The article is from American Family News by Josh Hammer.
I have to admit when I saw the headline on this article ir caught my attention:
More than any other state during the COVID era, Florida was freer and more open. For this, Fauci called DeSantis a “complete disgrace” in his now-exposed diary.
Why?
Because my wife and I were in Florida for the winter of 2020.
Things weren’t normal, but they were close to normal.
There were six foot rules at CVS, but the restaurants were open.
And in Illinois, well, even churches were forced to close.
In Chicago there was a fine for holding church services.
Fortunately Willie Wilson, now a candidate for Mayor, paid the fines for the affected congregations.
Below are portions of the article:
“Anthony Fauci, the public health bureaucrat who became the face of America’s botched COVID-19 response, testified this week on Capitol Hill. Except Fauci actually didn’t testify: In an astonishing act of hubris and disdain for the countless Americans who bore the brunt of tyrannical COVID-era “Faucism,” the mad doctor invoked the Fifth Amendment well over 100 times.
“It’s an unprecedented defiance of congressional will for a man who has already received a sweeping presidential pardon…
“Wednesday’s intense senatorial standoff followed Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) earlier release of damning excerpts of Fauci’s diary. Those excerpts revealed a man obsessed with his burgeoning self-image. Fauci also harbored grave private doubts about many key COVID-era disputes, such as the virus’s hotly contested origins, on which the longtime National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director otherwise projected a sense of confidence to a wary public…
“‘trust the science,’ [he repeatedly said].
“Fauci’s one-man reign of COVID-era biomedical terror” is how Hammer characterized Fauci’s leadership.
“Thankfully, not every American was equally subjected to Fauci’s overweening, politically expedient and often-changing dictates…
Instead of bowing to “white coat tyranny,” “DeSantis, alongside Republican leaders in the Florida Legislature, acted in heroic fashion during COVID…
“DeSantis…concluded that the dissenters from groupthink orthodoxy…were right: COVID-19 did not necessitate the draconian policy responses demanded by the biomedical clerisy.”
Besides restaurants being open, schools were mandated to be open and “blocked local governments, schools and private businesses from imposing COVID-19 vaccine mandates in fall 2021”
The Governor Fauci characterized as a “complete disgrace” (in his diary) was right.
Florida “had an age-adjusted COVID mortality rate that ranked 31st in the nation. That’s well above average.”
