Dr. Fauci’s time in the hot seat isn’t over yet.
It’s not just the political world that has the mastermind of the COVID lockdowns feeling the heat.
And an NFL star just ripped Dr. Fauci to shreds with just one word.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was one of the loudest voices in the sports world to speak out against Fauci’s authoritarian COVID lockdowns and mandates.
The fake news media tried to turn Rodgers into a villain, claiming he lied about his vaccination status when he failed a COVID test in 2021 and missed a game against the Kansas City Chiefs after saying he was immunized.
During his first regular appearance on the Pat McAfee show, Rodgers took the opportunity to tear into Fauci, pleading the Fifth 111 times before the Senate, blasting Fauci as a “coward.”
“I’m going to plead the fifth… like that absolute coward, Tony Fauci,” Rodgers stated. “Are you kidding me? You got a pardon, and you pleaded [the fifth] over 100 times. What are you scared of, Tony?”
“I thought you were the science, and he gets up there and can’t answer a question,” Rodgers continued.
Rodgers broadened his critique to include the liberal, pro-Fauci media who refused to devote any time to covering the Fauci diary entries released by Kentucky Senator Rand Paul or Fauci’s testimony, where he asserted his right not to incriminate himself when asked about lockdowns, vaccine mandates and gain-of-function research.
“How much did the network spend on that — on my responses every week, on my vaccination status, on Taylor and Travis’ wedding? Did they do even a minute on Tony Fauci?” Rodgers wondered.
Rodgers crowed that he was right about the COVID vaccine not stopping infections or transmissions and taunted the press for wanting to sweep that truth under the rug while also stating his belief that Fauci is an “absolute criminal.”
“No seriously, what are they gonna say about me now?” Rodgers declared. “Now that you can’t talk about the COVID stuff because obviously it was made in a lab in China, that’s not even questionable anymore. Tony Fauci is an absolute criminal. I’m on good terms with my family. What are you going to say now?

Rodgers spoke for tens of millions of Americans who were censored, bullied, and ostracized by the left and the media in 2020 and 2021 for questioning COVID lockdowns, the vaccine, and Fauci himself.
