Fauci Admits to Fabricating COVID-19 Guidelines
Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has confessed to making up key COVID-19 guidelines, including the six-foot social distancing rule and masking mandates for children.
Fauci’s testimony, released by Republicans ahead of his public hearing on Monday, has sparked outrage and raised questions about the scientific basis for the restrictions imposed during the pandemic.

Fauci admitted that the social distancing rule “sort of just appeared” and that he couldn’t recall any supporting studies.
He also conceded that he lacked specific data to support masking children, despite advocating for these measures.
The testimony contradicts his previous stance on the lab leak theory, with Fauci now acknowledging it as a possible origin of the virus.
The revelations have sparked criticism from lawmakers and experts, citing studies that highlight the adverse effects of these measures on children’s learning and mental health.
The House subcommittee is expected to grill Fauci on his testimony and investigate further into the handling of the pandemic, including secret communications between Fauci and his former top aide, Dr. David Morens.
