Fauci’s Shame Is the DSA Playbook

In January 2021, while pregnant women across America were being told the COVID shot was a settled question, Anthony Fauci sat down with his government phone and typed out a sentence he never intended the public to read. The fever and cytokine response that commonly follows a second dose, he wrote to Rochelle Walensky and Vivek Murthy, “theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.”

That message, released Monday by Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul from a trove of more than 34,000 texts recovered from Fauci’s device, is not merely a scandal about one man. It is a portrait of a religion. And that religion has a second, fast-growing denomination organizing openly inside the Democratic Party under the banner of the Democratic Socialists of America.

The connection is not a stretch. It is the whole point. Both the COVID technocracy and the socialist vanguard rest on the same article of faith, which holds that an enlightened few may deceive the many for their own good. Plato called it the noble lie. Lenin built a party on it.

Fauci texted it.

I will be discussing this in greater detail as I guest host today’s episode of Wendy Bell Radio.

What the Texts Actually Show

The facts are damning enough without embellishment. The texts do not show Fauci concealing proof that the vaccines killed unborn children. They show something that should trouble us nearly as much. They show a man swimming in uncertainty who decided the public had no right to see the water.

In the private channel, the nation’s most trusted health official acknowledged a theoretical first-trimester miscarriage risk tied to post-vaccination fever. In the same conversations, the officials discussed missing pregnancy data, the exclusion of pregnant women from the clinical trials, and a World Health Organization statement advising against the Moderna shot for expectant mothers precisely because the data did not exist.

Fauci brushed the WHO aside. His verdict, delivered to his colleagues in the same breath as his doubts, was this:

“It’s really one of those things that’s kind of not a close call. It really is pretty clear that pregnant women should get vaccinated.”

Not a close call. A theoretical miscarriage risk, no trial data, and a WHO caution on the table, and the man saw no close call. He even anticipated the cover story, noting to his colleagues that “there is always a risk of a spontaneous miscarriage,” a background rate into which any signal could conveniently disappear.

Meanwhile the public messaging machine rolled forward with “safe and effective,” and millions of women made the most consequential medical decision of their pregnancies without ever being told what the priesthood was texting behind the veil.

Senator Johnson asked how many women were denied the basic dignity of informed consent. One attorney general asked how many women lost babies while being assured there was nothing to weigh. We may never get a full accounting. That was rather the point of the arrangement.

Professing Themselves to Be Wise

To understand why this happened, you have to stop thinking of the COVID regime as a public health apparatus and start seeing it as what it functionally became, which is a church. Scripture describes the type with unnerving accuracy.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Science, properly understood, is a method. It is organized humility, a discipline for testing claims against reality. What ruled America in 2021 was not a method but a deity, spelled with a capital S, complete with vestments and liturgy.

The lab coat became priestly garb. “Trust the science” became a call to worship. The hesitant became heretics, and the punishments were entirely medieval in spirit if not in instrument. Dissenters lost jobs, licenses, and platforms. Questions that Fauci himself was privately texting to colleagues would get an ordinary citizen banned from social media as a purveyor of misinformation.

A method can be corrected. A god cannot be questioned. And a clergy that answers only to its god acquires a terrifying power, the power to absolve its own lies.

Within this theology, the noble lie is not a failure. It is a sacrament, administered to a laity judged too weak and too foolish to handle uncertainty. Fauci did not believe he was deceiving the public. He believed he was shepherding it.

The Hinge Between Two Denominations

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

Wise in their own eyes. There is no better five-word description of the mentality that texted about miscarriage risk while announcing there was no close call, and there is no better description of the movement now capturing city halls, school boards, and congressional seats under the DSA banner.

These are not two separate stories. They are two denominations of the same faith, and the faith is ideological supremacy, the conviction that history has appointed certain people to manage everyone else.

The DSA has its own gospel, the inevitable arc of history bending toward collectivism. It has its own clergy, the cadre, trained in ideology the way seminarians are trained in doctrine. It has its heresies and its excommunications, as anyone who has watched its internal purges can attest. And critically, it has its own noble lie.

The public is offered “fairness,” “housing justice,” and “Medicare for All,” warm words focus-grouped for a laity that would recoil from the actual catechism. The catechism itself, the abolition of private enterprise and the capture of institutions through patient electoral entryism, is reserved for the members’ meetings, exactly as the real vaccine data was reserved for the group chat.

I have documented that bait-and-switch architecture at length in my ongoing series on the DSA, and the pattern never changes. The outer party gets the slogan. The inner party gets the plan.

When Ideology Is God, People Become Offerings

Here is the doctrine both denominations share, and the reason both are dangerous. Every false god eventually demands sacrifice. When the god is Science, the offerings are mothers denied the information they needed to protect their children, workers fired for declining an injection their own government privately doubted, and a generation of children masked and isolated to feed a liturgy of compliance.

When the god is History, the offerings are property owners, dissenters, kulaks, and eventually anyone the vanguard designates as an obstacle. The twentieth century buried a hundred million people who were assured the lies told about them were noble.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? That is not merely a warning about socialists or bureaucrats. It is a warning about human nature itself, and it is precisely why no vanguard of any kind, scientific or socialist, credentialed or revolutionary, can ever be trusted with unaccountable power.

The Founders understood this, which is why they built a Constitution out of distrust, chaining every ambition to a rival ambition. The men who designed our system assumed their own successors would lie, and they designed accordingly.

The COVID regime worked around those chains. The DSA proposes to melt them down entirely.

Against all of this stands a Founder of a very different kind, one who claimed the title of Truth itself and told His followers that the truth shall make you free. A faith built on that foundation has no room for noble lies, because it does not believe any man is wise enough to administer one.

Fauci’s texts are one more proof of the oldest lesson on record. The moment men appoint themselves gods, someone else pays for it. This time it was mothers. If the second denomination gets its way, it will be all of us.
