Letter to the editor: Tired of Fauci's tactics

Dr. Anthony Fauci, America’s covid rule-maker, recently challenged Fox News as a source of covid misinformation. This time, Fauci’s ire was directed at Tucker Carlson and his frequent guest, Alex Berenson.

Berenson is an investigative journalist who challenges the “vax everyone” mandates. He reports on vaccine effectiveness, questions the lack of therapeutic techniques and suppression of medical research, and condemns all censorship.

Our covid rule-maker directly castigated Berenson’s words. Actually, he seems to condemn all speech opposed to his elusive covid narrative. Fauci welcomes censorship of misinformation. Now he seeks to cancel this journalist’s credibility and exposure.

Censorship quiets information. Fauci is comfortable recommending coercive techniques, using forceful mandates and applying shutdown tactics. He is America’s purveyor of autocratic instincts.

Fauci applies the word “misinformation” to “speech or information” that must be, in his opinion, suppressed.

My America welcomes investigative research and reporting. Our democracy thrives on it. The First Amendment guarantees it. In America, information suppression is a poison pill.

Our covid rule-maker is perturbed. We the people of the United States of America are fed up with manipulation and I, for one, no longer have time for the rule-maker.
