Fauci Admits 'Six-Foot Social Distancing' Was Based on Nothing During Closed-Door Testimony

During Dr. Anthony Fauci’s second day of his closed-door interrogation with members of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, the former head of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases admitted shocking details about COVID-19. Advertisement

The Committee, led by chairman Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), dove into 14 hours of testimony where Fauci acknowledged that his six-foot social distancing recommendation “was likely not based on any data.”

“It just sort of appeared,” the GOP-led Committee wrote, quoting Fauci. “Dr. Fauci acknowledged that the lab-leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory.”

Nearly four years after civilization collapsed due to Democrats pushing a mostly non-life-threatening virus, Fauci suggested that his “recommendations”—AKA mandates— were based on the desire to control the sheep, which proved that the majority of society is obedient and uninformed.

The Committee revealed that Fauci “advised American universities to impose vaccine mandates on their students,” despite the former NIH director admitting that vaccine mandates could “increase vaccine hesitancy in the future.”

“This comes nearly four years after prompting the publication of the now infamous ‘Proximal Origin’ paper that attempted to vilify and disprove the lab-leak hypothesis,” the Committee wrote.

Wenstrup said things became very “evident” following Fauci’s two-day-long testimony, adding that the above admissions from the NIH official were suppressed completely.

“During his interview today, Dr. Fauci claimed that the policies and mandates he promoted may unfortunately increase vaccine hesitancy for years to come,” the Republican wrote in his findings. “Further, the social distancing recommendations forced on Americans ‘sort of just appeared’ and were likely not based on scientific data. “[The transcribed interview] revealed systemic failures in our public health system and shed a light on serious procedural concerns with our public health authority.”

Just like all the vax claims. Nothing but a shove and a steal.

Actually, I was okay with the six-foot distancing guideline, but not for COVID reasons. There were a large number of residents back in the Bay Area of CA, who seem to be showing up in greater numbers here in Central Texas, who were of the mind that "their space was *their* space, and your space was also *their* space" while in public. At least for a while, these people backed off.

That's no longer the case, except for those who have decided to wear the masks again. They are perfectly happy to walk right in front of you without looking, or to drape themselves over you just because something they want happens to be right in front of your on the shelf. I'm not a doddler in the stores, so it's not like I am standing there looking for very long.

I distinctly remember during one press conference Dr. Brix (Birx? I forget) showed a slide of how the aerosol “dissipates” after a certain distance. That was the justification for 6 feet. It may have been a lie, and had no effect on transmission, but that was what they said.

But they made so many contradictory and shifting claims it’s hard to know what’s true, and that is the great shame. They have lost the trust of great swaths of the American - and worldwide - people. It would have been much better if they just said “we don’t know, we are looking into it”. Instead they went hardcore authoritarian and made stuff up that was patently false or intentionally misleading.

I don't wish him to be protected. Not at all.

As I recall the six foot rule was based on the distance of a sneeze would disperse. On a related note, the custom of saying God Bless You in response to a sneeze dates back to the Bubonic Plague. A sneeze was a symptom of the plague and a death sentence.

Took two years to get them to admit that the vaccines do NOT prevent you from getting Covid..and passing it on. So why even call it a vaccine?? And what was it in fact?? I’d have to say we were all guinea pigs but for what actual purpose??

To Fauci:

You’ll Get Yours
Sung by Frank Sinatra

Like a fish gets caught on a hook
You’ll go for a line, get hit with the book
Like cop puts cuff on a crook
Baby, you’ll get yours

Like a clown falls down from a slap
You’ll fall for sweet talk and
Know you’re a sap
Like a bear walks right in a trap
Baby, you’ll get yours

Like Eve who tricked old Adam
Had to pay the cost....
You’ll get yours.

Did he ever conclusively state Covid can slip right between the mesh fibers of a mask and act like barbecue smoke in the backyard not being stopped by the screen door?

So lockdowns did more harm than good.
The Big Pharma jabs didn’t really prevent someone from getting covid (and led to sudden death from some people).
Masks didn’t stop the spread of covid.
Social distancing at 6 feet was meaningless.

(Someone said yesterday there are still leftover places marking where to stand in line at 6 feet and signs promoting social distancing as you come in some places. Probably next to “We Sell Cassettes and 8 Tracks.”)

Admit to something minor in order to clear yourself of the big stuff.

Absolutely nothing will happen to the little troll pencil d!ck. Nothing will happen to any of the other conspirators, liars, and murderers. Just like nothing will happen to the Epstein rapists.

Not on this earth.

But hey if you haven’t seen Jim Breuers take on the covid scam give this a look for 8 minutes.

At least we can laugh at them and the Vax pushers.
