COVID lockdown lessons learned – Fauci amendment would mean no more health 'dictator in chief'
Fox News ^ | 3/14/22 | By Sen. Rand Paul

Posted on 03/14/2022 6:43:50 AM PDT by conservative98

This week marks the two-year anniversary of the COVID lockdowns. I join the American people in mourning the lives lost to this virus. I also mourn those we lost to the crushing and overbearing lockdowns and mandates that were based on junk science.

The toll of COVID doesn’t stop there. We lost more than individuals. We lost our freedoms. Our liberties. Our vibrant small town Main Streets. Our children’s growth and learning. For two years our lives were held captive by petty tyrants and power-hungry bureaucrats.

We’ve learned a lot over the past two years, but one lesson in particular is that no one person should be deemed "dictator in chief." No one person should have unilateral authority to make decisions for millions of Americans.

To ensure that ineffective, unscientific lockdowns and mandates are never foisted on the American people ever again, I will introduce an amendment to eliminate Dr. Anthony Fauci’s position as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and divide his power into three separate new institutes.

COVID rules haven't been about science for a long time: Sen. Rand PaulVideo Each of these three institutes will be led by a director who is appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate for a five-year term. This will create accountability and oversight into a taxpayer-funded position that has largely abused its power and has been responsible for many failures and misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic.

No one person should have the sole authority to dictate science, especially when that one person wasn’t ever following the science. I’ve said that from the beginning, and I’ve been proven right over, and over, and over again. On masks, lockdowns, schools, natural immunity, all of it.

Why did we spend two years not following the science?

MY amendment would divide that little monster into 3 parts, fed to pigs, sharks, and rats separately. He caused such misery on our nation, he doesn’t have the right to draw another breath. He funded the very development of this virus, he funded heinous research torturing puppies and other helpless creatures, and he greatly enriched himself in the process. He doesn’t deserve to enjoy a single penny of his very ill-gotten gains. He doesn’t even deserve a grave. Let him reside in the guts of animals and be shat out on the ground or into the sea.

I think it is worse then simple incompetence, I think that Dr. Anthony Fauci has conspired with China and others to make the effect of the virus worse then it would have been if treated like any other virus.

Fauci knew from the beginning where this virus came from since he helped set up the lab and had US Taxpayers fund it.

A full criminal investigation is required and RICO charges need to be brought against all those that joined in the conspiracy to silence and bully anyone that tried to speak out against this abuse of power.

Lost, also, is faith in medical opinions as we have seen so much is driven by $$ or progressive politicians searching for a crisis to take advantage of and, while at the same time, the honest and dedicated health professional are vilified and censored by the agenda driven media, politicians and moneyed interests.

No doubt giving the poor creatures massive indigestion, resulting in a violent diarrhea discharge.

That would have been too obvious

Going until Putin decided to mess with Biden piggy bank and money laundering facility in Ukraine

“sounds great, will never happen.”

Yup. Let’s see the congresscritters get these type things moving when they have control again. Otherwise this is just to say “See - I did something!” without having actually done anything.

Funny we haven’t heard from the little gnome in a while. I guess he finally ran his course with CNN and MSNBC.

Liberals are addicted to handing unlimited and irresponsible power to unelected jerks.

The reason?

Spread the ‘responsibility’ all around, so fixing blame for fraud and failure will be more and more difficult!
