Dr. Anthony Fauci, who once claimed to represent Science, the man who convinced Americans that they needed to wear masks, get the vaccine, then booster-up multiple times to avoid getting COVID, has reportedly tested positive once again.

The news comes via a staff email from New York Times assistant managing editor Elisabeth Bumiller.

Fauci, 82, had been scheduled for an on-the-record lunch with the Washington bureau of the Times.

“In what I am sorry to say is an ironic development, Dr. Fauci has just told us he tested positive for COVID this morning,” Bumiller wrote, according to an X post by Vanity Fair reporter Charlotte Klein.

Fauci Tests Positive For COVID Yet Again

Ironic is one term for hearing Fauci tested positive for COVID. Poetic justice would be another.

The lives this man destroyed as the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases with misinformation is incalculable.

Jobs were lost due to vaccine mandates fueled by his public announcements. Families were destroyed when those not vaccinated were treated as pariahs. People died alone. Their families grieved alone.

Lockdowns were justified through the misinformation he promoted, leading to businesses shuttering, employees terminated.

Here’s one example of the lies that seem particularly relevant for this moment: Fauci told the public that vaccinated people become “dead ends” for COVID-19, a claim ultimately proven to be a flat-out lie.

Remember this from Fauci

May 16, 2021, Dr. Anthony Fauci claims that COVID vaccination turns the person vaccinated into a “dead end” for the virus.

Boy was he WRONG and he should be held accountable for his lies #FauciLiedMillionsDied pic.twitter.com/l4bJ0d5Oth
