It’s springtime, a season of hope, renewal, and generally good times. A time to be with friends, family, and a frosty alcoholic beverage or three.
Unless, of course, you worship at the altar of Dr. Anthony “Shut It, Peasants” Fauci. The nation’s chief panic-porn sourpuss has turned his fifteen minutes of fame into fourteen months of tyrannical infamy and it doesn’t look like he wants to let up anytime soon.
Frequent readers of the Morning Briefing are no doubt aware that I can’t stand Fauci. What began as mild annoyance with Fauci at the beginning of the pandemic has morphed into full-blown intense dislike. I don’t really hate people, that takes far too much energy. Intense dislike can be an invigorating writing prompt, however. I’m a big fan.
Fauci’s shaming shtick has been wearing thin for a while. He really likes doing his bureaucratic bully thing during holidays or big events, like the Super Bowl. As I noted in that post, it’s nigh on impossible to count how many times Fauci has been wrong about pandemic-related things. He is revered by most on the Left as being wisest voice of reason in government regarding this stupid plague. In reality, he shoots from the lip with personal opinions that aren’t grounded in SCIENCE, all the while insisting that they are.
What really makes me dislike the guy, however, is the fact that he obviously doesn’t want anybody to feel better, at least emotionally. I wrote in mid-February that Fauci and Co. were going to start using “variants” as an excuse to keep us cowering and miserable, despite the fact that more and more of us are getting vaccinated.
Fauci is sticking with his heavy-handed scolding approach and oh, by the way, he’s still wrong about everything:Last month, when Texas Governor Greg Abbott axed the state’s mask mandate and other COVID-related restrictions on businesses and people, Dr. Anthony Fauci called it “risky” and “potentially dangerous.”
“When you pull back on all mitigation methods on all public health guidelines, that’s when you get into trouble and history has proven that,” Fauci told Chris Wallace of Fox News. “This isn’t just some kind of a theoretical, a point that I’m trying to make. It’s not theoretical. It actually happens.”
But, there’s been no surge. In fact, cases have continued to decline.
And Fauci, proven wrong, struggled to explain how Texas has defied his own predictions during an appearance on MSNBC on Tuesday, and tried to suggest that there might be a “lag.”Yeah, some states that just reopened after long lockdowns are having surges now, but people aren’t dropping dead in the street. Like the states that reopened a long time ago and stayed open, that will go away. The COVID tyrants know that, so now they’re trying to scare the public with something called a “double mutant variant” of the virus:

DOUBLE. SECRET. PROBATION.
Reject the scare tactics. Mock those willing to give up freedoms because a whimsical bureaucrat likes making them dance for his amusement. Remember: none of this really has anything to do with public health at this point. Nobody needs one mask if they’ve had two vaccines, let alone two, as Dr, Mao Zefauci has suggested.
Our governor is removing the state’s mask mandate on April 10th.
So, now I’m getting emails from local businesses, like my butcher shop, to the effect that they, will continue to require masks inside their stores.
They will bring your order outside to you IF you are sans mask, so, you can still buy and sell without masks, it will just be a couple of steps harder.
Utah happens to be very near, if not over, herd immunity.
At the very start of the 14 days to stop the spread, a certain segment of their population “love bombed” their fellow church members of all ages.
Love bombing is a big group hug accompanied by odd gifts and sugary treats.
Our state’s median age was the youngest in the USA before this “pandemic.”
It is slightly younger now because a disproportionate number of the older population got sick and died.
Personal responsibility should not be demonized any more than walking around without a mask should.
People should feel free to act in their own enlightened self interests as regards masks and lots of other things.
In Texas, the mask mandate has been lifted but many businesses still require masks. I have, however, encountered no abuse or chagrin for not wearing a mask. This is, after all, Texas, which still has a lot of actual human beings within it.
Faux xi should be tried for crimes against humanity.
Now, now. Has anyone considered that Fauci might not have any friends or family and feels it unfair that others do and can have them to associate with? Funny how Fauci changed his tune when we began working for idiot Biden (apparently NOT doxxed out of business and livelihood, as Democrats tend to do to most who worked for Trump). He never accused Trump of silencing him and he had plenty of his wrong directives under Trump. But only under Biden has he taken this fear-porn addicted turn, parroting the left’s fear-inducing worst case scenario agenda to control the actions of those who might still consider themselves free citizens.
Forcing people to war masks when they leave home should be ended and maybe its time for all Democrat Governors to Stay At Home until next years election
