Also tired of the WHO head administrator, Tedros Adhanom, who uses "Dr." BEFORE his name, I am sure with the intent to be taken for an M.D., and who, although head of public health in.... let's see, where was it, Ethiopia I believe, does not actually hold any M.D. or Ph.D. in a non medical/scientific field. Unfortunately, the people of our country, and many others, do not chose the most qualified or the most naturally gifted in medicine, research, the law, etc., no, we go for the self promoters, the ones who hire a behind the scenes publicist, even in academia. No, it's not quite the same as those who work as entertainment/Hollywood promoters, but it's the same principle. They guide you in how to promote some pretty flimsy articles based on very poor research perimeters, poorly designed studies, and then "promote" this garbage "science" with the smoke and mirrors that serve to impress the vast majority of citizens who have no idea what to look for in a well constructed research study.... the variables, the standard deviations, the margins of error and what that might mean, etc. Believe me, the "cream" does not naturally rise to the top, these folks are self promoters and plan every inch of their "career" rise. They know quite smugly, they are of course, "smarter than the average bear", kind of like the self promoting architect of the Obama medical plan.... remember him on the hot mike ? Too bad, most American's spend a lot more time and research into what color automobile they will buy, than who they catapult to the highest positions and offices, even when it comes to their HEALTH and their education and the education of their children. Don't think it is likely to change either, many could not care less.

OMG.... blah,blah,blah, blah blah

All you need to do is research the good doctor's history and his very lucative connections to the pharmaceuticals industry. Why he is the virus spokesperson makes no sense.

You will, of course, explain his political agenda.

That would make this an intelligent discussions.

Then, we can begin a thread on the insane, crazy theories distributed while Faucci was muzzled.

You know, the ongoing things, none of which occurred, and cost numerous lives. “Numerous” was a kind way to put it. Listening to just Faucci would have had its moments on the learning curve, but we would have more Americans to hear it, and would never had the run on a drug proposed to be the cure, never waited for warm weather so it could simply go away, and numerous other ridiculous statements.

There are many of Faucci quotes during the past 12 months that are confusing and erroneous.

But NOW I agree with Rubio> "Dr. Fauci is a very good public-health official. His job is to advise policy makers and inform the public," Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said on Tuesday. "But his job is NOT to decide what we can do, where we can go or which places can open or close And his job is NOT to mislead or scare us into doing the 'right things.'"

And his floundering of opening schools and lockdowns- terrible.

But his LATEST --- Fauci on Sunday declined to say on CNN that grandparents who are fully vaccinated could see their grandchildren, saying "I don't want to be making a recommendation now on public TV. I would want to sit down with the team, take a look at that."

So, if Faucci represents "Science", that's fine - but just as important to the Medical HEALTH of US citizens is Financial Health and Emotional Health. I don't believe that he takes everything into consideration for us all in terms of OVERALL Health.

Side note> Do you know that Faucci makes more in salary than the US President?

I agree. I don’t trust Fauci. He’s in over his head. I liked the woman but she has retired. I think he’s part of the problem and has an investment in all this.

[stebooo]

He changed his political affiliation IMO. It was obvious. He isn't just a great physician otherwise he would just keep his mouth shut and advise officials. He loves it. Dr atlas who has a very different position has been shut down from the left. They, the left , don't even try to hide it anymore

If you don't have any integrity left, better to keep the mouth shut.

You're kidding right?? Trump ridiculed him way back bc Trump didn't like/agree with fauci and would take the mic, he did the same to Birx.

He's a doctor and probably a damn good one. He deserves every penny.

[Ele201]

I think Dr. Fauci is doing his best to protect American citizens. He seems to advise us using a lot of caution. But is he too cautious? I must say I was taken aback when he recently advised against dining at restaurants. That contradicts what our governors are doing, which is allowing indoor dining. So which is it? That’s definitely an example of mixed messages and quite confusing.

[RuthA]

I don't believe anything he says. Too many conflicting comments!

Give the guy a break. Frankly, what I worry more about is all the villagers wandering around with no masks like the pandemic is over. The truth is that if everyone had worn masks from the very beginning this would all be over. Ponder that for awhile.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Obama had banned the study of the coronavirus in the US because it was "dangerous". Fauci at NIH funded the coronavirus development in Wuhan using over 7 million of taxpayer dollars. The whole world gets the coronavirus. Then Fauci steps in to "save the day". Now Fauci is providing new funding to develop and study viruses in Wuhan again. Does anyone else see the lunacy of Fauci and this health policy?

[Kandytalk]

This virus is still evolving. It is CHANGING to survive. That is why Dr. Fauci wants to give you current scientific facts. I don’t see why people cannot understand this.
