re: I Can’t Remember, Did We Have Any Fauci Worshipers On Here?

Funny you are "too busy" now.

You people have to be some of the dumbest frickers in the world. I am literally referring to one thing.

Vaccines by themselves are not satisfactory for disease control.

Well, that is not exactly true. Smallpox and polio are pretty satisfactory, as is measles and others. The more limited antigen associated w/ CV19 mRNA vaccines, probably contributes to some of the variance along with rapid antigenic evolution / immune escape.

What you are missing here is the transmission routes. Smallpox was aided by a consistent presentation as well as a viral exanthem, thus people could self-isolate. Polio's transmission was limited first by water filtration before a vaccine was developed, and polio was chosen as a vaccination candidate by virtue of the seriousness of its sequelae, even though those sequelae affected less than 1% of children. We were also aided by the relative lack of variability in antigenic sites in a pathogen like polio, which is an RNA virus but has a relatively simple structure.

Absolutely. Not that anyone will care, but I wrote about this very early on. Finding the original post where I wrote about this is hard as I didn't save it initially, but here is a reference to it made by jimmy the leg. LINK

The long and short of it is that you have to be very purposeful with a disease control strategy and the characteristics of the pathogen have to be front and center. Vaccines are effective in a scenario where the pathogen does not establish latency, does not undergo antigenic variation and does not interfere with host immune response. CV19 has those characteristics, although it is has been a few years since I looked into its host immune response. My thoughts on it during the height was that there was a remarkable ability for the infection to have a different 'quality' in patients who were related, and I posited that one possible source of such a difference in quality would be that CV19 is possibly HLA-mediated. Regardless, CV19 is one of the worst candidates for a 'vaccine-only' control method.

Somebody who doesn't have time for Rand's "pointless theatrics" meant to get to the bottom of one of the worst moments in this country's history. At best our experts making terrible decisions and at worst a cover up and conspiracy that destroyed millions of lives.

Well, it is pointless. And two, it clearly didn't affect the actual president at the time.

A moment you apparently had all kinds of time for in the moment to support some of the worst actors in the history of the country.

Again, you should read the posts I actually wrote.

But now Rand's "theatrics" are just too much for you.

Because I have no belief that they will lead anywhere significant. He could prove me wrong, but my view is that this is all theater.

And frick you. Get interested in important things. You can start by educating yourself on Fauci and his actions.

Maybe then you will be a little less of an ignorant fricking idiot.

You seem angry, understanding that tone does not always come across accurately in the written word. I don't want to assume.

the post I read said you were "too busy" to deal with Rand's (and presumably the rest of the US senate that bothered to show up)'s theatrics.

This made you come across as a pompous blowhard and revealed how deeply invested you are in NOT getting to the truth of one of the worst moments in this country's history.

My interaction with you has done nothing but confirm this "holier than thou" pomposity which makes it easy to conclude you were one of the blowhard "scientist" 's pushing this bullshite when it happened.

Others here who have read your posts then seem to concur.

If you don't want to have people conclude you were a POS when this was going on don't have your first post here start with you acting like a POS.

Look, if you can't read the entire sentence and try to make it seem I am saying something I did not say, I will treat you as though you are operating in bad-faith and dismiss you. If you have an actual question, I will answer it. That is how it goes.

Yep. In spite of CV19 actually having a lower mutation rate per replication than viruses like influenza.

But the statement ...

... so severely understates the nature of covidianism which swept TD boards, and our country as a whole, that it warrants harsh critique.

It is akin to discussing a case of abominable child abuse, and you asking those criticizing the abuser if they've not punished their children at some point. The two are on totally different paradigms.
