Lara Logan, who is a Fox Nation host, has compared Dr Anthony Fauci to Josef Mengele, a Nazi doctor, who was known as the “Angel of Death.”
While appearing on Fox News Primetime, Logan, who was a CBS News correspondent for 16 years, did not hold back when it came to the famed National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director.
Lara Logan says Anthony Fauci is like Nazi doctor Josef Mengele
Logan says the reaction to the latest COVID-19 variant, Omicron, was over the top. The award-winning journalist believes that most politicians and health officials exaggerated, and their responses created more problems for the economy.
Logan also claims some of the measures advocated by the so-called experts infringe on the individual rights of Americans.
The media personality said: “This is what people say to me, that he doesn’t represent science to them. He represents Joseph Mengele, the Nazi doctor who did experiments on Jews during the Second World War and in the concentration camps. And I am talking about people all across the world are saying this.”

The host of Lara Logan Has No Agenda also erroneously argued that the coronavirus has a death rate comparable to the flu.
She explained: “Really now, there is no justification for putting people out of their jobs or forcing vaccine mandates for a disease that ultimately is very treatable.”
Mengele was fond of human experimentation and reportedly showed no regard for his victims. He also sent many people to the gas chambers.
The right fears new Biden lockdowns
The personalities in the right-wing echo chamber are pushing back hard after the Omicron surfaced. They fear that President Joe Biden might back other lockdowns in the upcoming weeks.
The president has denied that he is interested in shutting down the country like in 2020 under President Donald Trump.
Mr. Fauci has become a boogeyman for conservatives, and many blame him for the mishandling of the pandemic. The health expert has worked for different administrations. However, in the past year, he became a lightning rod for people on the right.
Tucker Carlson compares Fauci to Benito Mussolini
Fox News star Tucker Carlson also compared Fauci to a figure from World War II. He shared: “If you haven’t checked in on Tony Fauci lately, you may be a little surprised to discover what he’s become.”
Carlson continued: “If you tuned in a couple of years ago, you may recall Fauci as a conventional public health official. He wore button-down shirts; he gave careful, precise answers that suggested deep medical knowledge. No more. After two years of being nonstop media adulation, Tony Fauci has morphed into an even shorter version of Benito Mussolini.”
Texas Senator Ted Cruz went further than Logan and Carlson. The politician wants the doctor to be prosecuted.
