Voted "Other." As it is a bit more complicated than a simple yes/no dichotomy.
Dr. Fauci is a quite able and talented scientist. That is not really the issue. Rather, it is that Americans want quick and easy answers and worship science almost as a religion. Consequently, they are apt to put too much faith in it and fail to recognize that it can be right - and also can get things wrong.
Science develops as man gets more information and that can change answers and perspectives. More importantly, science is only one aspect of reality. It does not capture the totality of any event and as Dr. Fauci is trained as a scientist, he often does not recognize this.
It is the old maxim. If all you have is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail. This being Dr. Fauci's weakness. He was not good at admitting when new information had come to light and thus having to admit that what he previously thought was wrong. See also his now infamous flip-flop on masks.
Also, he applied one standard to a complex situation. He was asked how to stop a pandemic and so he proffered a scientific answer. What he did NOT take into account was how a strict and literal interpretation of that answer would impact the economy, the culture, the young and a host of other factors.
Throw in that, in their fear and eagerness to find the quick and easy answers, the public failed to consider those other things as well. The result being that the disease itself was managed reasonably well - at least when considering that it was the proverbial "black swan" event and thus everyone, from President Trump and Dr. Fauci on down - were swimming in uncharted waters.
However, there were all sorts of unintended consequences that will reverberate for generations to come and indeed, may end up being worse than the disease. Dr. Fauci - with the best of intentions to be sure - ended up conducting a big giant real time uncontrolled social experiment. Bad things being apt to follow.
Thus it is well to trust Dr. Fauci. However, it is best to do so wisely. To be aware of the limits of his thinking and the relatively narrow sphere of his expertise. Within those limits, he deserved a great deal of trust. Outside them, however, he speaks blissfully unaware of the damage his cure may be causing.
Dr. Fauci treated the pandemic as an either/or. Science works that way. However, man works and lives in the shades of gray. This defining the limits and extent to which the good doctor deserves to be trusted.
Dude has been in his position since I was in kindergarten, and I’m no spring chicken. I’d be more inclined to believe such accusations if I’d heard of anything like that in the 36 years BEFORE 99.99% of us had any idea who he was, and not just the one year he was the face to blame for asking us to do something inconvenient. Kinda funny how that works🤔
All these people are dealing with a new variant of coronavirus that’s had worse effects and higher transmission than previously seen, they’re figuring it out as they go, and in a hurry. Of course miscalculations are made and positions on it will change at times, but it’s mischaracterizing to claim it’s moving the goalposts in the name of some sinister ploy. We trust doctors until they tell us things we don’t want to hear, then the mental gymnastics begin and we call them idiots, lmao.
ABOUT TIME every one else started finally agreeing with me! It usually takes like a year or so though for the rest of the world to catch up to me. "Daddy Fauci." You niggas are ridiculous! It's 2021 and only NOW have you people stopped licking his ballsack!
People who post often and anonymously on politics are full of shit.
Should the option to post anonymously in Society & Politics be withdrawn?
He's a completely dishonest profiteer. He is a Gates lackey and is positioned to make $millions off of the products that has the power to both approve and promote. He needs to be imprisoned for crimes against humanity.
I would not say that but I think some of the positions he takes is due to political pressure and /or personal gain. Also his statements are basically guesses.
Fauci is a fucking weasel. He needs to be put to pasture.
He gets paid and respected more than you ever will. Hence you're worth shit.
That means absolutely nothing you halfwit. Justin Bieber has more money than me too, but he’s about useful as a shit flavored lollipop.
