    You guys are out of your fucking minds.

    So no response to what Fauci actually said? You had 10,000 words for it before you actually read it.
    You mean the Gateway Pundit warped the Fauci quote into a misleading headline to rile up a specific section of the population and people here were triggered by it as evidenced by almost every post in this thread? Get outta town.
    The problem with Fauci is that he’s effectively an academic that spouts off a lot of theory with an abundance of changing his tune ... in other words he’s super reactionary

    Part of the problem we’ve had throughout the COVID period is frankly that we don’t have voices that are clear subject matter experts that people trust ...
    Experts like the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease?

    masks can actually do harm.


    “Masks work!”.


    80-year-old at risk individual with COPD hears this and says OK I can safely go to the grocery store and pick out my own groceries because this cloth mask will protect me.



    They get Covid.



    “But I did everything right!”



    If masks work at all, it would be on a population level. Slightly decreasing individual risk of spreading Covid multiplied times millions of people. They don’t work the way the vast majority of people think they work. They don’t protect better than any vaccine can (Redfield). They aren’t and were never the most powerful tool we have to fight Covid (Biden).


    If officials were more honest in their messaging as to who was most at risk and how those people should best protect themselves there may have been better results.

    We’re in a thread of Trumpers throwing a fit because Fauci said “some people might elect to wear masks to prevent the flu”.

    I know this is how moderates water down the bat shit right. “Well a lot of people are concerned about election fraud” as Trumpers storm the capitol. But when person A says something completely reasonable and people B lie about what person A said, you don’t get to blame the “messaging”.

    No one cares about the capital protest. The left keeps trying to make it a thing. But it was a mildly interesting news story on some random workday.

    Whatever Fauci's clinical expertise are, he's been too scattershot with a camera or microphone in his face. The Hollywood beatification of Fauci wasn't his fault, but he sure did like it.

    Could you use any more sweeping generalizations?

    Is it possible that the reason people aren’t thrilled is because people are concerned that the government may overstep its boundaries going forward?

    Ever heard of floating a trial balloon? You are being conditioned by the government and are too stupid to recognize it.

    Do people actually think at all?

    Why was the flu virtually nonexistent this year:

    1) COVID effectively was a substitute for the flu

    2) Because so many worked from home and we effectively eliminated much of the person to person interaction ... we effectively eliminated the spread of the flu through traditional means

    3) Masks

    Problem is that people like Fauci that clearly have agendas are going to anchor to masks as the savior. It’s at best a contributing factor but almost assuredly not the redeeming reason.

    I wish more people would be able to think critically ... but we’re trying to eliminate that from schooling so what are you going to do

    Yup, I am on some lib sites and they think it should be mandated in stores every flu season from now on. F off

    You'd have a little more credibility on this topic if you yourself hadn't been caught lying so many times Kobe.
