U.S. And International Politics

[Richard Smith]

You have yet to show one piece of actual evidence
Fauci was certainly right about Trump blocking Biden from being POTUS

Trump is stonewalling Biden's transition. Here's why it matters.

How Trump is destroying the presidential transition process

Meanwhile;

"Trump minimized the severity of the virus by stating that 99% of COVID-19 cases are "totally harmless"

"Trump aggressively promoted the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a "game changer," even claiming he took it prophylactically. His promotion caused a temporary run on the drug, which complicated access for lupus and arthritis patients who relied on it."

In July 2020, Trump retweeted a video featuring doctors making false claims about a coronavirus "cure" and dismissing "the efficacy of masks. He defended the presenters as "very respected" after social media platforms removed the video for violating misinformation policies."

“Our doctors get more money if somebody dies from COVID. You know that, right?” Trump told a crowd in Michigan, falsely asserting that doctors purposefully chose to blame COVID-19 for terminal illnesses like cancer or heart attacks."

"Trump speculated about whether disinfectants could be used internally to treat the virus."

"Donald Trump downplayed the virus and blocked Fauci from appearing on several television programs. Trump called Fauci part of a group of "idiots" and suggested he might fire him after the presidential election, which Trump lost."

Sounds like Trump (see above).  What did Dr. Fauci make up?

Evidence of what?  That 15 million people died from COVID?  That Fauci's job was to prepare for a pandemic?  That he screwed it up?  What did he make up?  He admitted it himself.  That social distancing business and masks were all nonsense.  It was designed to inflict pain and force compliance.  Nothing to do with protecting anyone from the virus.  Any dissent could result in arrest or firing.

"Dr. Anthony Fauci testified in congressional hearings that the iconic 6-foot social distancing rule was an empiric decision that "sort of just appeared" and was not grounded on hard clinical data or randomized trials."

STILL nothing !
You think masks were nonsense?  That's weak. Stupid talk. Without a vaccine masks were all we had.
You're forgetting about the hospitals overwhelmed with death or making ventilators out of car parts. Masks saved lives.
Just ask Herbert Cain. Oh wait - He flaunted it - ignored the warning and died of COVID.

Had nothing to do with Fauci while dealing with a POTUS talking about using household cleaners and UV lights

"Dr. Fauci clarified that he did not personally establish or issue the 6-foot guideline. He attributed the recommendation to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), noting it fell outside his direct purview at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)."

What you see Trump do to Pirro now, is much of the same that he did to Fauci.

...Dr. Mengele seem like an amateur

...complicit in the deaths of 15 million people.

...Nothing to do with protecting anyone from the virus.

...designed to inflict pain and force compliance

  Not much...is there?

Even Fauci said the masks were useless.  Imagine telling people they had to wear masks but they could take them off to eat and drink.  It was laughable.  Like something out of "Idiocracy" or "The Crazies."  They knew everyone was going to get COVID.  It was a novel, highly contagious disease.  Biden got it about three times even though he was vaxed and masked like a mummy.  At best, it was a security blanket for weak willed people that did them no good.  At worst, it was an intentional attempt to control people to sort out who would comply and would not.   The kicker, of course, is that once Biden won the election, the masks quickly went bye bye.  The whole thing was a farce.  In Australia, they were sending out the tactical assault teams to arrest people walking outside by themselves without a mask.  Total insanity.

Yes.  Total insanity.

"In early March 2020, he advised the general public against wearing standard masks, primarily to preserve critical supplies for healthcare workers and because widespread asymptomatic spread was not yet clear."

Do you think COVID was some kind of hoax?

Yes.  Total insanity.

COVID killed 15 million people.  Of course it was real.  A question like that attempts to deflect from legitimate questions about how it originated and the incompetent response from Fauci.  Initially Fauci gave multiple reasons for not wearing masks including a lack of evidence that they were effective.  And the masks that 99% wore were useless and even then, they could take them off to eat and drink in public.  Laughable.  If they were necessary to stop the spread of COVID, why aren't we still wearing them?  Even at crowded events.  COVID is still around.  So are a lot of other deadly contagious diseases like the flu.  But Biden and the Dems waved a magic wand after the 2020 election and it all went away.  Do you still wear a mask?

Fauci never said masks were ineffective without referring to a specific type. Without a vaccine masks were all we had.   
Before the vaccine there was no treatment, we could only stop the spread.  You forget, the vaccine was stalled by a
sitting President more concerned with having lost an election then the lives of Americans in a raging pandemic.
Further to that point, it was Trump spreading deadly misinformation re: horse de-wormer or household cleaners.

The vaccine greatly weakened the virus.    You can't figure that out?
What did Fauci do wrong? - and what should he have done instead?

So much misinformation.  Trump developed the vaccine in record time.  The vaccine "weakened" the virus?  What does that even mean?  Let me ask you this.  Is COVID still out there?  Only about 15% of Americans are getting the COVID vaccine?  So why aren't the Dems still clamoring for everyone to wear a mask and social distance?  What did Fauci do wrong?  He advocated closing the entire country bankrupting thousands of businesses.  He advised school closures and masks for young children who were at little or no risk if they were otherwise healthy.  He made up social distancing.  None of that made any difference.  The focus should have been on the elderly and those with serious medical conditions.  Everyone else was going to get COVID and have mild symptoms.   There was nothing anyone could do about that.  And that is exactly what happened.  Biden got COVID three or more times.  More Americans died of COVID under Biden than Trump.  All Fauci did was maximize the pain by closing the country for months.  The economic toll was enormous.  And that is best case for Fauci.  If he was involved in the research that resulted in the lab outbreak as is entirely possible, and then covered that up and lied to congress, he is complicit in one of the largest crimes in history.  Other than that, he was fine.
