[Doctor Who? Doctor Fauci, that's who]

Fauci literally wrote the book on Internal Medicine. Harrison's is one of the most respected medical textbooks.

Good.

I think that's a yes

Why Fauci's an idiot. And by your standards also fascist.

He takes his mask off when the cameras are off.

It's quite simple, do a google search.

He's talking about this dumb crap.

Fauci takes his mask down for a second while outdoors and surrounded by only two other people and suddenly any advice he's ever given on the subject is invalid.

Nevermind the giant maskless events and rallies Trump and his followers have thrown then and since.

"Gotcha" at its worst.

Okay.

So you're ok with that?

The “violation” depicted there is de minimis compared to this (RNC Convention, 2020) and thousands of similar rallies and gatherings by Trumpies across the country.

So you're ok with Trump rallies?

Well no but actually yes

From a public health standpoint, no. A disaster waiting to happen, and risks exposing plenty of innocents as well when they all go home.

From a, “am I happy to sit on the sidelines and watch Trump supporters enter the history books, the hospitals, and possibly the morgues with this flagrant stupidity” perspective?

Yeah I’m okay with it.

So I guess it depends on what kind of mood you catch me in.

He is also trying to undermine the vaccine.

It's probably a misunderstanding. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/fauci-apologizes-suggesting-u-k-rushed-vaccine-n1249976

X Doubt

Fauci’s and other health officials’ promotion of face masks and other distancing guidelines is the pandemic equivalent of seatbelt laws.

Not fascist by any stretch of the imagination.

If you want to start naming fascists, try the man in the Oval

And on top of that, we have recordings of him saying masks don't work back when the death rate was thought to be 3 to 5%!

Despite the fact, there was no new medical research for him to suddenly change his agenda from there is no need for masks to we have to wear masks and lockdowns are a must when the W.H.O says otherwise.

The shortage of face masks in the early days of the pandemic, and the need to reserve them for front-line healthcare workers, was the reason for that guidance.

When the masks became more widely available, the guidance changed.

Public health is a complex field that is not solely informed by science, but also by resource allocation and social aspects.

What about him not following his own guidelines? That's what I call a hypocrite.

Trump went through a very brief phase a few months ago when he was all of a sudden very gung-ho about being seen wearing a mask and setting a good example.

Then he backed off and reverted to form, reverting to whining about the masks and encouraging citizens to revolt against restrictions, etc. etc.

If you want to talk about someone who has been all over the map in terms of flouting guidelines, start with the man in the Oval.

Politicians am I right?

Yeah, he's a health official, not a politician, no?

Indeed

So: Are you listening to health officials or politicians?

I mean hopefully, the health official would know more about a virus than a politician would.

Remember this?
