Gern Blansten said:I guess I just find it interesting that you call out Fauci for his explainable "lie" and don't address the bullshit that tRump spewed out during the same time period. The suggestion on live TV that introducing light to our internal organs or introducing disinfectants to our bodies might be something that would help, etc.
Seems like Fauci's statement pales in comparison to me but carry on.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
The going social media theory is that it's the vaccinated that are spreading covid because they're overly secure in the vaccination and are out spreading it by gathering, etc. I don't doubt there's some truth to this. That said, my observation is that the unvaccinated have always been out gathering, living their lives, and "not living in fear" from day one. Therefore, I'd suspect that they're still doing more than their share of the spreading...just not by as wide of a margin as was the case prior to omicron.
I highly doubt there's any true knowledge of this, though.1995 Milwaukee 1998 Alpine, Alpine 2003 Albany, Boston, Boston, Boston 2004 Boston, Boston 2006 Hartford, St. Paul (Petty), St. Paul (Petty) 2011 Alpine, Alpine

Gern Blansten said:LOL....it just seems like there is so much else to criticize that it was surprising that you would bring up the "lie" that Fauci explained. Yet ignore the ridiculous statements that from tRump that are still getting people killed.

HughFreakingDillon said:it's just exhausting reading the constant "but what about trump". so many people here bitch and moan about whataboutisms, but ever since trump came around, the biggest one is about him. you literally aren't allowed to question anyone without it becoming about trump. fauci's mask thing has zero to do with trump.

Yeah I'm big on whataboutisms but it just seems like such an explainable situation (to prevent health care workers from not having proper protection) that it is justified.
But whatever. Let's discredit Fauci as much as possible because that helps.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

HughFreakingDillon said:helps what? are helping solve the covid crisis here? I think it's a good discussion to have, because until nick brought it up, I hadn't seen fauci's quote about masking data/theory in the early days vs now. I think honestly it's great for people to see that. Myself included.
It's like the Maddow clip I brought up the other day that I keep seeing everywhere. In the early days of the vaccine the reports were that the vaccinated would not carry the virus to pass to others. Now we know that is wrong yet the right is going on and on about how Maddow lied to discredit her.
Same with Fauci. In the very early response he said something incorrect that he corrected very soon after that. Yet here we are calling him a liar.
Doesn't make sense to me but whatever. Carry on.
Fuck Fauci! He must be stupid because he says masks don't help!Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

like I said before, I had no problem with fauci before when I thought maybe it was a lie to keep supplies with those who needed them. Because honestly, in real time, when Canada's Theresa Tamm did the same thing, but the 180 pivot was literally days apart (if I'm remembering correctly), it seemed suspect and I knew that was going to cause so much confusion.
so I get why people question those at the helm telling us these things. But I also understand why/how it happened.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
Fauci lost all credibility by not being forthcoming about the fact that the NIH helped fund the Wuhan lab's research. He kept pushing that the virus was likely not man-made, and he was always eager to speculate that the virus came from the Wuhan wet market. Other scientists had their research/opinions censored on social media due to having hypotheses that contradict Fauci.
I don't see how anyone can even give a crap about Fauci at this point. On either side. I don't see the point of respecting his guidance or recommendations, nor do I see the point in vilifying him.

If Fauci said that the virus was "likely not man-made" who gives a shit? That doesn't change how we respond to it unless you think we should bomb Wuhan.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

Fuck Fauci! He must be stupid because he says masks don't help!
People have a hard time believing him now because of something like that.
Nick is right about masks being bought up in droves and sent to China. I couldn't find ANY for my men. Got lucky w one vendor and rationed those until a month later when new shipments were coming in.0 -
tempo_n_groove said:I remember listening to Fauci explain that he didn't want N95 masks going to regular people, because they wouldn't get in the hands of people that really need them. That is definitely true. I couldn't believe he said that.

Gern Blansten said:But does a comment that Fauci made that was soon backtracked/corrected really have anything to do with N95 masks being sent to China in January 2020? That's what Nick said. Fauci made his statement on March 8, 2020 right?0
