With the Omicron variant now looking to only produce a mild whimper (and possibly become a far preferable dominant strain), the revisionist history on Joe Biden’s “Africa ban” is beginning. We should expect Dr. Anthony Fauci to represent both sides on the matter.
Yesterday, the good doctor appeared to suggest that he was against the initial ban, calling it “knee-jerk” and suggesting it was unethical for countries “including the United States” to put such measures in place.
Dr. Fauci criticizes “knee-jerk” travel bans in response to Omicron:

It is amazing to see the lack of shame this man possesses. Last I checked, he publicly announced the “Africa ban,” noting it as necessary to buy time and reduce the spread. Further, Joe Biden himself, when pressed on the details of the plan, deflected to his “medical team,” claiming they are the ones who came up with the recommendation. Guess who runs Biden’s medical team? It would be Dr. Anthony Fauci. Rest in peace.
Yet, here’s Fauci claiming the decision was knee-jerk and pretending as if he wasn’t intimately involved in it. In that light, it sure seems like he’s suggesting that Biden lied when he blamed his advisors, including Fauci, for the implementation of the ban.
You know what’s even more? Fauci, I believe. If he’s shown anything, it’s that he’s a globalist hack, and I don’t mean that phrase in the generally lazy way some on the right often use it. Based on Fauci’s evidence, it is not a literal statement. He is continually bleating about our responsibility to the world, and while he’s fine with locking down American citizens, he’s always shown an aversion to banning travel from third-world countries in response to COVID-19. His subservience to China also plays into a trend of Fauci preferring the “world community,” including genocidal communists, to protecting the people who pay his bloated salary.
This makes me think Biden was lying when he blamed Fauci and his staff for the latest travel ban. What do you think happened? Fauci recommended again against banning (as he did under Trump), but Biden was pushed to do so by political pressure. The difference is that this time, Fauci didn’t publicly disagree with Biden as he did with Trump because Fauci is a partisan Democrat.
Still, even though I think Fauci is telling the truth via what he’s insinuating, I find his position to be inexplicable. In the clip, he mentions travel bans as being driven by “nationalism,” as if it’s a bad thing to protect one’s own country. That’s the kind of mindset this guy operates under. He’s not an unbiased, laser-focused public servant. Fauci, in fact, is an illegitimate politician who clings to his ideology. If that means putting Americans at risk so he isn’t called xenophobic, then so be it.
