Fauci is taking the Fifth, but the question that matters won’t be asked: how did he get away with it? Barbara Boyd traces the consensus machine — Lippmann, The Lancet, Daszak’s letter — and shows how Michael Kratsios’s July 21 science proposal dismantles it.
Barbara Boyd argues that Anthony Fauci’s Senate grilling and expected Fifth Amendment stance won’t address the central issue: how he remained protected for so long. Citing Fauci’s recently released diary and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s role in uncovering it, she claims it shows public deception on COVID origins and policy while the media and institutions helped enforce a manufactured consensus that crushed dissent. Boyd traces this “manufacture of consent” to Walter Lippmann and points to The Lancet’s 2020 anti–lab leak letter organized by Peter Daszak as an example of consensus enforcement tied to funding. She contrasts real science’s adversarial testing with grant-driven conformity, references earlier crises like AIDS and opioids, and highlights a July 21 proposal by Trump science advisor Michael Kratsios to redirect federal science funding toward mavericks, verification, merit, and advanced manufacturing, mandating agencies to reflect the shift in 2027–2028 budgets.
