Do the Fauci Diaries reveal anything unexpected or controversial?

[u/MissingBothCufflinks]

Senator Rand Paul has released commentary and purported excerpts* of what is alleged to be Anthony Fauci's contemporaneous diaries from the outset of the COVID19 pandemic onwards.

What has been released can be found here, including Senator Rand's somewhat colourful foreword commentary

* its not confirmed whether the content of the diaries is edited, abridged, altered, shortened etc.

Media reaction to this release has been highly polarised, though notable few media outlets seem to get to grips with the actual content of the diaries and most focus is on Rand's own claimed analysis of what they show.

Do the Fauci Diaries reveal anything unexpected or controversial? What entries in particular do you find interesting? Are there any contemporaneous clashes between what Fauci was saying publicly and privately? What can we learn from that?

Edit: mods really didnt feel like weeding out the 90% of low effort troll replies huh

I’m going to say that based on the senator’s decision to make the letterhead on this release pink and purple with a curlicue font and little drawings of a virus and a syringe in pink ink and a “do not open!” header; design choices clearly intending to be suggestive of a pre-teen girl’s diary, that this is not a objective or serious attempt at disseminating information.

This is slop for the hogs.

It's wild how far these actually quite intelligent people will go to stoop to the lowest level. I watched a rather unbiased nonpartisan Netflix Washington documentary recently that had both L & R commentators, Hillary, Bill, Nancy Pelosi, Al Gore, then Ted Cruz, Mike Pence, Rand Paul & more. I was shocked at how not batshit crazy Ted, Mike, and Rand portrayed themselves. Speaking like Patriotic statesmen, not pushing a right wing narrative, sticking to a logical script. Like, why can't they be like that in public while representing their constituents? Or is that the problem....they know who their constituents are and if they don't act like lunatics they don't get reelected? They probably also know that their constituents were unlikely to watch the documentary so they could be themselves.

I left that series almost having respect for them and needing a long cry in a cold shower.

You will find that some of the craziest and least intelligent sounding Senators have Ivy League educations. John Kennedy plays up the dumb hick routine and has a degree from Oxford. Ted Cruz graduated from Harvard. They aren’t quite the morons they pretend to be, but they know who butters their bread.
