Dr. Anthony Fauci may go down in history as one of the culprits in the COVID-19 debacle, but even the blindest squirrel finds an acorn occasionally.
On Friday, the architect of the COVID lockdowns speculated in a conversation with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer about the extent of the injuries that former President Trump suffered in the Failed assassination attempt.
Former White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci condemned questions surrounding the former President Trump’s Health after Failed assassination attempt a week ago and found that he was suffering from a “superficial wound.”
“I don’t think there’s much more to it than that,” he told CNN. Wolf Blitzer Friday, after seeing excerpts of Trump’s remarks about his ear, which grazed by a bullet during the Pennsylvania shooting. “I mean, from what we saw and heard, it was … a shot that grazed his ear and injured it.”
Fauci said doctors who examined the former president found no further damage.
While Dr. Fauci is stating the obvious—all of which was already clear to anyone who saw Donald Trump after the assassination, including his appearances at the Republican National Convention—he is not wrong.
He continued, still emphasizing the obvious:
Fauci, who served under both the Trump and Biden administrations, added that he believed the former president was “at peace” about the “bullet itself.”
“As far as I can tell, it’s dangerous to make diagnoses from a distance. From what I see, how he’s acting now and what his doctors have reported, it appears to have been a superficial wound to the ear and that’s all,” Fauci said in a comment. highlighted by Mediaite.
Yes, it’s hazardous to diagnose from afar, but that’s really a pretty obvious observation and it’s unclear why it was brought up in this conversation – other than it’s a pretty staggeringly substantial event and one would assume that Blitzer, who has a man on his show who is supposed to be some kind of medical authority, might want to ask him for his opinion.
But Dr. Fauci’s medical credibility is not what it could be.

Why is Dr. Fauci concerned about what RFK Jr. says about him and COVID vaccines if it is not true?
An injury like former President Trump’s should not have lasting consequences. Assuming the AR rifle used by Thomas Crooks was a 5.56mm, which is the case for most, and assuming the shot was one of the most common cartridges for that cartridge – a 55-grain full metal jacket (FMJ) or a 62-grain FMJ – even though it is a high-velocity bullet, upon impact with a structure as slim and unresisting as an ear, the bullet would almost certainly just punch a hole, much like a hole punch in a stack of paper.
Ears naturally have a lot of blood flow, and any injury to the ear will bleed profusely. Anyone who has ever injured an earlobe while shaving will attest to this. Hence the amount of blood on Trump’s head and face at the time of the incident.
Dr. Fauci’s speculations about the nature of the former president’s injury may be correct, but they are also obvious to anyone with even rudimentary medical knowledge. And that he is correct in no way makes up for the damage he has done to the country’s economy and our children’s education during the COVID chaos.
