Jun 2, 2024, 06:48 PM

Dr. Anthony Fauci has admitted that there was no scientific evidence to support the social distancing and child masking rules implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic. In a transcript released ahead of his public testimony in Congress, Fauci confessed that the six-foot social distancing rule 'sort of just appeared' and that he did not recall how it came about. Fauci also conceded that he made up several Covid-19 restrictions, including mask mandates for children, without scientific data to back them up. This revelation, stemming from a January interview, has sparked significant controversy and criticism, especially from Republican lawmakers who have accused Fauci of lying under oath. Additionally, Fauci conceded that a lab leak was 'possible'.
