When You Attack 'Dr. Anthony Fauci, You Are Attacking Science'
La science c'est moi!
[MEDIAITE] Dr. Anthony Fauci
...American epidemiologist with rotating opinions, warnings about the unlikely, and reassurances that if you wear a mask you won't get COVID, as long as you're wearing multiple masks, assuming wearing a mask is necessary in the first place...
has evidently had enough of the increasing criticism being pointed his way — particularly from the political right.

In what became a fiery

Continued from Page 6


...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob...
rant on MSNBC’s MTP: Daily Wednesday, Fauci — speaking with host Chuck Todd — blasted those attacking him on a variety of subjects ranging from his mask advocacy to the question of whether the National Institute of Health (NIH) funded gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The impetus for Fauci’s screed on Wednesday was a video from Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), who floated a conspiracy theory that the infectious disease expert was colluding with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg
...the Peewee Herman clone who owns Facebook. He's got more money than Croesus and thinks he should be regulated by the government because it does such a nifty job with all the other stuff it regulates. Until it does, he's not going to stop doing the things he sez need regulated...
on a narrative about Covid-19.

"Dr. Fauci was emailing with Mark Zuckerberg
...the Peewee Herman clone who owns Facebook. He's got more money than Croesus and thinks he should be regulated by the government because it does such a nifty job with all the other stuff it regulates. Until it does, he's not going to stop doing the things he sez need regulated...
from Facebook, trying to create that narrative," Blackburn said. "Cherrypicking information so that you would only know what they wanted you to know, and there would be a narrative that would fit with this cherrypicked information."

"I don’t have a clue what she just said," Fauci said, curtly. "I don’t have a clue of what she’s talking about. ... And I’m sorry, I don’t want to be pejorative against a united States senator but I have no idea what she’s talking about. And you know Chuck, if you go through each and every one of the points which are so ridiculous, just painfully ridiculous, if you go through each and every one of them, you can explain and debunk it immediately."

So if you are trying to get at me as a public health official and scientist, you’re really attacking not only Dr. Anthony Fauci, you are attacking science. And anybody that looks at what is going on clearly sees that. You have to be asleep not to see that.
Fauci then directed his comments more broadly — towards not just Blackburn but all of his critics;

"It’s very dangerous, Chuck, because a lot of what you’re seeing as attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science. Because all of the things that I have spoken about consistently from the very beginning have been fundamentally based on science. Sometimes those things were inconvenient truths for people, and there was pushback against me.

So if you are trying to get at me as a public health official and scientist, you’re really attacking not only Dr. Anthony Fauci, you are attacking science. And anybody that looks at what is going on clearly sees that. You have to be asleep not to see that."

It now takes on a new meaning.

I think I'll go with Snusort Thud5135's comment,
it's the clearest and most concise comment posted this month.

I know there will be others, who disagree,
so it will be like waiting for the other shoe to drop on this subject & topic.

No matter, I'll also anxiously anticipate the sound
of one hand clapping, those who agree with us.

Now if we could only get Dr. Fauci
to follow Snusort Thud5135's example.

Place nation and change in appliance.

And again, for the win:
Artificial fresh sense, and compliance!"
