Bonnie and Clyde: Polis and Fauci Team Up for Propaganda Fest

On Tuesday, Governor Dear Leader Jared Polis was joined by Doctor State Propaganda Minister Anthony Fauci to talk about the assumed COVID spread and death that Colorado would be facing as a penalty for gathering for the holidays. The pair, who both bear responsibility for the rampant economic destruction that has plagued Colorado under the guise of a deadly virus, recommended again that Coloradoans assume everyone is contagious with the coronavirus.

Anthony Fauci is the viral prophet who told Americans we had nothing to worry about, then told us we couldn’t rely on models, then that we didn’t need masks, then that millions would die with or without mitigation, then that masks were essential, then that masks would be necessary even after a vaccine was available. He only overpredicted the consequences by about 800%.

The big reveal was from Polis, who announced that Colorado is testing 30,000-50,000 people a day (!), and he encouraged Coloradoans to rush to testing sites to get tested whether they had symptoms or simply believed they were near someone who might be infected. Later in the call, he told Coloradoans to assume everyone they come into contact with is infectious, so presumably every single Coloradoan should be tested. This will continue to mathematically drive cases numbers through the roof.

During the conversation, Polis ignored questions about his prior characterization of business owners not complying with his orders as “bad actors” and citizens as “selfish bastards” for doing likewise. He deflected criticism of Michael Hancock’s Thanksgiving hypocrisy by blaming Rep-Elect Lauren Boebert for having too large a gathering for Thanksgiving.

Fauci idiotically compared wearing masks to seatbelts (which have plenty of real data to back up their use), then blamed bars for why schools are closed. In answer to a question from Chris Vanderveen of 9 News, Fauci claimed that states without draconian mitigations (like South Dakote) only had similar outcomes to lockdown states like Colorado because people got scared and started obeying. Of course, this was pure speculation.

Polis thanked Trump for Operation Warp Speed, which allowed for the fast development and production of several coronavirus vaccines, noting that Trump’s reduction of needless regulations was a good thing – apparently missing the irony that he is currently engaged in massive, heavy-handed regulation of the behaviors and choices of Coloradoans.

The original narrative, which does not hold up to scrutiny versus the data, is still being used to cover up for the calamity of government overreach in 2020, which certainly has killed (or will kill) more Americans than it saved and continue to ravage the Colorado economy.
