all the best and most honest people, Vinay Prasad, Jay Bhattacharia, Marty Makary, et al.

Fauci’s testimony at the Senate Government Affairs Committee can be compared to his previous testimony and diary entries. I suspect he will dissemble and open himself to perjury charges. This may be the only possibility for accountability since current acts are not covered by the preemptive pardon.

Nic B.'s avatar

I like the way you laid this out Dr.! Excellent exposé!

JK's avatar

Narcissist. Sadly, nothing will happen to him. He was the highest paid government official which is suspicious in & of itself.

Birx is guilty also.

Chris Costas's avatar

I think this what happens when old wealthy men make despicable decisions for women children and the working class. They have no reference about real life. This is how the belief in institutions crumbles.

Absolutely sickening behavior by Anthony Fauci in so many ways.
