Anthony Fauci, former head of the White House COVID-19 response team, has revealed that social distancing, mask mandates, and other pandemic measures were created without scientific basis. Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, made this admission during a congressional hearing on the pandemics origin.
When questioned by Republican lawmakers, Fauci acknowledged that the six-foot social distancing rule, masking, and other protocols were invented and sort of just appeared. He also stated that he was unaware of any supporting studies and found it difficult to admit their absence. Additionally, Fauci revealed that he had not studied the impact of mask mandates on children.
Regarding the viruss origin, Fauci suggested that a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China could be a possibility, supporting a longstanding theory. While acknowledging that some conspiracy theories have emerged from this idea, Fauci emphasized that a lab leak itself is not inherently a conspiracy theory.
Faucis testimony has raised questions about the scientific basis of COVID-19 measures and the need for evidence-based decision-making in public health policy.
