Dr. Anthony Fauci said that disinformation is one of the “enemies of public health” in response to CNN’s Jim Acosta accusing Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan of spreading it.
“The best way to counter disinformation and misinformation is to try as best as we all can to get the proper and correct information out,” Fauci said. “But one of the enemies of public health is disinformation, and, unfortunately, we do see that in some corners.”
Speaking of disinformation, Fauci’s countless flip flops prove that he’s spread his fair share of it.
To start, we need to focus on Dr. Fauci’s perspective on the virus itself and it’s risk to the United States.
In late January 2020, Fauci said that COVID was a “very, very low risk to the United States.”

And it wasn’t just the efficacy of masks in general. Less than a month ago , Dr. Fauci declared confidently that the CDC wasn’t going to change its recommendation about masking given the Delta variant.

Dr. Fauci was a leading voice suggesting for months that the pandemic couldn’t possibly have leaked from a lab in Wuhan (one that received US tax dollars, by the way).
That was until the consensus changed. And then, suddenly, the theory couldn’t be dismissed.

And there are countless more examples. Fauci had even flip flopped on the issue of lockdowns themselves just days before the infamous endless “15 days to slow the spread.” On March 8th 2020, he called lockdown measures in China “draconian” and said they wouldn’t be feasible in the U.S. This was more than a full month after the WHO declared COVID-19 a global health emergency. Days later on March 15th he was open to lockdowns, and that became the new conventional wisdom.
