Faucism[1][2][3] (pron. "FOUL CHEE ISM"[4]) is a mental condition which causes one to view bureaucratic "public health experts" as infallible. A combination of scientism and totalitarianism, it refers to the cult of personality of Anthony Stephen Fauci, the current head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Examples of Faucism include declaring oneself the embodiment truth. Fauci once said of critics:[5]
“ | Attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science and the truth. | ” |
—Anthony Fauci |
Emails between Fauci and Peter Daszak which were previously redacted had been released by Republican U.S. senators in late July 2021.[6] Daszak at one point wrote to Fauci:
“ | It’s been a very hard few months as these conspiracy theorists have gradually become politicized and hardened in their stance. Especially because the work we’ve been doing in collaboration with Chinese virologists has given us incredible insight into the risks that these viruses represent, so that we can directly help protect our nation from bat-origin coronaviruses. We’re fighting to keep the communications open with our Chinese colleagues, so that we can better address future pandemics like COVID-19. | ” |
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) refused to release unredacted versions of all emails pertaining to Fauci, defying federal law which authorizes the probing of such records.[6] It was later unearthed that Daszak plotted to directly "release airborne coroanviruses into Chinese bat populations."[7] He sought $14 million in funding from the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA),[8] though the agency refused, stating:
“ | It is clear that the proposed project led by Peter Daszak could have put local communities at risk. | ” |

Daszak also spearheaded the efforts to dismiss the theory that COVID-19 originated from a lab.[7]
Leftists and liberal media outlets including NBC News[9] have consistently engaged in liberal denial, insisting against the veracity of the lab leak theory.[10][11] The Washington Post in January 2020 called the coronavirus bioweapon explanation a "fringe theory" and deceitfully did not distinguish the notion from the lab leak hypothesis.[12] In February 2020, Sen. Tom Cotton vaguely stated:[10]
“ | We don’t have evidence that this disease originated there, but because of China’s duplicity and dishonesty from the beginning, we need to at least ask the question to see what the evidence says, and China right now is not giving evidence on that question at all. | ” |
The mainstream media was none too quick in smearing Cotton. The New York Times and The Washington Post called his remarks a "conspiracy theory,"[10] which The Hill also inserted in a headline.[13] The Washington Post later admitted that Cotton had most likely been correct.[14]
Other outlets which denied the lab leak theory included Reuters, NPR, Snopes, The Guardian, PolitiFact, Vanity Fair, and Vox Media.[11] When Chinese virologist and whistleblower Li-Meng Yan blamed the Chinese Communist Party for the CCP pandemic, PolitiFact claimed her assertion was "Pants on Fire," a "fact-check" they embarrassingly retracted in mid-May 2021.[15][16]
Fauci in 2020 during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic attempted to downplay the likelihood of the theory that COVID-19 originated in a lab and was intentionally leaked, as reported by Forbes:[17]
April 17, 2020
Rebuffing then-President Donald Trump, Fauci downplays the possibility of a lab leak, saying the virus’ “mutations” are “totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human.”
Former CDC director Robert R. Redfield, Jr., a lifelong virologist who served as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director under the Trump Administration, suggested in March 2021 during an interview with CNN that COVID-19 could have originated from a lab:[18]
“ | I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human and at that moment in time, that the virus came to the human, became one of the most infectious viruses that we know in humanity for human-to-human transmission. | ” |
—Robert Redfield |
Fauci dismissed the comments as merely being "opinion."[17] Two months later, Fauci told Katie Sanders of PolitiFact regarding the notion COVID-19 naturally emerged:[19][20]
“ | No, actually. ... No, I’m not convinced about that. I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out to the best of our ability exactly what happened.
Certainly, the people who investigated it say it likely was the emergence from an animal reservoir that then infected individuals, but it could have been something else, and we need to find that out. So, you know, that’s the reason why I said I’m perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus. |

Within the next few days, Fauci quickly reverted to his old stance, contending that it was "highly likely" the coronavirus occurred naturally.[20] He yet again admitted in early June:[17][21]
“ | It could have been a lab leak. | ” |
—Anthony Fauci |
Incumbent White House officeholder Joseph R. Biden has been a consistent shill for Faucism.[22] stating in early June 2021 that he's "very confident in Dr. Fauci."[23] His chief propagandist Jennifer R. "Jen" Psaki has similarly defended the entrenched bureaucrat, extolling Fauci as an "undeniable asset" following the email leaks.[24]
Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, an anti-Trumper, has shilled for Fauci amidst the unearthed email scandal.[25]
Some establishment Republicans have sided with Faucism. In early August 2020, Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson held a special session where he advocated for the institution of a statewide-level mask mandate for schoolchildren rather than let families decide for themselves.[26]
A number of establishment Senate Republicans in October 2020 defended Fauci after the latter was criticized by Trump, including John Thune of South Dakota, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Mitt Romney of Utah, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Thom Tillis of North Carolina.[27]
Liz Cheney, a neoconservative Republican from Wyoming, praised Fauci in May 2021 as "one of the finest public servants we have ever had."[28] She was later criticized over the matter by strongly conservative House GOP colleagues,[29] who called for her resignation from the House Republican Conference chair position.[30]
Florida governor Ron DeSantis, a strongly conservative Republican, has taken strong stances against totalitarian policies amidst the coronavirus pandemic and denounced Faucism, regarding which he expressed regret for not rejecting sooner.[31] DeSantis stated in early June 2021:[32]
“ | In Florida we choose freedom over Faucism and we are much better off for doing that. His lockdown policies were not justified by the scientific data. He was somebody that fearmongered about schools. He did not support Florida when we had our kids in school in person. I think he was wrong about masks and asymptomatic spread. | ” |
Although not directly condemning Faucism by name, Ohio congressman Jim Jordan has sharply criticized the vendetta of Anthony Fauci.[33] Senators Marco Rubio, Marsha Blackburn, and Tom Cotton have called for Fauci's resignation or firing.[34]
Ty Masterson, the President of the Kansas State Senate, has sharply criticized the polities of Democrat governor Laura Kelly and asserted:[35]
“ | Here, in Kansas, people have returned to normal and are going about their lives. Vaccines are widely available for those who want them. Government needs to stop telling people how to live. Rather, it is time for government to trust the people they serve.
Kansans have made it clear that they choose freedom over Faucism. The mandates and restrictions did not work before and they should not return, either at the state or local level. |

The Michael Knowles Federal Public Health Protection Pledge is a pledge that Michael Knowles mentioned on his show named "The Michael Knowles Show" featured on the Daily Wire. When candidates sign “The Michael Knowles Federal Public Health Protection Pledge,” they will be promising voters that upon taking office, they will work to subpoena Fauci to investigate any possible corrupt actions taken by the public health servant with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic. Candidates who sign the pledge will also “sponsor and support legislation” that dwindles Fauci's massive taxpayer-funded salary down to zero dollars per year. [36]
