I love how we live in a society where there are no consequences for the actions of the elite.

    Brad Pitt earned an Emmy nomination for portraying the 80-year-old physician on Saturday Night Live.

    LMAO. Liberalism is such a disease.

    More gems:

    Scott Atlas, the libertarian radiologist and herd-immunity advocate whom Trump hired based on his Fox News appearances, was calling the shots.

    Libertarian with the last name Atlas. The simulation is broken.

    A month later, on February 29, when many scientists believed thousands of undetected cases were present in the US — testing was still non-existent — Fauci said, “The risk is still low… there’s no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day-by-day basis.” And on March 9, after superspreader events on four cruise ships had been reported, Fauci told Fox’s John Roberts, “If you are a healthy young person, there is no reason if you want to go on a cruise ship, [not to] go on a cruise ship.”

    This is what pisses me off so much about the Fauci lore. He fucked up, just as bad as anyone, at the begining of the pandemic in order to keep the gears of capitalism turning. These deaths are on his hands as much as anyone else.

    When the guidelines changed, Fauci cited two factors: (1) the Covid taskforce had feared that a run on medical-grade masks — specifically, N95s — would deprive healthcare providers dealing with sick patients every day, and (2) new confirmation that asymptomatic carriers were transmitting the virus. In retrospect, neither of these explanations was sufficient. The latter explanation relied on a scientific ambiguity. Asymptomatic spread had in fact been confirmed in January 2020, by Fauci himself.

    I'm glad this was put into writing in one place. Because it was always such a pain in the ass digging up how many times this guy has flip flopped on basic info during this. If the guy had any morals he'd have resigned long ago.

    My mom is horny for Fauci and since I have to suffer with this knowledge, chapochat will suffer along with me.

    Edit: sent her this article. Her and I have an agreement where we have to read the articles we send to each other so at least I know she will actually read it. Thanks for posting it.

    When the only other people on your side are the chuds then maybe that's a red flag for what you're choosing to spend your time getting upset about. Fauci is a boring appointee given sweetheart status by the libs for the most bare minimum refute of Trump's insanity. Perhaps the only thing as stupid as spending time idolizing him is spending time trying to convince yourself he's some kind of establishment monster. This "gotcha" article starts off talking about how little power he actually has--just point out that the libs are rediculous for idolizing him and move on like the rest of us.

    If you want to get upset about covid response by liberal heroes go read the Cuomo article. He's someone with actual power that's used sweetheart status to hide truly deplorable shit.
