Book Review: Steve Deace’s “Faucian Bargain” is a Must-Read

In the age of digital book burning and censorship of scientific research, Steve Deace and Todd Erzen (The Blaze) dare to ask the question: what are the consequences of a nation surrendering its way of life to the whims of an unelected bureaucrat?

The Scientific Method requires us to continually analyze data and construct new hypotheses when combatting an airborne virus. Alarmingly, the “experts” subscribed to “Faucism” attempt to ignore and discredit studies that contradict the mask-worshipping agenda:

“22 of Florida’s 67 counties have a mask mandate. There is essentially no difference in population-adjusted cases between masked and unmasked counties. Further, of the 20 counties that implemented a mask mandate after May 1, only three had a reduction in average daily cases.”

Deace’s book recounts a year of inconsistent advice and contradicting claims from Tony Fauci – known by Branch Covidians as the Patron Saint of Wuhan. Under the guise of “compassion,” Fauci’s guidance has effectively transferred control over every portion of our lives to governors who destroyed their state’s economies only to pat themselves on the back. At the beginning of 2020, most of the general public had never heard the name “Dr. Fauci.” Now, after 14 months of politicizing a virus, Saint Fauci has his own children’s book. It’s not a wonder why the dangerous bureaucrat doesn’t want you to turn off the CNN panic porn and go about your life.

“Fauci should have been fired long ago for his long history of failing to conduct and oversee effective scientific research while politicizing it, and for his open cheerleading of the utter destruction of American lives, hopes, plans, dreams, and freedoms so he can dance on America’s funeral pyre while having CNN film it.”

The elevation of one voice over all others, coupled with the idolization of America’s highest-paid federal government employee, has led to a “one size fits all approach” to fighting the virus. It is a slippery slope from “emergency” mask-wearing orders to vaccination mandates. The introduction of the “vaccine passport” threatens to banish from polite society those who dare decline unapproved, emergency-use authorized vaccines free of manufacturer liability.

Lord Fauci enabled totalitarian governors such as California’s Gavin Newsom to employ emergency powers without the approval of state legislatures. California has administered over 30 million vaccines, yet residents will be forced to affix carbon dioxide and bacteria traps to their faces for the indefinite future.

This book finds the perfect balance of recognizing the seriousness of the pandemic, never dismissing the China virus as a “hoax,” while simultaneously blowing the whistle on mainstream media fear-mongering. We are all old enough to remember February 28th, 2020, when Fauci compared the case mortality rate for COVID with the flu. But what so dramatically changed his tune? Why did Sweden experience such success under their mask-free, no lockdown policy? Did the “Wu Flu” originate at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China? How much US funding was allocated to this lab? Why has the World Health Organization covered for the lies of the Chinese Communist Party? Pick up this book and you may not be able to pick up your own jaw off the floor.

Faucian Bargain is an easy read that will keep you up at night asking how we can prevent such raw power from ever again being placed in the hands of one fallible human being. Download it digitally or find it at a local retailer – before the tyrants at Amazon quietly burn it.
