Fauci diary showcases arrogance of Colorado COVID response

We are finally getting a clearer picture of what happened during COVID. Not because the people who locked us up, masked our faces and forced unproven chemicals into our bodies have suddenly become transparent, but because Anthony Fauci’s COVID-era diary is coming into public view.

This long document makes one thing painfully clear: the people who forced us to surrender our lives to their expertise did not have the expertise they claimed.

At best, they were guessing.

And when their guesses failed, they did not retreat. They didn’t come clean. They doubled down.

Arrogance unbridledOur health, our freedoms, our bodies, our economy, our children’s education were all less important than their unchallenged status as the infallible elite.

Yes, Fauci’s diary shows his arrogance. Yes, he seems incapable of admitting error. Yes, he was willing to make “majestic leaps” ahead of the evidence while insisting the rest of us follow his orders.

But Fauci is merely a symptom of something more dangerous.

Government is at its most powerful and dictatorial precisely when it knows the least.

An unknown crisis arrives — and crisis always involves the unknown — and politicians panic. Bureaucrats come up with “answers.” They tell us foundational rules — individual liberty, open debate, fiscal restraint, bodily autonomy and just plain sense — must be suspended.

Then they spend money they do not have to keep the whole madness alive.

And with the media as cheerleader, they scare the hell out of people to make sure nobody asks uncomfortable questions.
