You don't pre-emptively protect someone unless you know what's coming. And you don't shield a man like Fauci unless there's a whole lot buried under the surface that hope never sees the light of day.

For years, Americans were told to shut up, fall in line, and stop asking questions about COVID and the vaccine. Questioning the disastrous COVID vaccine rollout made you "dangerous." Saying one size didn't fit all was heres, and you were a "granny killer." And through it all, Anthony Fauci stood front and center, insisting that everyone, regardless of age or risk, needed the shot.

Mind you, many people developed illnesses, died, and lost their livings, thanks to the jab. But again, Fauci stood firm: we all needed it. Period and end of story.

But suddenly, that narrative is changing.

We're now learning something that makes that entire era even uglier than we thought.

According to a first-hand account from a fellow doctor, Fauci knew the entire time that not everyone needed the COVID vaccine. He knew young, healthy people weren't at risk. He knew the data didn't support forcing it on everyone. And yet, he pushed for a universal vaccination anyway.

Why? Well, he said it was because he didn't want the message to get "complicated."

But anybody with half a functioning brain knows it's because he and his Big Pharma buddies wanted to line their pockets.

The latest admission comes from Paul Offit, a doctor who worked closely with Fauci and says this conversation happened directly, not secondhand. Offit says he told Fauci that the vaccination should be targeted to high-risk groups, and Fauci actually agreed with him. But instead of following the science, Fauci chose to go with "messaging" instead.

Chief Nerd:

Dr. Paul Offit Says Fauci Knew Not Everyone Needed the COVID Vaccine But Recommended It Anyway

"I said, 'Tony, am I wrong?' He said, 'No, you're right. We should target high risk groups. He said the problem is the minute you say that, it becomes a nuanced message. And a nuanced message is a garbled message. If you really want to make sure those groups get vaccinated, then you recommend it for everybody.'

If we think that, we should say it because my personal thinking on this is then if that's the reason we're vaccinating healthy 16-year-old boys, that's not a good reason."
