Anthony Fauci served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 through 2022. He was the de facto representative of the public health response in the United States during the 2019 Novel Coronavirus pandemic — but Fauci admits that some of his recommendations were not based on science.
Fauci Admits Recommendations Not Based On Science During the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Pandemic
The transcript from an interview with Fauci from January of 2024 — which lasted approximately 14 hours over two days — was recently released by Brad Wenstrup, who is both the chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic and a representative of Congress who serves the second district in Ohio. He earned his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree at the Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine of Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science.
According to this official memorandum with regard to the following topics that were asked of Fauci during that interview:
- Social Distancing: The “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation forced on citizens of the United States by federal health officials was arbitrary and not based on science.
- Masking: Fauci testified that he did not recall any supporting evidence for requiring that children wear masks.
- Travel Restrictions: Fauci unequivocally agreed with every travel restriction issued by the Trump Administration at the height of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus pandemic.
- Vaccine Mandates: Fauci admitted that vaccine mandates during the 2019 Novel Coronavirus pandemic could increase vaccine hesitancy in the future. He also claimed that these mandates were not sufficiently studied ahead of the pandemic.
- Laboratory Leak Theory: Fauci acknowledged that the lab leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory.
- Gain-of-Function Research: Fauci repeatedly played semantics with the definition of “gain-of-function” research in an effort to avoid conceding that the National Institute of Health of the United States funded this dangerous research in China.
- Conflicts of Interest: Fauci claimed that his staff had no conflicts of interest regarding the origins of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus; yet his senior advisor — David Morens — was “best-friends” with disgraced and soon-to-be debarred Peter Daszak, who was president of EcoHealth Alliance.
- Grant Approval: Dr. Fauci testified that he signed off on every foreign and domestic grant of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases without reviewing the proposals. He was also unable to confirm if the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has any mechanisms to conduct oversight of the foreign laboratories which they fund.
- Feigned Ignorance: Fauci claimed greater than one hundred times that he “did not recall” numerous issues and events surrounding the pandemic.
The Committee On Oversight and Accountability of the House of Representatives of the United States held a hearing with Fauci earlier today, Monday, June 3, 2024 and released this document of the testimony and remarks by Fauci.
“Americans were aggressively bullied, shamed and silenced for merely questioning or debating issues such as social distancing, masks, vaccines, or the origins of COVID,” Wenstrup said during the hearing. “And it should not have been the case that Americans were forced to comply with oppressive mandates, when those who chose to illegally cross over our southern border were not.”
Fauci admitted during the hearing that the alleged attempt by David Morens to mislead the National Institute of Health “was wrong and inappropriate and violated policy.” However, he maintained that the orders to stay at home, vaccine mandates, closures of businesses and public institutions, and masks mandates for kids were justified despite admitting that no scientific evidence backed these actions.
Final Boarding Call

I personally believe that the contributions of Anthony Fauci with regard to the 2019 Novel Coronavirus pandemic have done more harm than good — and I have repeatedly opined that in numerous articles here at The Gate With Brian Cohen.
One of the reasons why travel has returned with a vengeance during the past couple of years is that most people could not travel to most places during the height of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus pandemic under the advisement of Anthony Fauci, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and other authorities.
Travel was only one of myriad factors which were substantially impacted by the decisions of the aforementioned authorities and forced hundreds of millions of people worldwide to radically change their lives as a result — including being quarantined to stay at home for weeks or months at a time and wearing masks which were mostly ineffective. People — including myself — have been increasingly skeptical and decreasingly confident of the information that emanates from those authorities, who have lost a significant amount of their influence.
If you are reading The Gate With Brian Cohen, you likely travel more than the average person — and your travels were likely negatively impacted between 2019 and 2023…
…and if so, you should be furious that in recent months, Fauci shamefully admits that some of his recommendations were not based on science.
