"Another great interview. Clarifies some stuff that has been obfuscated by US news media.<br><br><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDiqA4SJNpA&amp;t=2h23m46s"">2:23:46</a> Great point(s) about authenticity and leadership. However", your example of Fauci's initial mask advice is a weak example, because Fauci said, right up front, something to the effect of, "we know that masks help but they are in short supply. Most people should let the medical professionals use the masks that are currently available". He was exactly correct. It was the news media that truncated his advice, possibly because they have the attention spans of goldfish.<br><br>A few weeks later, the CDC was back on the air recommending that people make their own cloth masks. Fauci's initial advice was not a mistake; it was exactly correct at the time. He pointed that out later, but it fell on deaf ears.<br><br>Better examples of Fauci's lack of transparency are what he said about Ivermectin (which was nonsense), as well as not saying anything at all about Vitamin D and NAC. Also cheap rapid antigen tests were available at the same time as PCR tests but the CDC/NIH/FDA ignored them.<br><br>If the medical leadership had been honest about those topics," then hundreds of thousands of lives might have been saved in the US alone (before the vaccines were available). Nobody with any sense ever claimed that they were substitutes for vaccines; they were simply cheap and available treatments that were better than nothing at all. <br><br><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDiqA4SJNpA&amp;t=2h26m15s"">2:26:15</a> Tom Clancy's <i>Debt of Honor</i> (1994) discussed an airliner crashing into the Capitol Building during the Inaugural Address (almost the entire government is in one place at that time). The idea had been around for years before it actually happened."
