Faith in Father Fauci Finally Falls

"Hmm . . . where did I put my mask?"

It may be the end of an error, the American public, especially Republicans, putting trust in Dr. Tony Fauci from Brooklyn. His fan club has been reduced dramatically over the past year, according to a recent Trafalgar Group poll. 

Participants in the poll were asked whether their confidence in Saint Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has increased or decreased over the past year, and of those surveyed, 42.2% said their trust in him "decreased." And of that group, 12.1% said their confidence simply "decreased," but 30.1% said it had "decreased significantly."

 Among science denying Democrats, only 20% said their confidence in Fauci decreased while 32.4% claimed it actually increased proving that the media is manipulating their inchoate brains. 

Republicans distrust in Fauci hit a whopping 66.1% and of these folks, 50.8% said their confidence decreased significantly.

The survey also found that the faith of Fauci in 34.7% of Democrats has remained unchanged, while only 13% of Republicans retained the same opinion of him that they had 12 months ago due to their more superior organic development compared to the Democrats.

Conducted between Sunday and Tuesday, the poll included 1,093 likely voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.96 percentage points, which is relatively low, meaning the poll was fairly accurate.

You older folks may recall that Fauci was involved in the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s. He believed at the time that AIDS was an airborne virus and could be transmitted simply by being in close proximity to an infected person. 

A YouGov and Yahoo News COVID-19 Vaccination Survey done earlier in May also found Fauci’s approval ratings falling basically along party lines, with 54% of Democrats claiming they claimed Fauci is doing an “excellent” job and around 25% believing he is doing a “good” job. Remember, these are Democrats and everybody gets a trophy.

By contrast, only 5% of Republicans believe Fauci’s performance has been “excellent,” 12% believe it has been “good,” 19% believe it has been “fair,” and a staggering 55% said he has done a “poor” job and were not viewers of CNN where even Andrew Cuomo was praised even after removing the old folks from New York.

As the poll indicates, increasingly more people have questioned Fauci’s competence as the pandemic has dragged on and he seemingly continues to contradict himself, such as flip-flopping yet again on masks earlier this week. 

It shouldn't surprise anyone to learn that Fauci's missing mask was found in his nether regions where his head is often located.

 where more than half of the city identifies as Black, Latino, AAPI, or Native American.”

“Diversity and inclusion is imperative across all institutions including media. In order to progress we must change,” she continued. “This is exactly why I’m being intentional about prioritizing media requests from POC reporters on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of my inauguration as mayor of this great city.”

Critics blasted Lightfoot’s decisio from all sides Wednesday. Beyond the journalists who noted that they were shut out by the policy limiting interviews, Lightfoot faced criticism from a Latino news organization, which refused to interview the mayor after she refused to lift the moratorium on white journalists, per Fox News.

She also faced blowback on Twitter, where racial justice advocates suggested that Lightfoot was likely using the policy to distract from her inability to handle questions of violence. “Lori Lightfoot presided over an enormous increase in homicides, almost all of them in African American or Latino communities, and she’s hoping these PR stunts get liberal America to give her a pass for failing to save people’s lives,” journalist Zaid Jilani pointed out.

Indeed, on the same day that the mayor’s office announced the policy favoring “black and brown” reporters, Lightfoot aides announced that “a compromise plan to make past police disciplinary records available to the public,” essentially turning down a request from Chicago’s racial justice activists to expand police transparency.

Local media reporters in Chicago are alleging that Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is selecting who gets to do one-on-one interviews with her based on the race of the interviewer.

NBC 5 political reporter Mary Ann Ahern made the initial allegation on Twitter, writing: “As ⁦ @chicagosmayor ⁩ reaches her two year midway point as mayor, her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews – only to Black or Brown journalists.”

Chicago PBS news anchor Paris Schultz responded: “I was told the same thing.”

Chicago PBS political reporter said that she could “confirm” what Ahern was alleging.

Lightfoot’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire or Fox News.

Australian political commentator Rita Panahi responded to the allegations by writing on Twitter: “More ‘anti-racist’ racism. Almost amusing how regressive race-obsession is celebrated among the Left.”

“Racism in the name of wokeism is still racism,” another commentator said. Another added, “So wouldn’t that make her a racist?”

Progressive writer Zaid Jilani wrote: “Is she going to do some kinda DNA test to assure she upholds this rule?”

“It is unclear when such a practice was enacted and if it only applies to local reporters, particularly after her MSNBC appearance with Stephanie Ruhle on Monday,” Fox News reported. “During her MSNBC interview, Lightfoot told Ruhle she would ‘encourage’ Chicago residents to continue wearing masks despite the new CDC guidance allowing those with the coronavirus vaccine to go without them.”

“I know for me personally, I’m going to continue to wear a mask in public and I’m going to encourage others to do so,” Lightfoot told Ruhle. “We’ve got to make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far, and masks, I think, are a big and important part of that.”

Lightfoot said on Tuesday afternoon that her decision to continue to encourage people to wear masks was not based on distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“But I think their guidance last week regarding masks has people confused…We need clarification,” Lightfoot said. “We still have a long way to go to hit the critical mass (of vaccinations) or herd immunity. I don’t want people to have false confidence.”

“To say, ‘If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask,’ that’s great. But what about all of the other people who are out there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”
