How "The Science" can change in less than 24 hours
 

Yesterday:

REPORTER: “But we can gather for Christmas or it’s just too soon to tell?”

FAUCI: “It’s just too soon to tell”

Today:

FAUCI: “I will be spending Christmas with my family. I encourage people -- particularly the vaccinated people who are protected -- to have a good, normal Christmas with your family.”

There is absolutely no change in what Dr Fauci said, just as there is no change in your constant attacks on a person who has devoted his life to combating disease. Statement one is about the nation as a whole, asking will the pandemic be over by Xmas. He honestly answers that we don't know yet. Will the anti-vax people see the light? Will a new strain emerge? Will hospitals continue to have to triage? Those kind of well informed questions lead Dr Fauci to his cautious answer.

The second statement is also clear. If you and your family are full vaccinated you can have a good normal Xmas. The unspoken part of that second statement is that if you and your family are not vaccinated then whether it is safe to gather is still unknown. So are you intentionally being obtuse or do you really not understand what is very clear to me in those two statements?

The science did NOT change. But science does improve knowledge with testing and evaluation in an ongoing manner. So if at some point the science does change that does not make an earlier statement wrong based on the information available at the time. However, when information is available it is the obligation of those who wish to claim the mantle of science to be up to date in their pronouncements. For those who are anti-science, ignorant, or incapable of understanding the literature and believe their own "opinions" about vaccines or deworming meds or social distancing, or masking should be taken seriously, just No to them.

Thank you, I couldn't have said it better:bigbow::bigbow::bigbow:

Of course, you realize that some posters have an agenda, it might be an idiotic agenda, but an agenda nonetheless:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

The sad part is that there may be some people out there that believe some of the garbage that is spit out on this site

Since March of 2020, Except for me all my kids, grandchildren, plus my other half spent every holiday, including Christmas, with hundreds of unvaccinated. Plan is to do it again, this Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years.

That is sad, I wish you luck in your plans.

I waited to form an opinion until I read the OP, and having read it, it is my opinion that the post is intended to (I think the kids say this) cast shade on science. Anti-science is rampant and sad. I could be wrong and the poster was honest and sincere and did not have an "implied" comment.

But, considering the history of this site and the strong implication of constantly changing science, I doubt that.

Throw shade, but yeah.

I didn't know you were a Fauci fan? :shrug:

Sad? That is your opinion. It sounds joyful to me.

I don't need anyone's advice on how I should spend the holidays with my family. I would rather rely on my own common sense and critical thinking, which may be referred to as personal responsibility. Common sense and critical thinking is, IMHO, rapidly diminishing in today's society.
I have successfully and healthfully ascended into my 70's, and I'm not about to change what has gotten me this far.
If other's feel the need to be directed, that's their choice, not mine.

Don’t understand the division. Vaxed or unvaxed, “science” proves both contract and pass the virus. If you and yours are healthy, enjoy your holidays with your loved ones. If you are sick stay home. Advice we have all followed and passed on for decades.

Dont forget to put the bullet in chamber #6 before you spin

Fauci
 

Agree

Will be looking for your family obits!

Yes, thank you. And don't you forget to put the bullets in chambers #1 and #6 for the next time you are crossing the street.

Science is not the truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes it’s opinion, it didn’t lie to you. It learned more.

That's good! Looking for obits will give you something to do, which is better than living in fear of Covid!

You know nothing of Fauci's history.

What you don't realize is that is exactly what you have done.

Wokeism
 

Those who are vaccinated WILL HAVE A NICE CHRISTMAS. those who are not, if still alive, might not be so lucky.

Fauci is self serving publicity hound, a habitual liar and a shill for Big Pharma. And untold thousands have died because of it.

He covered for WHO and the CCP early on when they conducted the sham investigation

He lied when he said COVID was of natural origin.

He lied about Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine despite documented findings from government agencies and renowned health professionals around the world.

And he lied before Congress about funding the Wuhan Lab.

He doesn't have supporters. He has groupies.

Questioning science is science.

Like most of the world, I admired Fauci when this all started, but I’ve come to view him as an ivory tower academician cum politician. His tarnished reputation is his own doing.

Sorry, but that spin made me dizzy...

I agree, the science did not change, but his message most certainly did... And that's the problem... No consistency in the messaging...

The science didn't change in 24 hrs, but the message most certainly did...

Is gender a science?
 

Is physical gender a science? Or is it ever changing?

...if still alive... Good grief. A little fear mongering?

Remember, any attack on Fauci is an attack on science. By my count, you just attacked science 6 times.

Wow! Such hatred. I can't believe where the country is going. #WTF!

Fauci the fake!! He is nothing but Hollywood!

The Fauci groupies are certifiably crazy, the guy funds gain of function research that unleashes a worldwide pandemic and they still defend him.

Fauci has never passed a microphone he has not fell in love with. When he first came onto the scene I had respect for him. But as time has gone one it is clear he his a narcissist who cannot get enough attention. As such, everything he says has become suspect and he has lost credibility with many people and when you lose credibility you can no longer be effective.

OK OK OK Nobody has even checked to see if Santa has been vaccinated. He visits EVERY HOME on Christmas Eve. .... he could be a "super spreader". Somebody should check with Fauci .....maybe he should be required to get a covid test before going out.

What he said must not have polled well.

He has changed what the science is some many times. That is partially the reason for the confusion. He should be fired

Why are the "Just Obey" people so nasty. No one attacked you on this thread, yet you come out attacking others.

Good For them. Live life. Some are so timid and fearful one would think they plan to isolate until a cure for death is found.

He did change what he says constantly! He is the highest paid person in federal government. He has dedicated his life to getting rich. His wife is a paid member of the health board. He failed with the AIDS vac. He has fail with WuFlu. He has ZERO credibility !

Great
 

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Fauchi and Covid
 

The covid variants will probably continue, real or imagined, until the government has gained complete control over our lives. The final variant will probably be called "Communism".

Fauci: Christmas Comment 'Taken Completely Out of Context' -- 'I Encourage' People to Have Normal Christmas

Glad he cleared that. There was an old saying "The most dangerous place to be in Washington was between Chuck Schumer and a camera." Fauci has replaced Schumer.
Hugh Hewitt asked him last week whether he thought it was time for him to go because so few people still believe or trust him and let a younger person carry the message. He said absolutely not.
Whether you love him or hate him it's clear to me that his expiration date on all things covid has expired.
