The Gateway Pundit

[Waterboy]

I'd be interested in someone explaining why the MSM is not reporting such a critical admission after all of this time.  Basically, she's saying that horse dewormer and antibiotics may have saved many more lives had Big Pharma and Little Fauci admitted what everyone with common sense knew.  A few of our famous posters here like to de-ride sites like The Gateway Pundit, but it's almost comical how much information they find out that turns out to be true versus the people winning Pulitzers for writing about Russian Collusion Hoaxes that don't exist.   BTW, this is pretty much case closed on the vaccines and the whole Covid lie.  Unless people feel like Birx isn't a credible source for this.

Don't you have a thousand page thread on the vaccine already? I think most realize the realities of Covid and the vaccine these days. Covid really was a problem for the elderly and those with comorbidities and not for most of the other people. Early work on therapeutics including those already on the market would have saved lives. The virus likely came from a lab. The vaccine was rushed and didn't go through full protocols. There are side effects associated with the vaccine. The vaccine was never a "vaccine". It was a glorified flu shot. Oh yea...and masks made people feel good but didn't do anything. I probably missed some.

...has anyone here actually defended Fauci? It feels like this great big effort to convince...who, exactly?

It was massively mishandled and a complete series of s**t behaviors by the legislators, followed by a ton of anti-science by bobbleheads. Panic made the whole country less intelligent, and our kids likely suffered the worst brunt of it.

The jabs did some good...sometimes a lot of good...with the people needing that type of help. Others had awful reactions (myself included, actually), but...it's 2025, now, and there's already an encyclopedia-level thread elsewhere on the topic.

Yes there were many at the time that defended fauci,  because it was the narrative pushed by their party of choice so they followed suit.

The first point here is that this article is a huge admission that are groundbreaking from a person that was nearly at the top of the whole Covid effort.  When we're admitting that therapeutics other than the vaccine work and that the vaccines were never intended to prevent transmission from one individual to another, that's a big fucking deal.  Our govt in a joint effort with the media and big pharma was willing forcing these vaccines on millions of Americans via threat of losing their jobs.  They were willfully letting people suffer worse consequences by banning doctors from treating their patients with knowingly effective drugs like Ivermectin that continues to this day.  Knowing that the Vaccine thread had run its course, I felt a new post on such a huge step forward was deserving.

The second reason this deserves its own thread is that we now can move to a fair discussion on what constitutes credible media sources.  The Gateway Pundit is one of the few sites that you can find anything about the vaccine and was really the only one that reported on something that is so historically significant.  We don't want to go down this road next time, so it's important to learn from history.  I scanned the sites all of the mainstream media sites and came up empty finding anything about this admission.  This only confirms that the MSM is complicit in continuing to hide this story and to stick to their dialogue.  This admission by Birx puts an official stamp on who won the tinfoil hat versus dunce cap war concerning the vaccine.  You still have people claiming that the vaccine saved all of these lives.  I'll let them believe that.  I believe it was more due to a return to common sense and a severe weakening of the virus.  The point is the crowd that routinely tries to dismiss reporting of "Faux" News, The Gateway Pundit, and Zero Hedge have been proven wrong AGAIN.

...on here?

I genuinely have seen no one defend Fauci on the part of VF. I'll certainly admit that the extemism/BS on both sides was and is damaging and utterly stupid, but...who's the thread for? Serious question.

That "admission" isn't all that dramatic, and hindsight of that type is typically a bit of "Cover Your Ass" maintenance.
