Yes, it is in fact about the POTUS being a fucking moron that dismantled the pandemic response team and spewed nonsense about the CDC and vaccines on a daily basis.
The CDC was part of that.
Faucci was right about masks because he has publicly endorsed every possible stance on the subject during the pandemic.
Yes, you fucking idiot that is intentionally manipulating the facts either because you're an antivax sack of shit or because you're just a moron, he did change his stance on the public wearing masks...
ONCE IT BECAME CLEAR THE VIRUS WAS FUCKING AIRBORNE.
You and other shitbags act like he was flip-flopping the whole fucking time, almost like you weren't actually paying any fucking attention to what he said and instead just bought whatever horseshit the news channel you were watching TOLD YOU he said.
Congratulations, you got manipulated by propaganda because you're an idiot.
Stop doing that.
Send your replies to a scarecrow. This is the most strawman argument I have ever seen.
Faucci did a terrible job during the pandemic. He made the CDC sound untrustworthy, which is the worst possible thing to do during a pandemic.
Science is slow. It takes time to find the truth, and science will draw some wrong conclusions that eventually need to be disproven. I understand this. The layperson does not.
It is truly damaging and reckless for the head of the CDC to come out, with full confidence, telling everyone that masks do not work in early 2020. There was not enough evidence to be certain at the time. Instead of honestly, and clearly stating the level of certanty behind the CDC's statements early in the pandemic. By not doing this, Faucci fundimentially undermined the credibility of the CDC.
That is a major contributing factor in making the facts about covid so divisive.
Hey liar, find me a fucking point where he actually said masks "DON'T WORK." That was never a thing from his fucking mouth, HE IS A FUCKING DOCTOR. HE KNOWS MASKS FUCKING WORK.
What WAS said, that your idiot ass didn't pay any fucking attention to, was that masks were NOT NECESSARY early on.
It seems to me like you're either a fucking idiot that just believed what literally anyone told you about it OR you're being an intentional cunt.
Either way, fuck off. I have no room for either form of moron.
