Did you not watch the hearings? In the real world Fauci lied. Anyone paying attention knows our money got to the Wuhan lab for gain of function research. Fauci can parce words and say it didn’t happen.
Sope listen to his testimony using word salad to lie about funding the Wuhan lab.
Sope, fine. Let these folks all dance around and lie. It don’t take any genius to watch Fauci’s testimony about funding Wuhan and change of function experiments to know he’s lying about us funding the lab. Granted, maybe it’s not important. Like lying about getting a blow job and sticking a cigar in an interns vagina in the WH wasn’t really important.
Rand Paul is all over his ass. Fauci at one point said Paul is wrong because the funded research was being done in NC not in a Wuhan lab, as if to say “wrong about one thing = wrong about all.” But Paul kept right on, asserting/describing how the research was plainly “gain of function” - solely (?) because it sought to take animal and SARS viruses and make them more easily transmissible to humans. Fauci says that is wrong, but never really articulates precisely why. I suspect it’s parsing and semantics, with Fauci repeating they never funded “gain of function” research on Covid and Paul repeating that “gain of function” research (generally?) was funded.
No, it's a scientific literacy battle. One person knows what he is talking about (Fauci) and the other guy (Paul) is spouting off words and terms that he doesn't even begin to try to understand.
Fauci flat out lied - and admitted it - back in early 2020, when he first started talking about the use of/need for masks by non-symptomatic folks. He said he did it to preserve masks for the health care workers. So he is one of those folks who think a small cadre of government bureaucrats can and should deny truthful info to the citizenry. That alone should disqualify him from public service, and I have no idea how or why he survived a long-running feud with Trump, who went through appointees like candy.
Fine. Paul is stupid. Hell, all eye surgeons are stupid. He should just shut up and stop asking questions. Fauci is brilliant. We should trust him. Hell, Sunshine laws should be repealed. Unelected officials should never be subjected to oversight by Senate committees.
I am sure that he took some science classes 25+ years ago. Great for him. He's not stupid but he's pretending to be a virologist.
No, he’s “pretending” to be a Senator asking whether we funded research on “gain of function” in viruses that then leaked accidentally from the lab and killed millions of people worldwide - something lefties “pretended” to care about when Republicans were in power and now, not so much.
FFS. Put away your Rand Paul body pillow. Science is not a pile of facts, it's a way of pursuing the truth. When a recommendation changes based on new studies, they didn't F-in lie to you before, they LEARNED MORE.
Which is NOT what happened with Fauci and his mask advice. At least, according to Fauci.
"Scientists" are never wrong.
Rand Paul . . . the biggest asshole in the Senate.
Rand Paul . . . the biggest asshole in the Senate.
You didn't vote for him, did you?
Oh . . . you did.
I've posted his admission multiple times. He didn't LEARN MORE. He lied, admitted that he lied and and gave the reason he lied.
Nope, he lied about it. Here's his admission, on video. You allude to it above. In the beginning he unequivocally stated masks wouldn't help. Then he later said he said that due to concerns over supply. Call it what you want, but most people would call that a lie.
In his own words. Although he's quick to generalize and lump his statement into "many people were saying this" when asked why we were told not to use masks early on.
“Well, the reason for that is that we were concerned the public health community, and many people were saying this, were concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment, including the N-95 masks and the surgical masks, were in very short supply, And we wanted to make sure that the people, namely the health care workers, who were brave enough to put themselves in a harm way, to take care of people who you know were infected with the coronavirus and the danger of them getting infected.”
Fauci Explains Why Public Wasn't Told to Wear Masks When Pandemic Began
Dr. Anthony Fauci explains the purpose of masks and why the American public wasn't immediately told to wear masks when the coronavirus pandemic first took hold in the U.S.www.thestreet.com
If the science wasn't clear and they didn't know if they were effective, why were they so concerned about making sure that healthcare workers had them in order to avoid infection? That's his stated reason in that quote. He didn't say "we don't know" if masks work or not. He stated that they did not work and wouldn't help.
If you can't see the difference between people being knee deep in dozens of heavily infected people for 12 hours shifts and you wanting to safely make a 15 minute run to WalMart for Hot Pockets and Twinkies, I really can't help you.
So you're saying masks have always had a level of efficacy then and it was never zero as he asserted in the beginning? Got it. That's the lying part of all this. Glad you finally came around to my point.
If our government is hiding stuff on the lab/origins etc, then i highly doubt fauci would have been allowed to spill the beans
