New York Times Columnist turns on Fauci

Columnist Megan Stack Slams efforts to tamp down Lab Leak theory, Effectiveness of Masks lies and imposing stringent Lockdown Rules.

• New York Times columnist Megan Stack criticized Dr. Fauci for his disparagement of the COVID-19 lab leak theory 
• Fauci’s dismissal of the lab leak theory helped make it ‘socially unacceptable’ to believe the theory that is now the majority opinion among Americans
• Attempting to ‘clean up disinformation’ by suppressing discourse ‘creates its own dangers,’ she wrote 

The New York Times appeared to turn on Dr. Anthony Fauci in a recently published opinion essay that criticized the former NIH director’s approach to information sharing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Times contributing opinion writer Megan Stack wrote a column titled ‘Dr. Fauci Could Have Said a Lot More,’ that primarily explored the government scientist’s stifling of the COVID lab leak theory that most Americans have now come to believe.

Stack, a former China correspondent, wrote that Fauci and British zoologist, Peter Daszak, were early to refute in near absolute terms the theory that the novel coronavirus sprung out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Not only was that information not necessarily true, but, wrote Stack, the pair could have qualified their statements in ways that exposed Americans to more of the full picture, but they did not.

Stack further condemned Fauci for initially lying that masks weren’t effective, then becoming their biggest champion, and repeatedly moving the needle on when it would be safe to lift lockdown measures. 

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the NIH, who the New York Times now admits downplayed the reality of the COVID-19 lab leak theory

Fauci (right) with British zoologist Peter Daszak, who was among other things, famously a part of the stymied World Health Organization investigation in China. When he returned to the West, he ‘disparage[d] lab leak as a conspiracy theory – frequently without disclosing his own professional stake in the laboratory,’ according to Stack

‘They could have said that laboratories in Wuhan had indeed been studying bat viruses, including coronaviruses.

‘Live bats were kept in the laboratories, and scientists occasionally carried out controversial forms of research in which viral strains are manipulated in ways that can make them more dangerous to humans,’ wrote Stack.

‘Both men worked for organizations that had a hand in moving U.S. taxpayer funds to the scientists in Wuhan – Dr. Daszak had been involved with Wuhan bat research for years; Dr. Fauci’s emails show his staff had recently reminded him of NIH funding for the coronavirus work Dr. Daszak’s organization supported,’ she continued.

Stack pointed out the dissimilarity between the way Fauci talked about the lab leak theory in private and in public.

‘In public, he leaned hard into animal crossover; behind the scenes, he wrote that “I do not know how this evolved” but warned that he was concerned about “distortions on social media” of Covid’s origins,’ she wrote.

All the while, speaking in public about the potential of a lab leak became controversial, and throughout 2020, one may have been considered a racist or conspiracy theorist for touting the theory.

Those who wrote about it and shared articles on various online platforms were silenced en masse. Facebook banned the theory outright for several months in 2021….
