Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:
- In a new interview with The New York Times, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Dr. Anthony Fauci avoided taking responsibility for nation-wide locked downs during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, explaining: “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.” You can read David Wallace-Wells’ full interview with Dr. Fauci here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/04/24/magazine/dr-fauci-pandemic.html
- On Wednesday, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten testified during a House Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis. During the hearing, Weingarten claimed she was unable to recall when she first began consulting with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on remote learning measures because she is in her 60’s and, consequently, her memory isn’t particularly strong. Weingarten also told Congress that she never suggested revisions to CDC guidelines, she merely presented the CDC with “ideas.”
- Paul Thacker—American journalist based in Spain and former Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University—joins The Rich Zeoli to discuss his work, “The Disinformation Chronicle” which documents the U.S. government’s missteps regarding the COVID-19 pandemic including Dr. Anthony Fauci’s refusal to concede that U.S. taxpayer money funded gain-of-function research in China.
