Dr. Fauci lied a lot. His vaccines and treatments killed more people than they helped. Masks didn’t work, social distancing didn’t matter, and lockdowns caused harm. He got rich while in charge.

Dr Fauci lied at every turn. His "vaccines" and "therapies" killed far more people than they saved. Masks can't and didn't work. Social Distancing was meaningless. And Lockdowns were deadly.

I'm a real doctor who has treated many more thousands than Fauci. He's a bureaucrat who became rich.

This source is a bluesky post from "doctor-ted.bsky.social" on bluesky social media platform. They seem to express conservative viewpoints. Particularly criticizing DEI and the legitimacy of COVID 19. The post is not trustworthy and has been disproven by multiple studies. This idea originates from a broader covid 19 misinformation movement. Most likely spreading from the distrust in public health institutions.

The claim above is false and should be noted as so. The account that has produced this claim is an account that has less than a 15 person following which can be seen as our first clue. Even stated in the article below, the use of the memes seen on this twitter account and ones that went viral surrounding this theory of the fake vaccine, it is shown how this widespread of misinformation is more harmful than the possibility of what these people are saying to be true.

The claims that user "doctor-ted.bsky.social" has made regarding Dr Fauci's lies and the repercussions of the COVID-19 vaccine on Bluesky are entirely false. The user claims to be a "doctor" who "has treated many more thousands than Fauci," but the only evidence we have of that is the "doctor" in his username. Bluesky is a noncredible website, and the user who posted only has 12 followers on his account and provides no solid evidence that backs up any of his claims. According to News in Health, a monthly newsletter from the National Institutes of Health, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in a study done by Dr. Christopher Whaley of the RAND Corporation, the COVID-19 vaccines saved nearly 140,000 lives in the U.S. through May 2021. They estimated that there would have been about 709,000 deaths without the vaccines. In another article written about a study done on the association of social distancing and face mask use with the risk of COVID-19 in the Nature Communications Article, the findings show that mask-wearing and practicing social distancing is efficient in reducing COVID-19 transmission.

This claim is not accurate for many different reasons. One of these is the article that is linked under this claim, which leads to a highly biased and irate statement from a so-called "doctor" and a random account with 12 followers.

In the first month of COVID-19 vaccines being distributed, according to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, out of the 13 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccines that have been distributed, only 113 deaths have occurred, and all of these deaths were found to not be related to the vaccine.
