Why Are So Many COVID Authoritarians Suddenly Shifting Their Narratives? | ZeroHedge
As if to acknowledge the ultimate failure of the pandemic narrative, multiple government officials have suddenly (and perhaps begrudgingly) started to back away from their original positions. However, instead of admitting they were wrong and apologizing to the public, they are trying to rewrite history and claim that they were actually against many of the measures and restrictions they implemented.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, Anthony Fauci made some surprising admissions on mistakes made during the pandemic. Fauci tried to distance himself from the lockdowns and school closures as if he had no say or influence in how they were enacted:

But show me a school that I shut down and show me a factory that I shut down. Never. I never did. I gave a public-health recommendation that echoed the C.D.C. s recommendation, and people made a decision based on that. But I never criticized the people who had to make the decisions one way or the other.
