From Breitbart: Dr. Francis Collins, who was one of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s many COVID conspiracist cohorts, joined Stephen Colbert Wednesday and insisted that America needs more censorship to end “dangerous” freedom of speech and to reverse the “trust deficit” in the wake of the coronavirus debacle.
Pushing his new book, The Road to Wisdom, the man who advised Fauci to censor those who said COVID began with a lab in Wuhan, China, and pushed the “six-foot rule” despite knowing all along that it had no basis in science, insisted that there aren’t enough penalties for those who don’t “tell the truth.”
Appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday, the host asked the former director of the National Institutes of Health, what America needs to do to “get back” to where we once were.
“I think that people are just worn out with all the controversy, all the outrage Olympics that seems to be flying back and forth all the time. The animosity, the grievances, it’s just like ‘AH! I’m gonna have to check out!’” he insisted.
Pushing for a crackdown on free speech, Collins claimed, “There’s a truth deficit. We are in a place now where there seems to be no real penalty for saying something that’s demonstrably false. It’s just okay. No it’s not. We have a trust deficit where because people don’t know if they can be sure somebody telling the truth, why should I trust that person so we stopped trusting each other most of the time, and that’s dangerous also for our future. And we certainly have a civility deficit.”
Collins also wildly claimed that an estimated 90,000 children have died around the world “since the plug was pulled on USAID.”
The report notes that this is a flat-out lie, and that number has been promoted by leftists as a projection, and NOT based on recorded deaths. Therefore, Collins may be guilty of his own “truth deficit.”
WATCH BELOW:
On March 28, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced in a post on X, “Foreign assistance done right can advance our national interests, protect our borders, and strengthen our partnerships with key allies. Unfortunately, USAID strayed from its original mission long ago. As a result, the gains were too few and the costs were too high. Thanks to President Trump, this misguided and fiscally irresponsible era is now over. We are reorienting our foreign assistance programs to align directly with what is best for the United States and our citizens. We are continuing essential lifesaving programs and making strategic investments that strengthen our partners and our own country. This is yet another promise made and delivered to the American people.”
