In a bombshell interview in Washington, Dr. Anthony Fauci , the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), admitted to having 'made up' Covid-19 guidelines, including the one-metre social distancing rule and the requirement for children to wear masks. These guidelines were followed throughout the world, with governments implementing strict regulations for all citizens.
Speaking in Washington to counsel on behalf of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in January, Fauci told Republican politicians that the one-metre social distancing rule 'sort of just appeared' and he did not recall its origins. 'You know, I don't recall. It sort of just appeared,' he said, according to committee transcripts, when pressed on how the rule was established.
He admitted he 'was not aware of studies' supporting social distancing, conceding that such studies 'would be very difficult' to conduct. Besides not recalling any evidence supporting social distancing, Fauci also informed the committee's counsel that he didn't remember reviewing any data suggesting that masking children would prevent Covid-19. 'Do you recall reviewing any studies or data supporting masking for children?' he was asked.
