[Breitbart] Fauci Diary Shows He Lied to the Public About Coronavirus Fatality Rate

canada-man · Jul 27, 2026

Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) chief Anthony Fauci publicly lied about the coronavirus’s fatality rate, initially telling the public it was 2 to 2.5 percent but privately recording in his diary that it was “more like 0.2-0.3%.”

This explosive revelation is found in Fauci’s personal diary documenting his day-to-day duties in the early days of the Trump administration’s coronavirus response. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, released the diary ahead of Fauci’s appearance before the committee.

In a February 2020 entry, Fauci recorded the number of cases as well as his many media appearances. He also surmised that the mortality rate of the virus was “more like 0.2-0.3 % rather than 2.0%.”

The entry reads:

Tom Frieden called me this AM and we discussed various aspects of the outbreak. He and I are on the same page in thinking tht [sic] this is acting like a bad influenza in its transmissibility and that the denominator is much greater than 34,867 (above) making the case fatality rate (CFR) more like 0.2-0.3 % rather than 2.0%.

However, that is not what Fauci was saying publicly around that time.

During a March appearance on Hannity, Fauci said the mortality for the coronavirus is “about two, two and a half percent.”

“The mortality for seasonal flu is 0.1. The mortality for this is about two, two and a half percent. It’s probably lower than that. It’s probably closer to one. But even if it’s one, it’s ten times more lethal than the seasonal flu. You got to make sure that people understand,” Fauci said.

That same month, testifying before Congress, Fauci touted those same figures yet again:

Well, understand that the seasonal flu that we deal with every year has a mortality of 0.1 percent. The stated mortality overall of this, when you look at all the data, including China, is about 3 percent. It first started off as two, and now three. I think if you count all the cases of minimally symptomatic or asymptomatic infection, that probably brings the mortality rate down to somewhere around one percent, which means it is ten times more lethal than the seasonal flu.
I think that’s something that people can get their arms around and understand. I mean, people always say, well, the flu. You know, the flu does this. The flu does that. The flu has a mortality of 0.1 percent. This has a mortality of 10 times that. And that’s the reason why I want to emphasize we have to stay ahead of the game in preventing this.

That same month during an appearance on the Daily Show, Fauci told Trevor Noah that “the mortality is about 0.1 percent” for the seasonal flu.

“That’s a lot, and we get used to that morbidity and mortality, but the mortality of this is about 10 times that. It’s at least 1 percent,” Fauci said.

Yet, those figures are not what he recorded in his personal diary in that February entry.

Great watch here...At this point we just want them to admit the truth.

Fauci pleading the 5th even though he has a pre-emptive federal pardon.

Wonder what the Democrats and Fauci are trying to hide here...This is worse than Epstein.

I guess if I had been advocating hard for the natural zoonotic spillover theory getting to the bottom of the outbreak serves no purpose.

Most times Congressional hearings are performative, but I do also think honest answers helps Congress and the public understand the issues.

What does "getting to the heart of the outbreak" have to do with Rand Paul doing preformative outrage out of diaries?

Infinitely worse.

We know what they are hiding. Fauci used proxy Eco Health and Peter Daszak to go around a ban on gain-of-function research to do GOF with the Wuhan Lab. Things got out of hand (Wuhan was known to the State Department to have shit security) and then Fauci went into bullshit mode in public, while privately paying off and silencing critics (10 of 12 scientists told him privately that it had the hallmarks not of a natural origin but of GOF). People have no idea what a fucking scandal this is, and finally shit is hitting the fan. Of course, Fauci is a "made man" so he's untouchable. You don't give a guy like that a wholesale pardon unless Biden knew exactly what was happening (in between naps and nods, lol).

On some level, you might be thinking that Fauci and his minions engineered the wet market theory to take away the Chinese lab leak from Trump during an election year campaign. Although this had impact on the election, I am not sure it was intentionally manipulative to this degree.

More than likely, Fauci decided what we should know and not know. He himself decided it was better that we didn't put blame directly on the Chinese by way of the Wuhan lab. It was also important that people didn't directly link U.S. government funding to gain of function research at the Wuhan lab.

I think Fauci's diaries contradict what he was saying about the outbreak back in 2020 and 2021.

Valcazar said:

Seems like your hung up on the process and don't care at all about the information.

As far as honest answers, I think it's important to know what was going on behind the scenes.

Is Rand Paul grandstanding to a degree? Sure, but that doesn't change our right or need to know.

No.
I'm fairly sure I'm the only one in this thread who actually does care about the information.

But Rand Paul isn't doing anything to advance that.
He's grandstanding and pursuing what appears to be a personal vendetta.
I do think he is somewhat sincere since most people don't really seem to care about SARS-CoV-2 anymore.
Even I don't think he's so cynical that he thinks this is going to be some kind of good media distraction from the war and the economy and so on.

I actually read the quotes from his diary stating that privately he believed that there was a lab leak. Of course, he might have decided later that it wasn't the lab or was unsure of the origin.

His public remarks during 2020 were more unambiguous and contradicted his private thoughts.

Please link to it, then.

You mean he would have considered various options and evolved his opinion as more information came in?
Just completely crazy.
Very sinister.

You mean as a public communicator he went with the data and not his hunches until he had more information?
Very sinister.

Why am I not shocked that those who defended the covid nonsense and BS lockdowns and vaccine passports still defend the measures and the corrupt officials who imposed them to this day. Fauci didn't lie. Us conspiracy theory tinfoil hat wearing nut jobs were telling the truth.

The compliant lefties will never fully acknowledge that Fauci was the evil force in all of this. It destroys their world view too fully. Fauci was the saintly bulwark against the idiot Trump. Or so they thought. Turns out that he was the fox guarding the henhouse, and millions of people died literally because of his foray into GOF. The reality is so staggering that most people would rather look away than acknowledge what this evil means to the world.

Now you know why Biden's circle issued Fauci a pardon. This was all part of the totalitarian agenda and global reset. Death rates are excessively high amongst relatively young people. Pure evil was at work during Covid19. Thank god for Senators Paul, Hawley and Johnson for their tireless work in exposing this POS.

I honestly can't believe that you are ok with what went down. You're either too dumb to realize it or you're being willfully ignorant.
