This guy would've betrayed Jesus at a cut rate from Judas and be right there at the Golgotha leading a GoFundMe to pay for the tomb, ending up claiming full credit for the ressurrection.

The issue I have with Fauci's waffling is that he doesn't say, "I was wrong because . . . " He rarely acknowledges his flips on his positions. When he does, he points out that people weren't ready to hear the truth or would be confused by mixed messages. In other words, it's our fault for being too stupid. Even mild-mannered Martin Kulldorff called him out for checking the political winds before making a statement.

As you brilliantly opine, that Shaman Fauci flip-flops is not hard to understand. He is playing his cards for maximum effect, based upon prevailing political winds. Easy-peasy. What continues to baffle me, particularly among people I used to respect, is how *anyone* listens to him with anything but disgust. As a species, we are not very smart. Six millions years seems like dumb luck, the more one looks around!

Even the "fact-checker" sites got into the act this week, ahead of Fauci... it's pretty clearly coordinated.

It’s comical, but also a little sad, that even after Fauci has admitted lying to the public on several occasions, he and others will assail us as villains and “anti-science” if we doubt his most recent oracular pronouncements.

Recall this, concerning the “herd immunity threshold”:

“In the pandemic’s early days, Dr. Fauci tended to cite the same 60 to 70 percent estimate that most experts did. About a month ago, he began saying “70, 75 percent” in television interviews. And last week, in an interview with CNBC News, he said “75, 80, 85 percent” and “75 to 80-plus percent.””

“Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he had slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts. He is doing so, he said, partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks”

The worst mistake Trump made was elevating this man. He is nothing but a political and corporate pawn. Trump should have brought in someone like Scott Atlas.

Dear Saint Anthony, will we need to double mask for the double mutant variants and triple mask for the triple variants? Mr. Paul wants to know. Not assigning a high probability to this outcome, but wouldn’t it be some kind of theatre to watch Messrs Fauci, Cuomo, Eric Wing-Ding, Gates et al appear before a global tribunal. I wonder how fast the grifters over at 60 Minutes, CNN and the Times would shift course to claim they were on the right side of history. Might reverses the loss of ratings and subscriptions since the bad Orange Man was defeated.

Well, looks like Fauci is more like a politician rather than a scientist. The sad thing is that many hold his words as gospel.
