I've stopped using the term 'gaslighting', preferring the more straightforward "lying to your face."
From attorney Michael Senger, links to previous visits after the jump:
More than two years since the lockdowns of 2020, the political mainstream, particularly on the left, is just beginning to realize that the response to Covid was an unprecedented catastrophe.
But that realization hasn’t taken the form of a mea culpa. Far from it. On the contrary, in order to see that reality is starting to dawn on the mainstream left, one must read between the lines of how their narrative on the response to Covid has evolved over the past two years.
The narrative now goes something like this: Lockdowns never really happened, because governments never actually locked people in their homes; but if there were lockdowns, then they saved millions of lives and would have saved even more if only they’d been stricter; but if there were any collateral damage, then that damage was an inevitable consequence of the fear from the virus independent of the lockdowns; and even when things were shut down, the rules weren’t very strict; but even when the rules were strict, we didn’t really support them.
Put simply, the prevailing narrative of the mainstream left is that any upside from the response to Covid is attributable to the state-ordered closures and mandates that they supported, while any downside was an inevitable consequence of the virus independent of any state-ordered closures and mandates which never happened and which anyway they never supported. Got it? Good.
This perplexing narrative was perfectly encapsulated in a recent viral tweet by a history professor who griped about the difficulty of convincing his students that government mandates had nothing to do with the fact that they couldn’t leave their homes in 2020.
Similarly, in an interview with Bill Maher, celebrity scientist Neil DeGrasse Tyson argued that we can’t assess the effects of lockdowns and mandates because the counterexamples, like Sweden, are too different to be applicable.....

That Brent guy teaches in Canada, second only to Australia in the Anglosphere for the severity of their lockdowns.Previous links to Michael Senger:

And just one example of Fauci flat-out lying (video):
"Covid-19: Deborah Birx, Anthony Fauci And The Shutdown Of America"
....In Dr. Fauci's case he is straight-up duplicitous - two-faced - same root as duplex etc.It's a mental illness. Narcissistic to the point of being delusional "I am the science" along with the manipulative behavior of the true sociopath makes for an interesting study in multiple psychopathologies. The ultimate political bureaucrat.Dr. Birx may be even worse.In addition to the lockdowns deceit she has stated: "I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection and I think we overplayed the vaccines ...".Yuck. For a more lighthearted look at abnormal psychology there's that time a researcher in a state mental institution brought together three paranoid schizophrenics who thought they were Jesus, written up as The Three Christs of Ypsilanti. After a rather tense beginning they each became slightly more accepting of the others but eventually it all broke down:....The relative friendliness that the men showed to each other – which Rokeach put down to the patients attempting to appear amenable, as befitting their status as the son of God – soon broke down and led to verbal and physical fights between the three "Jesuses".
In one meeting, Clyde declared that Leon "oughta worship me, I'll tell you that" ....
Since that was posted we've collected another half-dozen other instances of a) Fauci proudly taking credit for lockdowns and b) denying he ever heard of the term.
