The director of the National Institutes of Health attacked critics of government medical czar Anthony Czar in decisively authoritarian terms in an interview with the Washington Post published Friday, appearing to call for the criminalization of dissent against government coronavirus dogma.

The Post quotes Francis Collins, the NIH director, as demanding that those who spread what he calls “misinformation” on the internet to be “brought to justice.” Collins specifically points to criticism of Anthony Fauci, a disgraced White House medical advisor caught in a series of lies regarding the federal funding of gain-of-funding virus research in Wuhan, China.

“Conspiracies are winning here. Truth is losing. That’s a really serious indictment of the way in which our society seems to be traveling,” said Collins of growing criticism of Fauci and public discontent with “health” officials accustomed to making grand proclamations, changing their minds, lying, and then pointing to their own critics as liars or terrorists.
