Dr. Fauci Gets His Booster Shot On TV With Stephen Colbert And Claims Ivermectin Doesn't Treat Covid And "Could Be Dangerous"

Dr. Anthony Fauci played a significant role in the coronavirus pandemic. In fact, he was one of the most influential, powerful individuals during the pandemic that influenced policy, restrictions, and lockdowns. He went with Stephen Colbert to get his booster shot as a bit for "The Late Show," following it up with claims that ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are useless treatments for coronavirus.

Fauci has been heavily criticized for his inconsistencies (one second you don't have to wear a mask, the next you absolutely must) and the fact that his net worth nearly doubled during the pandemic when almost half a million small businesses had to shut down (or close for good). He has turned into a public figure who is treated like a celebrity and revered like a politician, when he actually has no business whatsoever shaping policy or manipulating the economy. And yet his reign continues. He was a guest on Stephen Colbert's The Late Show, in which he and Colbert went to a nearby pharmacy to get their booster shot.

Dr. Fauci Gets His Booster Shot on TV with Stephen Colbert and Claims Ivermectin Doesn't Treat Covid and "Could Be Dangerous"

In a particularly cringeworthy bit on The Late Show, Fauci and Colbert decide to go get their booster shots together on camera. The crew follows them as they walk down the street from Colbert's studio to the pharmacy, while Colbert cracks awkward jokes about Fauci getting Botox and needing to purchase more condoms.

As they walk past all the Halloween candy, Colbert asks Fauci what his greatest fear is. "A thousand kids coming to my door and breathing on me," he responds. Finally, they sit down to receive their booster shots, and the applause track roars as the pharmacist administers the vaccine to Fauci.

When they're sitting in Colbert's studio discussing the coronavirus, Colbert asks, "Did ivermectin do anything?"

"No," Fauci immediately responds.

"Humans do take it, but not for this purpose?" Colbert follows up.

"Right, it does not help with Covid, and it could be dangerous," Fauci says.

"And hydroxychloroquine, did it do anything?" Colbert asks.

"No," Fauci answers again.

It's painfully obvious that Colbert is asking these questions facetiously, less out of curiosity and more out of spite and mockery of the many Americans who obtained ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine (or both) and successfully treated their bout of coronavirus (including Joe Rogan).

Fauci fails to mention that the NIH now approves of ivermectin being used in clinical trials and is considering ivermectin as an official treatment for coronavirus.

At this point, it's no secret why there is so much distrust of public health organizations and officials who have gaslit Americans for the past two years about what treatments are appropriate for coronavirus and how to best protect yourself against the virus. Even the fact that Fauci and Colbert performed the uncomfortable gimmick of going to get their boosters together is a clear indication that Hollywood and the federal government are doing everything they can to convince you to get your booster shot. Naturally, the mainstream media covered this bit with much enthusiasm and praise, calling the clip "the funniest 6 minutes you'll see today" and a "booster playdate." Make no doubt there's a coordinated effort to keep you complicit so you just keep taking booster after booster, remaining terrified of a virus that has a 99.99% survival rate.
