The Mafia Don’s Long Fall From Grace

Most of us older than 10 remember the Anthony Fauci of 2020 vividly, arrogantly issuing his draconian, pseudoscientific edicts on cable news, basking in the adulation of his many Democrat friends.

Often, the downfall of the psychopath is his own hubris, as one of the traits of such a person is an inability to correctly calculate risk; he's driven by impulse, and, as we see in his diary, Fauci’s impulse was to grab as much of the limelight as possible while wielding his power to its maximum effect.

Getting into his head, it’s easy to see how he got lost in the glory of his moment in the sun, believing the good days might last forever.

Fast forward to 2026, and we’ve got the schadenfreude of a broken man, his hands visibly shaking his script as he reads the statement his lawyers put together for him to avoid incriminating himself via perjury (again).

Now, his friends and family relate to friendly corporate state media outlets, which dutifully reprint their lamentations; they’re “worried for his safety.”

Via Washington Post (emphasis added):

The pressure on Fauci, 85, is intensifying. More lawmakers are preparing to challenge him. Paparazzi lurk outside his door, and death threats persist. Clips of Fauci refusing to answer questions have become memes, sparking jokes on ESPN and mockery in conservative media. The scrutiny recalls the darkest days of the pandemic — except now, rather than the government marshaling its resources to defend Fauci, he is paying for his own security*

Peter Staley, a former adversary turned longtime friend, said Fauci is trying to stick to his routine, taking power walks with his wife and seeing patients at Georgetown University’s hospital.

“He’s not crumbling,” Staley said, invoking “Brooklyn tough,” an expression he said Fauci often uses. “I’m worried for his safety. I’m not worried for his mental state.”

This story is drawn from interviews with 17 friends, critics and former colleagues of Fauci, as well as current administration officials, lawmakers and congressional aides.

Several of Fauci’s friends in Public Health™, many of them likely criminals themselves, recently penned a letter demanding that the government do something about the “vilification and harassment of many American scientists” who, again, likely committed heinous crimes against decency during COVID.

Via The Guardian (emphasis added):

More than 155 scientists, physicians and public health advocates have called for an end to what they describe as the “vilification and harassment of many American scientists” by the Trump administration and its allies…

The letter signed by the group of scientists and public health advocates alleges that the Trump administration and its congressional allies are “waging a war on individual scientists, through public harassment, arrests, criminal indictment and ongoing threats of prosecution”.

The letter states that several scientists have come under scrutiny under this administration, but the signatories argue that “the most prominent target of the administration and its allies” is Fauci, who left the federal government in 2022 after leading the Niaid for 38 years.

“The charges against Dr Fauci are baseless, suggesting he covered up the origins of Covid, that he bribed or persuaded other scientists to join his cover-up, that Niaid-funded research sparked the pandemic, that he personally holds patents on the virus, and that he’s working with intelligence agencies to suppress the true story of the pandemic,” the letter states. “No credible evidence has been produced to support these absurd charges.”

The letter adds that the allegations and accusations about Fauci have led to “five-year period of harassment and threats of violence directed at Dr Fauci and his family”.

You might almost feel bad for Fauci and Co., until you remember what hell they unleashed on America — the psychological trauma, the irreparably damaged children’s learning capacity, the destroyed businesses, lives, and relationships.

Somehow my well of tears runs dry.
