According to newly released transcripts of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s congressional testimony, he admitted that there was no evidence to support both social distancing measures and masking children.
According to the transcripts, Fauci testified; “You know, I don’t recall. It sort of just appeared. I don’t recall, like, a discussion of whether it should be five [feet] or six [feet] or whatever.” When asked about any studies supporting six foot distancing, he replied “I was not aware of studies that. In fact, that would be a very difficult study to do.”Here is Dr. Fauci admitting there was never any evidence to support six feet apart and failing to recall any evidence for masking kids during the Covid pandemic (via @COVIDSelect) pic.twitter.com/vTuwGwYATV

Fauci added that six feet was “an empiric decision that wasn’t based on data or even data that could be accomplished.”
Fauci also revealed how the “follow the science” crowd wasn’t following any science when it came to masking kids when he was unable to name a single study supporting it. “You know, I might have [read studies supporting masking], but I don’t recall specifically that I did. I might have.”
According to the Post Millennial:Fauci was also questioned about the studies that have emerged since the pandemic began, particularly those addressing learning loss and speech development issues associated with young children wearing masks; “There have been significant on kind of like the learning loss and speech and development issues that have been associated with particularly young children wearing masks while they’re growing up. They can’t see their teacher talk and can’t learn how to form words. Have you followed any of those studies?”
Fauci responded, “No. But I believe that there are a lot of conflicting studies too, that there are those that say, yes, there is an impact, and there are those that say there’s not. I still think that’s up in the air.”
Fauci also admitted before the committee that the vaccine mandates during the pandemic forced on individuals regardless of whether or not they had natural immunity might have caused an increase in vaccine hesitancy for the future. He even admitted these mandates were not sufficiently studied prior to the pandemic.
