Dana Summers for October 25, 2021

Da heck?

Dana – are you feeling well?

Grow up

Wow, if this meme doesn’t turn people against Fauci and get them voting Republican, nothing will.

All the class and maturity one would expect of Summers.

Only morons keep blaming Trump almost a year after he left. Fauci and the beagles have nothing to do with Trump.

Another Dana, Dana Milbank of the WashPost, has the full true story on this RW distortion. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/10/25/fauci-puppy-experiments-conspiracy-republicans/

“Dr. Anthony Fauci is facing calls from a bipartisan group of legislators to respond to allegations that his National Institutes of Health division provided a grant to a lab in Tunisia to torture and kill dozens of beagle puppies for twisted scientific experiments,” Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post reported Sunday afternoon.

“HORROR ‘EXPERIMENTS’: #ArrestFauci trending after doc ‘funded research that saw beagles eaten alive & stripped of vocal cords in testing’” Murdoch’s Sun reported.

“’Cruel’ Fauci is condemned for … experiments which saw beagles ‘de-barked’ and trapped in cages so flies could eat them alive,” added Britain’s Daily Mail, mentioning “a Tunisian research lab where beagle puppies were force-fed a new drug.”

The monster! What next, Fauci? Setting kittens’ tails on fire? Pulling appendages off daddy longlegs while watching cock fights?

Unlikely. As it turns out, the only thing being tortured here is the truth. The episode says more about the right-wing disinformation machine and its crusade against Fauci than it does about research funded by Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

It turns out that this Tunisian study was erroneously attributed to NIAID. NIAID did, however, fund different research in Tunisia — and the beagles weren’t puppies, they weren’t euthanized, they weren’t “de-barked,” and they weren’t “trapped” so “flies could eat them alive.” The dogs were given an experimental vaccine and allowed to roam. There was a very good reason for this: Dogs are the main reservoir host (and flies the main vector) of the disease that was being studied, which affects half a million people a year, particularly children, and has a 6 percent mortality rate in Tunisia.

Trump Disciple Summers finds something else to LIE about.

Don’t compare Anthony Fauci to Frankenstein —it’s an insult to Frankenstein.

Ya gotta admire editorial cartoonists. It is amazing how quickly a buffoon can take a complete and utter bs story and turn it into a published cartoon!

The dog is not Snoopy…

Want to test on humans, take the fender heads from congress both parties.
