Dr. Drew Pinsky, the celebrity doctor who once backed Dr. Anthony Fauci, now says America got played. In a fiery interview, he slammed Fauci’s COVID policies as reckless fearmongering that stripped Americans of their freedoms. Pinsky claims the medical establishment pushed “mass delusion” instead of honest science.
The TV doctor admitted he was wrong to trust Fauci early in the pandemic. He watched in horror as lockdowns crushed small businesses while big corporations got rich. Schools shut down, kids suffered, and normal life disappeared—all for a virus he says was overhyped by power-hungry bureaucrats.
Pinsky worked with Fauci during the AIDS crisis and says the difference is shocking. Back then, scientists listened to frontline doctors. COVID became political—facts didn’t matter if they contradicted the narrative. Common sense solutions got canceled as elites forced extreme measures on working families.
The doctor ripped vaccine passports as un-American segregation. He warned they’d create two classes of citizens—the government-approved and everyone else. Medical freedom eroded while Big Pharma made billions. Pinsky says many doctors agreed with him secretly but feared losing their jobs.
COVID rules became religious dogma. Question masks? Heretic. Doubt lockdowns? Conspiracy theorist. Pinsky says truth-tellers got smeared as “granny killers” while real experts got silenced. The media spread panic instead of calm facts, creating needless suffering.
Fauci’s flip-flops destroyed public trust, Pinsky argues. First “two weeks to flatten the curve,” then endless restrictions. Schools stayed closed while rioters crowded streets. The doctor says Fauci cared more about his reputation than helping ordinary Americans survive.
Now Pinsky urges citizens to reject fear. He says COVID exposed how easily freedoms can vanish when politicians seize emergency powers. Medical choices belong to patients, not government stooges. Real science adapts to new facts—it doesn’t bully critics into silence.
The doctor’s message resonates with millions who feel betrayed. They watched elites break their own rules as mom-and-pop shops died. Pinsky’s stand gives hope—that common sense can still beat the swamp’s lies. America’s strength comes from free people, not power-hungry bureaucrats.
