Follow the "science"?

You mean the Conservatives that keep getting proven correct with the passage of time versus trust again the leftists with a vast track record of being wrong about pretty much everything?

You haven't realized the "we were always right" talking point from Republicans and the right-wing conspiracy crowd is objectively false and ridiculously so, right?

Which part was objectively false? That Fauci performed gain of function research on covid before it "escaped"? That it escaped the Wuhan lab? That Fauci lied about masks and social distancing?

Or did you have some other "falsehood" in mind?

Oh yes, those and so much more. It doesn't even take much to convince you that you were right for believing nonsense - how many people felt vindicated in their belief in 2020 election conspiracy nonsense because they watched a movie by a convicted felon about ballot mules? Listened to right-wing propaganda? Just decided it was true all along?

So the things I mentioned are all falsehoods, despite documented proof.

I bet you #believeallwomen too.

Yes, they are all false, but no, there isn't the documented proof you seem to believe there is - and the reason for that is because you've been lied to about what's in documentation you don't comprehend and are too proud to ask questions that would reveal that ignorance.

That's the problem with the reich wing these days - the base is too proud to admit ignorance, and not educated enough to reason their own way through it.

Which is it - is there an actual quote of him saying he 'made up' covid rules, or did he not know where they came from? The clickbait headlines are contradictory.

Appreciate you volunteering to play object lesson though.

You know that making up something and not knowing where it came from can be the same thing, right?

Eg "The idea just popped into my head fully formed, I don't know where it came from or what thought processes might have wound up at that conclusion."

That is true, just not in this case - we -do- know where this came from even if he couldn't explain it's origins during testimony was because it didn't come from his department.
