Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., released a trove of Anthony Fauci\u2019s diary entries Saturday, the latest in a series of document dumps further exposing the corruption of many of the scientists and government officials behind the tyrannical response to Covid. Among other revelations, Fauci\u2019s entries from December 2019 to December 2022 reveal a man fixated on legacy media appearances, the perks of fame, and the growing Fauci \u201ccult\u201d even as the pandemic escalated.<\/p>\n

The size of Fauci\u2019s ego is no surprise to anyone who lived through Covid with his eyes open. He was notorious for doing home interviews with a portrait of himself in the background. He once claimed, \u201cAttacks on me quite frankly are attacks on science.\u201d Here, for good measure, is a Washington Post story with Fauci doing commentary on portraits of himself.<\/p>\n

But his diary provide new insight into just how inflated Fauci\u2019s self-importance became over the course of the pandemic. The entries are crammed with records of his appearances on corporate media broadcasts and clippings of news stories about, well, himself. \u201cPRESS\u201d is a near daily occurrence, followed by shows that featured the government\u2019s highest-paid official. Though not always related to Fauci\u2019s own media appearances, \u201cCNN\u201d appears 275 times in the diary. \u201cCBS\u201d and \u201cNBC\u201d show up more than 100 times each. <\/p>\n

Becoming a go-to pundit for legacy media was clearly important to Fauci, as was getting to rub shoulders with well-known media personalities who increasingly fawned over him. On Feb. 27, 2020, Fauci wrote that it \u201cturned into an amazing day. Chris Cuomo calls me up and says that he wants me on his show \u2026\u201d Two months later, Fauci discussed the lockdowns with Cuomo and wrote that \u201cChris is being wonderful about saying that the press should not use Fauci as a foil against the POTUS. We need Fauci and we are putting him in a terrible position by pitting him against the POTUS.\u201d A few days later he noted that he was \u201cbecoming friends\u201d with both Chris Cuomo and then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo. On March 11, Fauci described watching a media segment where the \u201cCNN commentators,\u201d including Chris Cuomo and Anderson Cooper, \u201call discussed me as the adult in the room and the person wew [sic] should all trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

On April 14 Fauci had a phone call with Jake Tapper, who \u201cwanted to make sure the interview did not cause me any problems.\u201d In May, Fauci described Tapper and Cuomo as coming to his \u201cdefense on their shows.\u201d On July 1 Fauci wrote, \u201cHad dinner over Jake Tapper and Jen Tapper\u2019s home in DC. Terrific couple. Friendship building.\u201d Later that month, Fauci recorded that Jake Tapper \u201cwoke me up\u201d after he had gone to bed to express frustration at Donald Trump criticism of Tapper. Fauci had dinner with the Tappers again on Oct. 20, 2020.<\/p>\n

Amid deepening relationships with corporate media personalities, Fauci also became obsessed with what the press said about him, copying and pasting a host of media coverage into his personal diary. Such as this:<\/p>\n

And these: <\/p>\n

Oh, and these:<\/p>\n

And there are a few more of those, but the general idea should be fairly clear. Corporate media coverage of Fauci meant a lot to Fauci, in part because Fauci meant a lot to Fauci. But in addition to handling his extensive pandemic duties, he also took time to track the growing Fauci \u201ccult.\u201d In February 2020 a social media trend caught his eye, \u201can amazing twitter storm that was widely and virally tweated to not suppress the \u2018great Fauci.\u2019 I was getting hundreds and hundreds of emails of support. There is even a #freeFauci out there.\u201d <\/p>\n

On March 31, he referenced the infamous Washington Post article \u201cFauci socks, Fauci doughnuts, Fauci fan art: The coronavirus expert attracts a cult following\u201d and wrote: \u201cComplete craziness with this Fauci cult hero stuff.\u201d But, as is known from earlier email leaks, Fauci did take the time to forward the article to a National Institutes of Health colleague, writing, \u201cTruly surrealistic. Hopefully, this all stops soon.\u201d He also said about the article, \u201cIt is not at all pleasant, that is for sure.\u201d Just not too unpleasant to include in its entirety in his personal journal (along with an Atlantic article titled \u201cWhy America Is Thirsty For Anthony Fauci,\u201d which called him a \u201ccrushable\u201d \u201cpop star\u201d). So he didn\u2019t really like the cult, but he made sure to scrapbook the cult\u2019s greatest hits, and the corporate media reported on the cult \u2014 and retained membership in the cult. Or, as Fauci put it on April 7, 2020, \u201cPress still hot and heavy about me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most egregious thing about Fauci\u2019s hubris was that it proliferated even as the crisis he allegedly funded and certainly exacerbated wreaked havoc across the country. On May 21, 2020, Fauci began his entry by noting that global deaths from Covid had reached approximately 10,000 and U.S. deaths had exceeded 270. Then he wrote this: <\/p>\n

\n

Big front page article abut me appeared in the Washington Post. Very flattering. The situation with my national and international fame is explosive and really unimaginable. It is not hyoperbole [sic] to say that today I am the most famous and talked about person in the country and one of the most recognizable peson in the world. Countless profiles on me in multiple media. I cannot even read all the things that are written abuyt [sic] me since I am so busy\u2026.seriously. POTUS seems to be enamored of me even though I am taking the spotlight away from him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So even as Covid tyrants were ripping away Americans\u2019 First Amendment rights and shutting down their businesses and isolating everyone and forcing the elderly to die alone, there was a silver lining: Fauci was getting more famous \u2014 and really enjoying it. As Americans were getting their faces stuffed behind masks and censored on social media, Fauci\u2019s face was on doughnuts and seemingly every television in the country as he documented his rise to fame. It might seem frustrating, infuriating even \u2014 until you realize how important Fauci is. Just read his diary.<\/p>\n
