Many readers have asked to see the Moore memo that Fauci attempted to sequester. Here it is as published in the HOTLINE six years ago:

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s top infectious-disease official, says that something resembling normal life in the U.S. won’t return for “a year or so.” “I would hope to get to some degree of real normality within a year or so. But I don’t think it’s this winter or fall,” Fauci told Britain’s Telegraph on Sunday.

We know Dr. Fauci’s calm approach and communications skills are viewed in overwhelmingly positive terms, but it’s time to note that when it comes to being an oracle his record is pretty dismal.

Michael Fumento, a science writer who has reported on infectious diseases for 35 years, says Fauci has spent “his professional career warning of nightmare scenarios, many which never materialized.”

Fumento notes Fauci’s role in kicking off the U.S. AIDS alarm. Fauci, was sole author of an important 1983 medical article, in which he declared the disease might be transmissible by “routine close contact, as within a family household.” As late as 1987, he predicted the percentage of AIDS cases contracted via heterosexual transmission (then at 4%) would rise to 10% by 1991. That rate never rose above 4%.

In 2004, Fauci declared we’re “due” for “massive person-to-person” spread of Avian flu H5N1. As it turned out, the disease killed 440 worldwide.

More recently, Fauci sounded the threat of the Zika virus. It barely touched two U.S. states before burning out on its own.

When it comes to the coronavirus, Fauci was a leading voice for locking down the country with plague-like predictions of death and destruction. This reversed the policies used during all prior pandemics. Today, the CDC’s “best guess” estimate of mortality is a flu-like 0.26 percent.

Fauci himself finally acknowledged to CNBC on May 22 that lockdowns could cause “irreparable damage” if imposed for too long. Now trillions of dollars of lost output later, and tens of thousands of lives lost to the health consequences of the lockdown, we’ve learned the harsh truth of those words.

Otherwise, the good doctor’s record as an oracle is spotless. One of President Trump’s greatest errors was putting this Paul Krugman of medicine in a position of authority.

We now know that as we warned six years ago, Anthony Fauci was “Dr. Wrong.”
