You equated Fauci and Trump, you goddamned weasel.

Nope. I said that few care about science when it doesn't suit them. Fauci and Trump are not the same, neither is paying attention to the science when it comes to COVID. Their refusal to consider the actual science on the issue stem from different sources, as far as I can tell. I do think Fauci truly believes what he's saying. I'm not sure if Trump does.

"Fauci and Trump are not the same, neither is paying attention to the science " Stop being a goddamned weasel. You just equated them AGAIN. "I do think Fauci truly believes what he's saying." Because he's a truth-teller. Unlike you. "I'm not sure if Trump does." What the hell is there to be unsure about? Trump's a pathological liar. Don't pretend you don't know that.

Nope. I did not equate them. Just because neither are paying attention to the science does not mean that they are the same. Fauci is a "truth-teller." Oh boy. You sound like a religious fundamentalist talking about his prophet.

Fauci is full of bull sh*t. He might believe what he's saying, but he's still wrong. And he's NOT paying attention to the science.

"Just because neither are paying attention to the science does not mean that they are the same." That's a goddamned lie, to say that Fauci is not "paying attention to the science." That is the respect in which you are equating them. Stop playing stupid as if you don't understand what is wrong with what you said."You sound like a religious fundamentalist talking about his prophet." No, I sound like someone who respects the expertise of someone who has spent his life working in the field."Fauci is full of bull sh*t." Fuck off. Then fuck off some more. Then fuck off some more. People like you is why this country is dying.

> That's a goddamned lie, to say that Fauci is not "paying attention to the science."

Unfortunately it is not a lie. The science is not on the side of extreme mandatory lockdowns, but rather justifies voluntary cyclical distancing. Such measures would prevent large epidemic backdrafts. Meanwhile, fauci has not once even noted that public health systems aren't even monitoring infection rates!

What a funny reaction. Why aren't infection rates in each geographic region being monitored? Why hasn't Fauci once mentioned the need for random sampling in order to identify actual infection rates? Why does Fauci ignore the epidemic backdrafts that have been happening around the world?

why are you expecting me to be OK with an Internet rando with a demonstrated propensity for dishonesty denigrating the motives of someone who has been a leader in his field for decades? I don't give a damn what you're trying to sell here: you've already shown me you are not someone worth listening to. Now fuck off

You're talking about yourself, not me. Also, this is a public forum, and you keep posting to me. I'm just replying.

Why hasn't Fauci once commented on the need for random sampling to identify infection levels?

"You're talking about yourself, not me" No I'm not. You pretended not to understand why people were offended at you putting Fauci and Trump on the same level. You pretended not to know that Trump is a pathological liar. That's why I call you dishonest. You have no excuse for calling me dishonest: I have been nothing but blunt."this is a public forum, and you keep posting to me. I'm just replying." Same here. I will continue to tell you that you are a goddamned weasel and should fuck off. And I will continue to have no interest in your assertions or questions since I have no reason to believe you say anything in good faith.

I didn't put them on the same level. I said they were likely quite different. That doesn't mean that both aren't ignoring science. Pointing out two things that two people have in common doesn't mean that I'm equating them. Both Trump and Fauci are male too. And?

Uh huh. Why hasn't Fauci pushed for random sampling to identify actual rates of SARS-CoV-2 infections?

"That doesn't mean that both aren't ignoring science." THAT IS PUTTING THEM ON THE SAME LEVEL, a scientist who has been at the forefront of his field for four decades, and a pathological liar with a kindergartner's understanding."Pointing out two things that two people have in common" They don't have ignorance of science in common. WTF is wrong with you?

Oh, got it. Another thoughtless opinion

Please explain then why Fauci has yet to push for random sampling to actually monitor infection levels, as is necessary to prevent epidemic backdrafts.
