How Anthony Fauci made himself the face of America’s institutional decay

[Counselor706]

As the pandemic sunsets on the United States, the nation stands far weaker, rocked by a public health emergency driving up debt and division amid a polarizing presidential election while political elites capitalized on the virus for ulterior ends. Legacy media got more irresponsible, big tech got more unfair, and half the population comfortably shut down their neighbors’ livelihoods in seeking an impossible life with zero risk, as if the virus had the potential to wipe out the human race.

Among the most visible episodes to deteriorate institutional faith were public health officials’ excusal of protests against police while banishing religious gatherings throughout the summer. Fauci participated, claiming he couldn’t condemn the mass demonstrations but demanded what now would have been year-long stay-home orders.

Fauci’s evolution on school closings over the pandemic has illustrated his remarkable high-stakes inconsistency so detrimental to public faith in institutional leaders. Throughout the entire saga, Fauci often took the side of teacher unions in their quest to guarantee more government funding without a pledge to keep schools open, landing upwards of $100 billion in deficit spending from Congress in the process.

Unions’ exorbitant influence on the CDC further eroded the credibility of the nation’s formerly pre-eminent authority on public health. Billions of the teacher union prize money, meanwhile, won’t be spent for years, and students whose education was held hostage for the money are already being described as the “lost generation.”

If it doesn't support your biased view points, it's not credible. You people claim to be so educated, but the best you can muster is a logical fallacy.

Lol, the logical fallacy is an extreme right wingnut rag twisting things to make right wingnut opinion talking points. Be best.

So you're doubling down on your nonsense. You attack the source rather than the argument itself. You can just admit that you don't have a valid counterargument.

Self deception and wishful thinking drive Jomar's hysterical response to truth. Once his mind is made up all of his receptors go dark to information that fails to confirm his vast collection of shaky and outright false biasses. Notice he immediately and falsely attacks the source as a "right wingnut rag," instead of the facts presented. The mark of a lazy intellect. The last thing he wants to do is find out the Swamp Rat he's been praising for the last year or so is a lying bumbling bureaucrat who might be implicated in the propagation of this pandemic that has killed 600,00 Americans and millions worldwide.

Fauci has been arguing with himself for over a year. He’s flip flopped on masks, asymptotic transmission, herd immunity, school closures, vaccine availability, and origins of the virus. Fucking clown.

He'd look good in an SS uniform, knee high boots, and a monocle.

You guys mock raw story, salon, nyt, wapo, etc so don’t get your panties in a was when your ultra-biased source is dismissed. Your source is known for misleading articles and for mis-stating facts and information. Why would I waste my time with that? Bring me something credible and it’s a different thing altogether.

Say whut?

And notice Rightguide is wrong when he says I falsely accuse the source as a right wingnut rag, once again ignoring facts and information right before his eyes, which actually proves he is guilty of doing what he accuses me of doing. Nice self-own there Rg!

More ignorant lies.

Anthony Fauci received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Republican president George W. Bush in 2008. He deserves receiving another one from Democratic president Joe Biden in 2021.

Most of the mainstream media, left or right sucks. They all spin to the narrative they want to put out. Having said that, credible isn't something that confirms your bias.

 

[KeithD]

Yep, it would be great to see Fauci getting another Presidential Medal of Freedom--a little over a decade apart--from both Republican and Democratic presidents.

 

[LukSkyFokker]

Fauci was fine until he had to facepalm 45's bullshit. Now, after 45 launched a smear campaign against him, the sheeple are still holding the asinine opinion of a lunatic.

The Bobblehead put his facepalm in their Hall of Fame.

Heaven forbid someone adjusts their opinion of something based on newly available facts.

That’s my point. Cite something credible, mildly leaning even, but not something that pegs the needle because that’s pointless bordering on trolling.

It goes to show, their are folks who want to pedal in ignorance and partisanship to the demise and downfall of the USA.

Fauci is an expert in virology and pandemics and was one of a group of sane voices that help prevent a much higher death rate. I am so glad most folks in this country are much more rational and sane and followed the guidance. Seems like the far right wants to cripple us with massive amounts of death to then attempt more coups.

Ain't gonna happen!

Most of it isn't journalism. That said, when you do fact check on supposed left wing media and you do fact checking on 'right wing' media, you can accuse the left of being slanted, what is on Fox News and the like is pure fantasy.
