Another thing about Fauchi and his mask statements.
Originally he said they were useless, might stop a droplet or two.
Later they were essential, and you needed not one, but two. and this second version is a direct contradiction. One is a lie, they cannot both be true.
One may cover for this by saying the science was ‘evolving’. Bullshit. Mask science had been settled years ago.
It’s also been said, I believe by Fauchi , that he ‘downplayed’ (lied) the masks so there wouldn’t be a panic and hoarding of masks which would deprive the medical community of much needed masks.
To that I say bullshit. I’ve worked for the government. You get what you need no matter the cost. And with the state of emergency and the defense authorization act, private business can be forced to make you what you need.
So again on his mask statements, ‘masks useless’ or ‘masks essential’ both cannot be true. I pick the second one as the lie.
But the overall moral of the story is Fauchi is a proven liar. And there’s many examples of him lying.
I recall one could get whiplash trying to keep up with the about faces. Say one thing, say an entirely other. As far as Fauci, and masks, at times you would get the ol' situations change with greater information....the ol' reserve the right to change my mind thing. On the other hand, if someone questioned things he said or his
guidance and approach you would be met with his long resume and expertise, he was beyond reproach. Same goes for the do as I say, not as I do. Amazes me so many seemingly intelligent people just surrendered to the ever changing and inconsistent narrative. The COVID thread here, did it get deleted?....might be an interesting read. Not really. Sad, actually. It's actually all too common among a certain set. Not to throw a can o worms into the thread subject matter....
Someone, I can probably remember the name, but I won't mention. In reference to the justice system someone said, and I paraphrase, in our justice system everyone is guaranteed defense representation. It doesn't really matter if someone can afford an expensive attorney or one is appointed, in the end you get an equal shot. Now any serious, thinking person, they know that isn't always the case. In fact most often it is not. The ol' reserve the right to morph...If the subject turned to criminal justice reform and black folks, that opinion, from that person, it would likely change. I'm confident of it. Any thinking person knows, guilt or innocence aside, far fewer black guys would be in prison if they enjoyed a more vigorous defense, which costs money, at times lots of money. But that thought would come from someone's mouth, mind, fingertips to fit the politically motivated agenda of the moment. Everything is made to be political....
Including COVID, masks, vaccines, boosters....lots and lots of boosters. Because shut up, wingnut.
