The Unmasking of Dr. Anthony Fauci. Ethics Villain
July 29, 2026 / Jack Marshall

It was suggested that I lead this post off with this now well-circulated 
meme…


…but to me, it is too kindly and trivializes the villainy of the man. 
The old Ethics Alarms reliable, the unmasking of Lon Cheney in “The 
Phantom of the Opera,” better expresses just how repugnant his conduct 
has been.

If you are shocked—shocked!—to learn that Fauci is a celebrity-obsessed 
liar and unapologetic villain, you haven’t been paying attention or you 
just aren’t very bright. You certainly haven’t been following Ethics 
Alarms very long. I’m embarrassed that it took me as long as it did to 
write a full post about how despicable Fauci was, though by mid-summer 
2020 I had figured it all out thanks to the photo of him maskless with 
two companions at a Nationals baseball game, where he had ostentatiously 
thrown out the first pitch (like a little girl) while wearing his 
virtue-signaling mask at least 60 feet from any other human being.

Here is Fauci’s EA dossier, more negative than that of almost any public 
figure, including the Clintons. I already took a victory lap for pegging 
Fauci for what he was this April, so I will spare you another “I told 
you so.” That month, Anthony Fauci’s former adviser David Morens was 
indicted and charged with one count of conspiracy, two counts of 
destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal 
investigations and two counts of concealment, removal, or mutilation of 
records relating to the origins of the Wuhan virus. He faces up to 51 
years in prison. I wrote, “If Morens is guilty so is Fauci, who denied 
under oath that he funded ‘gain of function’ experiments that modified 
bat coronaviruses in the same city where the pandemic started.”

Sen. Rand Paul came to the same conclusion, not that it was elusive. In 
his excellent recitation of Fauci’s betrayal of trust and the public 
this morning as the doctor who proclaimed himself the personification of 
science was called to account, Paul said in part,

“There will be another pandemic. There will be another crisis. And there 
will again be officials that insist uncertainty must be hidden for the 
public’s own good. They will demand obedience. They will invoke science. 
“I am the science!” as though it were a commandment. They will argue 
that government officials cannot be questioned, because questioning them 
would undermine public trust. They have it backwards. It is secrecy that 
destroys trust. It is arrogance that destroys trust. It is censorship 
that destroys trust. And it is the refusal to admit error that destroys 
trust. That loss of trust may be your most damaging legacy.”


The Senator is wrong: that loss of trust is Fauci’s most positive 
legacy. Americans were foolish to place the trust they did into experts, 
scientists just being among the most unworthy. They are all human 
beings, they are corruptible, usually greedy and, as Paul notes, 
arrogant. We should never have trusted them with the blind confidence 
that Fauci demanded, just as we have learned—I hope—that we can’t trust 
journalists, educators, professors, historians, journalists (duh), 
lawyers, and, as I have recently learned to my sorrow, legal ethicists. 
Fauci was so blazingly confident in his scam that he gave the nation a 
lesson it should never forget.

I wish I could say will never forget.

Yesterday the frosting on this unethical cake was the revelations in 
Fauci’s diary. They included evidence that he knew that the Wuhan virus 
had probably not escaped from a “wet market” as he was telling the news 
media and others, that his assertions to the public were deliberately 
more certain-sounding than they were in fact, and he giddily reveled in 
his fame and popularity, as in this passage:


He bragged about being “mobbed by groupies” and humbly lamented that 
“millions” of people love him. The diary reveals Fauci as a small man 
drunk on power and influence.

In another entry, Fauci wrote about suffering a pulmonary infarction, 
which is one of the adverse events NIH, CDC, and FDA said were risks of 
the vaccine. Fauci had been vaccinated at a very public press 
conference, then five months later had the health event. It was covered 
up. His diary proves that he knew the risk of death from the Wuhan virus 
was about 0.2% in the general population, meaning it was even lower 
among the young and healthy; nevertheless he urged vaccinations for 
everyone, including infants.

Fauci wrote about how much the stock market dropped when he said that 
the pandemic was ten times more deadly than the flu. The same day he 
wrote another entry saying that he believed it was no more dangerous 
than the flu. He has denied that he was responsible for schools closing. 
His diary boasts…


HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy wrote, “He lied about masks. He lied about 
social distancing. He lied about transmission. He lied about natural 
immunity. He lied about the vaccine’s capacity to prevent infection.” 
All true. Here is another telling entry:


Trump was right. Not to be conspiratorial, but I wonder who those loving 
people were that Fauci cared about? The main beneficiaries of killing 
President Trump’s economy and getting a demented puppet into the White 
House, mayhap, with the help of the most corrupted election this century?

It was telling that Dr. Fauci began the hearing by saying that it “pains 
me” to invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination. He 
accused Paul, who convened today’s hearing, of seeking to lay a 
so-called perjury trap. What utter B.S. It’s easy to avoid a “perjury 
trap”: tell the truth. Admittedly, Fauci has trouble in that department.

Fauci was pardoned by President Biden’s autopen, so he faces no legal 
consequences for his lies and other unconscionable conduct during the 
pandemic. He is apparently so terrified of the truth coming out that he 
prefers to risk a contempt of Congress charge. Democrats, meanwhile, 
again proved themselves shameless and complicit in Fauci’s machinations, 
incredibly praising Fauci as a hero despite the mountains of evidence 
proving his villainy and its terrible and lasting consequences. As Sen. 
Paul said in his opening statement,

“Children lost years of education, small businesses built over a 
lifetime disappeared, patients delayed cancer screenings and other 
medical care, families were separated from dying relatives, workers were 
ordered to accept a medical procedure or lose their jobs, worship 
assembly, employment, education, and travel were restricted in the name 
of science.”

Among the businesses killed by Fauci’s lies was mine; among the 
casualties of his lockdown was my wife. As I have said, however, I was 
on to Fauci long before the results of his actions started directly 
affecting me. As I wrote in April,

“…Ethics Alarms (and many commenters here) had taken the position that 
the lockdown of the schools and the economy was a near suicidal act made 
politically unavoidable by the teachers unions, the news media and the 
“experts” who were, like Fauci, asserting dire consequences as “science” 
when they were in fact only guesses or worse, deliberate lies to advance 
a partisan agenda. The mask nearly fell off when the same “experts” [who 
had] insisted that white people avoid groups larger than five declared 
that there was an exception for George Floyd mobs because, see, racism 
is a public health threat. It was, or should have been, so obvious what 
was going on, but Fauci played saintly doctor beautifully, bolstered by 
Axis propaganda…”

Well, the mask is finally off. And Lon Cheney can’t compete with the 
ugliness revealed beneath.
