“I think [if] you ask any parent, they’ll tell you it was a major hit on their child’s development,” Cloud added.

A member of former President Donald Trump’s White House Coronavirus Task Force and chief medical adviser to President Biden before his retirement at the end of 2022, Fauci repeatedly called for strict social distancing, masking and lockdowns but has frequently denied responsibility for the fallout.

“Show me a school that I shut down and show me a factory that I shut down. Never. I never did,” he told The New York Times Magazine in April 2023, when he was asked about his support for the “heavy-handed” policies.

“I gave a public health recommendation that echoed the CDC’s recommendation, and people made a decision based on that,” he said. “But I never criticized the people who had to make the decisions one way or the other.”

Cloud said Fauci had showed an “amazing ability to either forget what happened or then to find ways to shirk any sort of responsibility for the influence that was had,” during his marathon session.

??“They wash their hands of any sort of responsibility, saying, ‘Oh, those decisions were made by school districts.’ But the school districts know, if you don’t follow the guidance that’s coming out of the federal government, you open yourselves up to lawsuits,” Cloud added.

Fauci, 83, revealed to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic that the “six feet apart” recommendation championed by him and other US public health officials was “likely not based on scientific data,” according to Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), who is also a physician.

Schools nationwide remained closed well into the second year of the pandemic as a result of the social distancing guidelines, which were disputed by both research studies and other health officials.

“It never struck me that six feet was particularly sensical in the context of mitigation,” Dr. Ashish Jha, the dean of the Brown University School of Public Health who served as President Biden’s COVID response coordinator for 15 months, told the New York Times in March 2021.

Those “failures” included foisting vaccination mandates on schools and businesses.

“After two days of testimony and 14 hours of questioning, many things became evident. During his interview today, Dr. Fauci claimed that the policies and mandates he promoted may unfortunately increase vaccine hesitancy for years to come,” Wenstrup said.

“It is clear that dissenting opinions were often not considered or suppressed completely. Should a future pandemic arise, America’s response must be guided by scientific facts and conclusive data.”

In 2021, Fauci had also said it was “proven that when you make it difficult for people in their lives, they lose their ideological bulls–t, and they get vaccinated.”
