Robert Redfield takes dire view of scope of coronavirus, but it helps to know he was a driving force behind AIDS hysteria of the '80s and '90s.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is increasingly on the hot seat for its performance during the pandemic, from its testing and counting of COVID-19 cases to its chief's predictions for a second wave of the disease.

I remember the AIDS hysteria very well and it was the cause of my developing a deep skepticism toward most model based health predictions. I trust doctors and nurses who are out there actually treating people, but those who juggle numbers? Not really. I knew a man from my workplace who got AIDS back in the 80's. It turned out that he had been a promiscuous man and his lifestyle caught up with him. He became a raging activist who was constantly saying "we are ALL at risk". I, who was not a drug user, had not had a transfusion and was not sexually active was at risk? Nope. And even though I had work related contact with the man who had AIDS, my risk was zero no matter what Dr. Fauci had theorized.

We should have learned not to trust this organization during the AIDS hysteria. I remember chaperoning our high school band to field performances and stopping at fast food restaurants and convenience stores and seeing condom dispensers and signs everywhere, the media and government incessantly spreading the propaganda that it will make the jump into the normal heterosexual population and we'll all die! Didn't happen. But there's something curious about the Chicken Littles of the CDC - they can proclaim doom again and again but never lose their authority or credibility. Global Warming, anyone?

Redfield and Fauci have been at the head of these government agencies since the 80's.That is 35 (!!) years. More examples of how you can never get rid of the deadwood in the federal workforce. Both have been focused on AIDs/HIV. Time to get some fresh ideas and perspectives.
It is amazing that after 9/11 and the anthrax attacks, the government seems so unprepared for a pandemic covering the entire population, and still so focused on a narrow segment of the population.

Just further proof this is no longer about health, if it ever was.

Call me crazy but I seriously need to know why our President parades before the press Fauci, Birx and Redfield. It is obviously clear that each has questionable motives. They are pro Gates and anti Trump and serve the President no better than the press. Their predictions and advice have been a disaster for this country. It is past time for President Trump to stand taller and make the hard calls.

Yup Fauci great rise to power was facilitated by being spectacularly wrong about AIDS. Turns out id you don't stick needles in your arms and you don't stick something else where it doesn't belong you are just fine. Now we are supposed to hang on his every word.

The CDC and NIH doesn't have time to spend working on diseases, pandemics.
The CDC is full of Marxist Communist democrats who follow orders from Barry Soetoro who ordered them to quit spending their time working on diseases and spend their time working on social justice and reducing health disparities they see in their own mind.

Fauci is a politicized hack and should be brought up on charges. He and his partner scarf-woman manipulated this virus into Armageddon and took down the economy with no concern whatsoever about how horrendously this impacted most of the country. They played right into the hands of the Democrat Governors who have been praying for this opportunity. Trump needs to get these two under control. I am about a step from blaming him for this whole political fiasco. He was suckered.

The hysteria that the Media, with the backing of the CDC, differs little from how MMGW is bandied about. Science has devolved into computer models, with no real facts backing them to create any form of accuracy. This is more about creating a One World Socialist state, than it is about protecting people, or the planet on which they reside.

Yesterday I spoke to my Cousin (he is Homosexual) Fauci’s name came up...he reminded me of how Fauci misconstrued HIV! It seems that Fauci is at it again!

Fauci and Redfield are nothing more than Bureaucrats, and have been for over 30 years. They don't practice medicine in clinics or hospitals. The are administrative and spend much of their energy justifying huge budgets. The Chinese virus pandemic presents an opportunity to justify even bigger budgets and enlarge their ''empire.''
I heard some medical person, whose name I can't remember, say that we can't open the country back up until we can guarantee the safety of all workers. That will be NEVER! We tolerate some risk from many other sources of potential harm, and accept that there will always be harm received, but we manage it. Just driving to work has a risk. Buying lunch has the risk of E.coli. There are lots of examples of risk that we tolerate and manage.

And you should also click on the links provided in this article. A great refresher on how the AIDs epidemic totally politicized our health care system all in the name of the gay lifestyle.
I don;t think Trump was so much suckered as he should have relied on his gut instinct but because this is a medical issue and not an area of much fat,ilsairitym, he felt compelled to listen to the "experts." The governors (mostly Dem and a couple of R) are the ones who took advantage of the WH guidelines.
These so-called experts treat this virus as if it's 1918 and the Spanish Flu is raging across the country. Problem is that back then, we had no antibiotics to treat it. No ventilators. Heck, no hand sanitizers and yet the country survived.

To put these people under the microscope of pure psychology, it is a human tendency to actively inflate one's importance when feelings of insignicance and incompetence are held. Sometimes it's just a profit motive and sometimes it's a ploy to justify a useless job, like Director of Diversity. Your local termite service will speak of termites in many homes around you. Your Radon mitigation installer will try to alarm you into installing his overpriced system by citing the dangers of Radon, a gas which escapes from the ground all over, not just from a crack in your basement. Your life insurance agent will remind you that you could die tomorrow and your family will need a million dollars to survive without you. The pushers of extended warranties warn you that the engine in your new SUV could explode one day after the regular warranty expires. Sometimes these nattering nabobs are backed by local laws, sometimes not. Sometimes all they need to do is panic your wife into nagging you incessantly until you buy her silence.
The fact that these incompetent bureaucrats might be on the hot seat is not enough. They need to answer for the needless panic and financial catastrophe they have created and be fired when they screw up.

This guy is a serious Anti Trumper.
He needs to go, when the scarf says she can't trust anything the CDC says it time to clean house.
At least the midget is gone for two weeks.
