(laughing) I just was remembering a monologue where he was talking (laughing) about the media trying to make Fauci president. I remember this and, &#8220;Oh, Fauci!&#8221; So despite the fact that there is the Moderna mRNA injection and the Pfizer mRNA injection, and the paper says:<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t gonna give you immunity, it will make the sickness less bad if you get it, this is still being pushed. Fauci is saying (impression), &#8220;There are things, even if you\u2019re vaccinated, you\u2019re not gonna be able to do in society. For example, you know, indoor dining, theaters, places where people congregate.&#8221; He even said, &#8220;I don\u2019t know if grandmas can hug their kids anymore, the grandkids.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, Rush Limbaugh gave us the most understandable and durable explanation of what the deep state is and who it is &#8212; and, of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2021\/01\/22\/pointing-out-the-hypocrisy-of-the-infallible-dr-fauci\/\">Rush was on to Tony Fauci.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-382935\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-20201-022421-Covid-BW.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-20201-022421-Covid-BW.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-20201-022421-Covid-BW-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-20201-022421-Covid-BW-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: Well, let\u2019s go to back, shall we? Here is Dr. Fauci January 21st, 2020, a year ago. He\u2019s on Newsmax TV\u2019s Greg Kelly Reports. Greg Kelly\u2019s question to Dr. Fauci, &#8220;Bottom line, we don\u2019t have to worry about this coronavirus, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>FAUCI: Obviously, you need to take it seriously and do the kinds of things that the CDC and the Department of Homeland Security are doing, but this is not a major threat for the people of the United States, and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Do you realize when this was? This is one year ago, folks, 2020, 2021, the years run together. This is January 21, almost exactly one year ago, and Dr. Fauci said &#8212; and he\u2019s got science on his side, he\u2019s now infallible. Dr. Fauci: This is not a major threat for the people of the United States. This is not something the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about. Nah. You gotta take it seriously, but it isn\u2019t of any concern.<\/p>\n<p>So, you\u2019re the American, you\u2019re being told that this guy knows more than anybody else about this, and this guy\u2019s telling you, you don\u2019t have a thing to worry about. You want to talk about costing lives? Donald Trump never told anybody don\u2019t worry about it like Dr. Fauci did. Dr. Fauci, with the imprimatur of expertise, is saying to people, you don\u2019t have a thing to worry about, one year ago. And let\u2019s jump forward to March, March the 8th 2020 on 60 Minutes, the chief medical correspondent, Dr. Jon LaPook interviewed Dr. Fauci, asked him, &#8220;There\u2019s a lot of confusion around people and misinformation surrounding face masks. Can you discuss that, Dr. Fauci?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>FAUCI: The masks are important for someone who\u2019s infected to prevent them from infecting someone else. Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.<\/p>\n<p>LAPOOK: You\u2019re sure of it? &#8216;Cause people are listening really closely to this.<\/p>\n<p>FAUCI: There\u2019s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you\u2019re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet. But it\u2019s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And often there are unintended consequences. People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-343433\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-041020-Covid-Fauci.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-041020-Covid-Fauci.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-041020-Covid-Fauci-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-041020-Covid-Fauci-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: Wow. So, back in March of 2020 you don\u2019t need to be wearing a mask. You really don\u2019t need to, there\u2019s no reason to be walking around with a mask on. When you\u2019re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing the mask might make you feel better, might even block a droplet, but it\u2019s not providing the protection people think it is. Now where are we? We have a mandated national mask policy if you\u2019re on federal property, except if you\u2019re Biden you don\u2019t have to wear the mask when you\u2019re celebrating at the Lincoln Memorial, but everybody else has to have it.<\/p>\n<p>But back in March the infallible Dr. Fauci, nah, you don\u2019t need to wear it. It\u2019s just giving you a false sense of security. Now, my friends, I want you to know I am on the outside guardrails of protection here because criticizing Dr. Fauci is close to criticizing Biden. You\u2019re not supposed to do that. I\u2019ve gotten very, very close to this by pointing out this hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<p>TODD: Ha-ha. Everybody just join me in remembering no one&#8230; Look, I don\u2019t want to get back into memorializing our friend. We did that last week. But no one&#8230; Can I lift the mask off for a second as a talk show host? I do radio every day. I\u2019ve played those clips many times. I can\u2019t do it like that. No one combined seriousness and humor and mockery and facts that way. There\u2019s so much to continue to hear of Rush\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TODD: Rush Limbaugh gave us the most understandable and durable explanation of what the deep state is and who it is &#8212; and, of course, Rush was on to Tony Fauci.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":382935,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
