    I understand the point of thinking they were dedicated but they all used the same excuse each time they ended their employment and were asked why they didn’t say something.  It was like the first one used that excuse and everyone bought it so it’s all good. Collectively I imagine, with some congressional backing, they all could have stopped him.  Just wish once someone would have had the nerve to say “no I need my job for the money”. I’m just not buying that all those who stuck around were doing it solely to protect us. I guess my opinion of everyone associated with politics is shaded. 
    But I respect your responses because you may be right. 
    I would certainly welcome that explanation if they were truly being honest and honorable. 
    This is true for a lot of them. But for Fauci, specifically, him staying on the job quite possibly saved tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of lives. Like Russell said earlier, can you imagine the dipshit Trump would've replaced him with? Wuhan lab or a fucking bat....thank god for Tony Fauci. 

    If I was Fauci I would have been gone the first second that orange shit undermined me, but to his credit he didn't take the easy way out. He stuck it out and still tried to do his job. 

    IDK why that alone doesn't get him more respect. 
    I think he does... except within a certain 40% of the country

    Let me guess, the faux outrage cocktail was particularly strong this morning? Particularly since Randy Paul and the faux news megaphone is calling for Dr. Fauci’s firing.

    In other news, POOTWH’s blog almost lasted as long as two and a half Scarymooches.

    And wow, look at this; Fauci talking about the risks of protests 

    https://www.businessinsider.com/dr-fauci-protests-perfect-set-up-for-spreading-covid-19-2020-6
    Well that's not what he said on capitol hill when testifying. Mind you, he was sparring with Rand Paul at the time, but still, he wouldn't recommend against hundreds to thousands of people in the streets.

    Since you guys seem like big fans of his that take exception to me being judgmental about "The Good Doctor" posing poolside, I'll also remind you that he throws like a pussy....



    Let me guess, "but he's 80 years old!!!" 
    This is pathetic, and I'm not talking about the gif.

    going to medical school and taking a job that pays you substantially less than you could make in the private sector has a detrimental effect on your available time to work on your mechanics.  I bet I could throw some chin music to make lots of critics look like pussies in the box.

    I had typed out “this is so ridiculous I’m thinking it may be a joke”, but then I erased it because people tend to get testy when told they’re ridiculous. Still fits though :lol:

    Yeah who gives a shit when/how the virus got started at this point! Many lives could of been saved with a competent president but unfortunately we had an imbecile running the circus hence 100’s of thousand perished..
    Well ya should care. How the hell do you prevent future pandemics without knowing how this one started? 
    We had a total playbook left behind by Obama administration! On how to handle a pandemic guess what Trumps administration did with it dismissed it, most virus start with humans involvement..
    I get it, dude. Trump is an idiot. I'm not talking about Trump's handling of things. He was terrible as expected. I'm talking about the origin of the pandemic and how Fauci and others were quick to dismiss the lab theory. You say most viruses start with human involvement, but for quite a while there, Fauci was suggesting you're a conspiracy theorist to suggest the lab was the origin. And Facebook was censoring posts linking the virus to the Wuhan lab.

    I already know Donald Trump is a shady asshole. It's Fauci who I'm interested in learning more about. Why be so dismissive of the lab theory? Covering his own ass knowing the NIH gave funding to the Wuhan lab? 
    fauci has not denied NIH gave funding to the wuhan lab, he denies funding was given specifically on the basis of gain of function research. 

    i think the pushback on the wuhan lab theory was because they knew full well what would happen (and did happen, to some extent) if it gained traction: racist attacks on chinese people. and because trump was suggesting china did it as a bioweapon. had fauci and others come out and said, at that point, "we don't know anything yet" instead of outright calling it false, people would have gone berserk, calling for WW3 on China. we could easily have had another cold war on our hands, during a pandemic, with trump at the helm. 

    that's a trifecta for a massive fuck up. 
    Honestly it's a terrible reason to just not tell the truth.  Like the CDC with mask usage.  They messed up because instead of telling the truth they tried to manage the message and in order to do it actually lied.
    you think it's in the public interest to always come clean with what's going on, in real time??
    You don’t have to come out with the truth 100% but you can’t lie. It’s never a good idea. And almost all the time the truth is the best.
