02-06-2024 | Newsroom | email: info@pronews.gr In testimony before the House Committee on the Corona-virus Pandemic, Fauci admitted that the two-meter distance rules "came out of the blue" and that he did not recall any studies supporting the directive. Specifically, he said: "I don't remember, it just appeared." Regarding mask use for children, Dr. Fauci said he "doesn't recall" reading any studies suggesting that mask use by children would prevent the transmission of COVID. In addition, he admitted that no after-the-fact studies have followed up on the effects of mandatory mask use on children. The effects of these measures on children are well documented, with studies showing negative consequences for their education and social development. A National Institutes of Health (NIH) study reported that mask use had a "very negative" effect on children's learning and handwriting development. Dr. Fauci also admitted that the lab leak theory of the origin of COVID is a "real possibility." This admission comes four years after he advocated for the publication of a paper challenging that theory. These revelations are expected to provoke further questions and criticism of the scientific approach and decisions made during the pandemic. Fauci will appear before the commission again on June 3 for further explanations and clarifications. The release of these revelations by the Republican committee comes shortly before Fauci's much-anticipated public testimony, where he is expected to face intense questioning about the measures he imposed during the pandemic and their effectiveness.
