This thread is for those in the Cult of Fauci, How do you know which infallible Fauci to worship? To wit:
Here's Fauci, appearing on one of my old radio affiliates, AM 970 in NYC back in January, saying we have nothing to fear from #coronavirus. https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/479939-government-health-agency-official-corona-virus-isnt-something-the
February 28th Fauci wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine "the overall clinical consequences may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza." https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387
March 8th, Fauci told CBS "there's no reason to be walking around with a mask." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/preventing-coronavirus-facemask-60-minutes-2020-03-08/
Then on March 11th, Fauci testified to Congress this was going to be "10 times more lethal than the season flu." https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/11/top-federal-health-official-says-coronavirus-outbreak-is-going-to-get-worse-in-the-us.html
March 16th he helped launch us into the "15 days to flatten the curve" based on the now disgraced Imperial College doomsday model, even the BBC is calling BS on.
All that effort did was flatten our economy, as now we're in a recession driven largely by a lack of demand in the healthcare system, since everyone with heart disease and everything else stayed home and were left untreated to hopefully not die later.
At the end of those 15 days, with our healthcare system still not overrun except for a handful of cities, he convinced President Trump to extend a national shutdown for another 30 days. https://time.com/5812439/trump-coronavirus-measures-fauci/
Fauci and company based most of their case for extending the national quarantine on the always-wrong IHME model, which other experts from Harvard and former IHME committee members called "not well-suited" and a "travesty" on April 17th. https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/17/influential-covid-19-model-uses-flawed-methods-shouldnt-guide-policies-critics-say/
For example, on April 1st the IHME model predicted my home state of Iowa would be at 1300 deaths on April 30th. As of May 13th we've had 271 deaths. It predicted Georgia's peak death day would be 134 on April 21st. 24 people died that day instead. On and on the wrong goes...
Then, after enslaving us to these models, Fauci said April 10th on Fox News he's always been skeptical of them. https://video.foxnews.com/v/6148686950001#sp=show-clips
Now, Fauci says he's unsure about our children attending school in the fall, a linchpin of reopening, despite the fact China, Japan, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, and Denmark are sending their kids back to school. Should we at least ask what they know we don't?
The Lancet in the UK, which endorsed Bernie Sanders' Medicare-For-All and is no right-wing rag, is predicting more children 5 and under will die from adverse effects of the lockdown the next six months than have died worldwide from COVID-19 thus far. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(20)30229-1/fulltext
We're told to "Trust Fauci" by the smarty-pants blue-check marks here. Well, which Fauci are we to trust? How do you know which Fauci to demigod? What kind of expert gets exalted for such an inconsistent and double-minded track record?
And then what kind of people wish to treat such an inconsistent and double-minded figure as their personal guru, basing their life choices off his inaccurate and unreliable declarations?
He should've been fired three times by now @realDonaldTrump.
