re: Do you trust what Dr Anthony Fauci says about COVID without question?

If I am an accountant and I come to you every 2 weeks telling you the accounting I did 2 weeks ago is wrong, do you trust me? Now, I do that every 2 weeks for 5 months. How's the trust?

Now, I tell you that I am one of the worlds leading specialist in accounting and have been for years. Do you laugh in my face?

You comparing being an accountant to being a specialist? You do realize information on this virus is continuously changing right? In fact, information in the medical world is continuously changing. What was once thought to be the best way to treat something 15 years ago could now have a long term impact and there is a new better way to treat it.

Some of you people amaze me.

The man is an epidemiologist. I trust him to tell me how this virus works. Asking him to arbitrate national/global economic policy is like asking my dentist to perform a colonoscopy. GTFO

He lost what little credibility he had when chose not to apply science and give an opinion on the protests. You know, like he did on sports, church, etc.

We still talking about Fauci?

I think he knows better than most but everything around COVID is changing constantly until we really understand it.

fricker doesn't trust himself. He changes his stance almost hourly. I stopped listening to him months ago.

I think, for the most part, he is just doing his job as best as he can. It seems like information continuously changes.

Horse shite.

He, himself, said we had nothing to worry about with corona. He, himself, said we didn't need to change our habits or way of life in anyway. He, himself, said masks were next to useless in regards to stopping the spread of corona.

Then, a couple months later, he said that leaders dropped the ball, and more should have been done sooner. He, himself, said that we should have shut down in February. He, himself, said that travel restrictions should have been put into place much earlier. He, the good, flip-flopping, spineless, sissy, girl-throwing doctor passed every fricking buck he could get his hands on and refused to take any blame for anything, going so far as to throw other people under the corona bus.

So, no....he isn't "just doing his job the best he can". He's doing everything he fricking can to keep his job and maintain what little reputation he has left. He is playing political games and telling every Tom and hairy dick reporter who comes along exactly what they want to hear.

How else do you explain going from: "Masks don't work." to "We probably need to start wearing goggles and face shields."?

frick. Fauci.

Any job would do. An accountant is not germaine.

Once again, presenting an opinion as fact is dangerous when you disguise it as fact.

What do you mean by you people, racist?

I personally think everything anyone says about COVID should be questioned.

Scientists first starting taking tornadoes seriously in the early to mid 1950s. 1953 had three big tornadoes that hit well populated cities in a span of less than two months (Waco, Flint, and Worchester). Two of the three killed over a hundred people and the third killed around 95. So the NWS and other scientists decided maybe we should start doing some research in how to protect people in these situations. After doing years of research with the technology available at the time the NWS made some tornado safety guidelines. Among these guidelines were the notion that before you take cover you should open all the windows in your house to equalize the air pressure as much as possible and when you take cover in the basement you should try to go the SW corner of the basement because that should be the safest corner to take cover in. These recommendations were made in the late 1950s and remained as official guidelines clear into the early 1980s at least. (I graduated high school in 1984 and I can remember my high school English teacher opening the windows during a tornado safety drill before taking the class to the basement where we went to the SW corner. Eventually after about three decades of more research the NWS updated their policies and basically told people not to waste any of the time they can be using to take cover to open up windows because it doesn't do any good whatsoever. Oh yeah, and about that SW corner of the basement being the safest place in the basement to take cover bit, we were slightly off about that too. Turns out all that debris that we thought would be flying over you and landing elsewhere in the basement is actually just falling down on top of you and making the SW corner of the basement the worst corner to take cover in.

My point is the best scientists on earth studied something for three decades before they figured out that everything they were telling people to do to be safe in a particular circumstance was completely backwards. The best scientists in the world have been studying COVID for less than a year. It is completely egotistical and ridiculous for any of them to assume they are getting anything right about this.
