Oh no, you read that right. The man who bragged that he told the President of the United States when to shut the country down, now claims that he had ‘nothing’ to do with school closures. The quack made the claim during an interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl over the weekend.
In the interview, Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), was asked whether it was a “mistake” for schools to remain shut down for so long during the pandemic.
Why lie? Because now we know how damaging those closures were to the long-term education and mental health of America’s youth.
“I don’t want to use the word ‘mistake,’ Jon, because if I do, it gets taken out of the context that you’re asking me the question on,” Fauci explained on Sunday. “We should realize, and have realized, that there will be deleterious collateral consequences when you do something like that.”
“I ask anybody to go back over the number of times that I have said we’ve got to do everything we can to keep the schools open, no one plays that clip,” Fauci told Karl. “They always come back and say, ‘Fauci was responsible for closing schools.’ I had nothing to do [with it].”
Watch
ABC News: "Was it a mistake, in so many states and so many localities, to see schools closed as long as they were?"

Not only did Fauci recommend school closures. He condemned schools that remained open. He’s a look at a few dozen times Fauci said we needed to keep everything closed. Look how proud he was:
Fauci does it again. Claims he had NOTHING to do with the shutdowns. Do we have to play this compilation again? Apparently so. pic.twitter.com/73L2pDpABS

What happened when the pandemic hit a lull? Fauci recommended that schools remain closed or at the very least, be considered only partial opens.
8/4/20 Fauci on schools:
"There may be some areas where the level of virus is so high that it would not be prudent to bring children back to school."
In clip, he endorses Zoom education & school closures in areas w/ COVID transmission. Fauci has never been for full reopening. pic.twitter.com/eORstr2Lf8

You really need not wonder how stupid the elites and officials think you are. Just look at what they expect you to believe. Too bad for Fauci that this 2022 and everything is on record now days. Democrats can’t hide the fact they they supported failed policies anymore than Fauci can pretend that he was not the guy recommending closures.
