I was kind of shocked to see Fauci looking so… incensed… at Rue Paul’s lies. And then he lit into him. Niiiice. I noticed a right-winger comment that it was obvious from Fauci’s shaking hands that he was lying. It was obvious to me that he was shaking with anger.
If Steve Kelley understood that science is a process (i.e., a verb) and not a thing (i.e., a noun) he would then realize that (new) knowledge sheds light on what we know and how we react to it. Using Kelley’s logic, I hear he won’t take a cruise for fear of falling off the edge of the earth.
Steve, I respect your conservative views, but I can’t respect your stupidity when it comes to science.
Yours must be gigantic Steve. I’ll take Dr. Fauci’s word over that of Brillo head any day of the week. Oh, there’s also the facts, but you tRumplicans have a problem dealing with those.
Rand Paul’s got to make you proud doesn’t he? So articulate and wise.. Must be something in that Kentucky water to get the likes of Mitchell McConnell and Rand Paul.
Calling it a lie doesn’t make it so. Rand Paul was deliberately misconstruing Fauci’s statement in an attempt to get a “gotcha” moment for his base. It had absolutely nothing to do with any real quest for truth. His questions were given in bad faith, and the clearest proof of that is that he didn’t want to even let Fauci answer; the answers weren’t important. He just wanted televisable moments of himself sticking it to Fauci, because for some idiotic reason the GOP decided the most important thing about the pandemic was how they could use it to get more votes.
Fauci is a NY democrat. He hates Trump and all Republicans. His stance on covid is only to keep Dems in a power position. The science does not support what comes out of his mouth.
Fauci, his investors, and Beijing teamed up to make some big profits off of cheap Chinese labor, but wound up killing 4 million people. Oh well, that’s end-stage capitalism.
GQPs expect the population to accept all of their opinions as faith-based fact, and to reject data and sources that don’t agree with their opinions… the more they push their agenda, the more aggressive and brash they get…
It appears that more of the public notices that the GQPs have gotten carried away, and now the GQPs are hurting their own causes. People are less tolerant of grandstanding politicians’ noise – particularly when it is directed against a professional who has repeatedly demonstrated better judgement and performance.
Ignoramuses such as Mr. Kelley seem to believe that scientific knowledge and evidence are static, that what we know today we knew last year or the year before. As we learn more about how COVID-19 behaves, and the relative infectivity and virulence of its variants, we must adjust our behaviors to avoid transmission, infection and death. Vaccines are a huge part of these defensive actions, but not the only ones. Virology isn’t simple, despite what Mr. Kelley thinks or wants.

Rand Paul says he’s asking DOJ for a ‘criminal referral’ into Dr Fauci after latest spat
‘Senator Paul, you do not know what you are talking about, quite frankly, and I want to say that officially’, Dr Fauci says in heated hearing

The GOP is enabling the disease to spread among its supporters. Why?
To shut down the economy to discredit Biden and the Democrats?
How does killing GOP supporters benefit the GOP? Are they trying to gain two votes from independents for every one they lose to death?
