Shocking expose of what some of us know on Fauci
I don't know if I'm more shocked at just how maniacal Fauci is or the lack of understanding of the reviewers that supposedly watched this film. As a gay man that lived in New York in the 80's I had first hand experience of the aids epidemic, what it did to friends and colleagues and Fauci's stronghold on the community. I didn't understand the extent of hatred some of my friends felt towards Fauci until he once again stepped into the limelight on covid.. He ran the same playbook the same marketing campaign on how dare you question me. Destroyed innocent lives in the medical community for daring to disagree with him. He used John Q. Public as guinea pigs. He experimented on innocent children then, and forcing vaccine on children now. He murdered people plain and simple murder people for profit and what he calls his science. Anyone that thinks this film is not worth it then you're no better then the main stream media that tried to hide the truth from the public on covid. At times it was hard for me to watch it I thought I had some of these feelings buried from the AIDS epidemic and what had gone on, I thought I was burying what I knew and what my gut was telling me about covid and the lies we were told. This piece of crap needs to be arrested he needs to be injected with the AIDS virus he needs to be injected with covid and he needs to be sat on public display to rot. He's despicable absolutely despicable and for anybody who reviewed this and thought it was a waste of time I'm sorry you have some explaining to do. The this was just frightening to me frightening. - Movi3DO - 7 December 2021
Not so good
The only reason that I noticed this documentary was the huge difference if the percentage in Rotten Tomatoes between critics and audiences. Something must be wrong here.
I don't know much about Fauci and didn't closely follow the updates on COVID-19 politics back when the pandemic started, so I can't say much about the accuracy of this documentary.
What I can talk about tho, was the messy organization. Since this is about Fauci, why didn't they just follow the timeline? They kept jump back and forth between AIDS, Ebola, and COVID-19. I was like what the heck was going on? The first transition from AIDS epidemic to COVID-19 pandemic is an example, and the worst one, of the many abrupt changes in this documentary.
One particularly alarming part about Fauci was his first meeting with his wife. His wife, a nurse, back then said something that I'm pretty sure is illegal and could jeopardize someone's life. However, the story ignored that as just a joke? I guess? That was just weird.
As a documentary that was supposed to explore Fauci, it did a poor job because most of the runtime was surface-level stuff. There was a lot of glorious talking without much deep dive into what Fauci actually did. Not that the information shown is wrong (I don't know), but that I want more.
Overall, a poorly-made documentary that didn't offer much. If you want an excellent documentary on COVID-19, watch Totally Under Control, which showed some wild and infuriating stuff that I never thought a government could do. 4/10.
