USA Today Calls Out Hater Bryan Fischer For COVID Lies

USA Today reports:

One post on Facebook is a photo of a headline that reads, “Deadly cover up: Fauci approved hydroxychloroquine 15 years ago to cure coronaviruses. ‘Nobody needed to die.'” That headline is from a story on TruePundit.com, which has no byline and redirects to a guest column from Bryan Fischer on OneNewsNow. The headline there reads, “Fauci knew about HCQ in 2005 — nobody needed to die.”

In his column, Fischer falsely claims that the Virology Journal is “the official publication of Dr. Fauci’s National Institutes of Health.” He reiterated that claim in an email to USA TODAY. “I’ll let the NIH do my fact-checking for me,” he wrote. In the column, Fischer falsely claims Fauci is the director of the National Institutes of Health, and therefore must have been familiar with the research.

Fauci’s actually the head of NIAID, of the NIH’s 27 agencies. Also contrary to Fischer’s claim, Fauci has never “approved” any drugs as such actions are the sole province of the FDA. And the drug that was approved 15 years ago was something else for a different disease. Read the full article.

Now it’s USA Today attacking your loyal, humble, and cheerful radio host. “Fact check: Fauci did not approve hydroxychloroquine as a cure for coronaviruses in 2005” https://t.co/wDcTVFZIsk
