It’s been a long way down for Anthony Fauci, MD – from virtual dictator of a nation under virtual house arrest (and purported sex symbol) to laughingstock caught lying and blaming the public for his fall.
Fauci finally fessed up to his face mask fabulations. He lied to us for our own good, of course. (snip) Now, Fauci is complaining that ignorant Americans “don’t believe science and they don’t believe authority.” (snip) As a result, his announcement that “football may not happen” is meeting outright defiance from the NFL

For the first and last time I will say good for the NFL. Dr. Fauci has shown his totalitarian side. He's like Nurse Ratched with more power and I say I am done with him and done with most experts. They have shown me that they care nothing for my health and safety and all they want is power.

Someone please get the hook for this pint sized tweedledum. I think I heard someone say yesterday he had been a basketball star in his younger days. Say what! Were they using him for the basketball.

Now, Fauci is complaining that ignorant Americans “don’t believe science and they don’t believe authority.” Don't you dare blame us! You brought this on yourself by being, as your fellow New Yorkers might say, about too smart by half. What a troll

I came across an informal poll:
Which of the following should be placed around Dr. Fauci's neck:
1. The Congressional Medal of Freedom.
2. A noose.

Fauci became such a publicity hound that I stopped listening to him a long time ago: he would speak in my kitchen were there a camera.

All Bull Shtuff from beginning to one hopes will be an ignominious end for these sanctimonious jackasses. These past three years have gone far beyond the "credibility gap" of LBJ's worst Vietnam days. We are being lied to, manipulated, and bullied by the people and institutions we in which we should have most trust. Science is bought and sold, cheap prostitutes who can manipulate data and models to say whatever the grant says. Government far overreached its legitimate authority, and "the people" went along like sheep. We have examples of where science-based state confinement policies killed our most vulnerable citizens. And this can go on and on...
TIme to take Nancy Reagan's sound advice: Just say no!

Everything Fauci has said has subsequently proven false to fact. Despite constantly changing his story, he still managed to be wrong at every point of this fiasco. If you laid out a time line of Fauci's statements, you would find a series of contradictory self-aggrandizing errors.
Fauci and the rest of the so-called "health professionals" who propagated this hysteria are directly and personally responsible for the single biggest mistake human beings have ever made. They shouldn't just be discredited and driven from public life forever; they should be pilloried.
The damage this idiot has done is incalculable and an unholy reckoning against these phony experts is sorely needed.

If you go to youtube, you will find a March2, 2020 Fauci interview on 60 minutes. In that interview, Fauci explains why masks don't workas protection against Kung Flu..

His lies - who cares if he was 'well-intentioned' - demeaned his message, his own personal reputation, and ultimately science itself. He'd have done best laying out the truth and we'd have dealt with it. Resign, Tony, no one will ever believe you again.

Fauci should move to L.A. where he can have lunch with Brad (and plan his life-story movie) and be among those who admire and worship him and hang onto his every utterance. If he thought there would be a shortage of masks for healthcare workers in the beginning - and didn't encourage them for the masses - he could have easily shown/taught/demonstrated how masks could be easily made at home with everyday supplies. He's delighted to be enormously famous now and would be more than happy to be overseeing 'our' every move. No, Tony; thank you - but no!

It didn’t just start. The good doctor told us 35 years ago that AIDS was going to become a heterosexual disease. We all needed to practice safe sex. Based on the number of accidental pregnancies I would say that wasn’t followed. I’d also say AIDS isn’t a major concern for heterosexuals.

Given how he totally screwed up the AIDS epidemic back in the 80's with his pronouncements and promises of a vaccine, it should not surprise anyone that he screwed this up too. Should never choose a lab rat bureaucrat to do a working doctor's job Mr. President. Oh and by the way Dr. Fauci, where is that vaccine you promised the gay community 34 years ago? So why should we believe your promises about vaccines now?

Fauci is half right. We have always believed science and we have never believed authority. Climate Change is not science, it is extortion. Most of the COVID_19 science is either made up or highly exagerrated. When you have governors out there like Cuomo, Wolf, Whitmer, Northam and Pritzker, you are better off without a governor. President Obama, of course, was the father of lies.

Fauci says that science is “fact”. That must be why the conclusions of only one in ten scientific publications are reproducible. I suspect that Dr. Fauci is among the ninety percent of fails.

A stupid, broad-brush accusation against Americans! We do believe in science. The evidence is, literally, everywhere! What we don't believe in charlatans trying to pass off fake science to fit a political narrative. We don't believe fake science that has been shown to be incorrect many times before- like all the doom and gloom predictions about the environment.
We do believe in legitimate authority, like police and other honest people in authority. We don't believe dishonest bureaucrats or politicians. The job title doesn't mean honesty!

I enjoyed a good (much needed) laugh just reading the title. Lifson is always worth reading, for content and for style!
I also used to enjoy watching President Trump's covid updates every day during the initial "Fourteen Days to Slow the Spread" phase. Wash your hands; don't touch your face.
Remember Fauci, arms folded across his chest, looking a wee bit too bemused? One day, i guess trying to obscure his scorn, his hand went from tucked under his armpit, to his chin, to the index finger sliding upward to his cheek. Yup. We're being played.
I think even Birks began manifesting some doubt, several weeks later, however, as she analyzed the "data". Someone told her, Don't look too pleased with the huge improvement, Doc.
The big urban centers should have been a focus. The medical specialists could also then have been ready to target specific areas or businesses (like meat packing plants). Above all, the nursing and long-term care facilities ought to have been the most crucial foci. And it was known from the beginning that the sick and elderly were the most vulnerable.
So who is going to investigate these epidemiologists, AND AND AND politicians some of whom are still stepping on the throats of small companies, big and small, before more damage is done?
Fauci cried, Wolf! and lost all credibility with rational citizens.

I don't believe faux science, and faux authority. Or is that fauci authority?
I have no doubt that a lot of what he has said has a good basis in fact. BUT, a lot of what he has said presumes that this is the bubonic plague, with a 35% death rate. The reality is that 99.5 to 99.7% of people will not die from it. And better yet, if you are not morbidly obese, not a diabetic, do not have damaged lungs and have a normal immune system, your odds of surviving it are much higher, probably 99.99%. And something like 50-60% of people will not even know that they had it.
In our county, 600,000 people, probably fairly representative of places without subways and other ultra risky environments.
0-9 years Zero deaths
10-19 years Zero deaths
20-29 Zero deaths
30-39 Zero deaths
40-49 2 deaths
50-59 Zero deaths
60-69 4 deaths
70-79 10 deaths
80+ 61 deaths
in long term care facilities: 38 deaths
Half of all deaths in nursing homes.
80% of all deaths over age 80.
This is a reason to protect our elderly, and especially our people in nursing homes with extraordinary care, maximum efforts for them. Special training for nursing home staff, extra PPE for them, extra measures all around. And leave the rest of us ALONE.

#28 nails it to the wall. Thanks for the county-level numbers and the insight. This is a bad flu season that got turned into an economic and social catastrophe. As one of Adam Carolla's guests said, although some diseases may steal years from our life, this lockdown has stolen life from our years.
