Faucci is a living parody of the idea that consensus thinking based on expert opinion should be valued over critical thinking, common sense and personal liberties.

One of the issues is that the only argument i now hear regarding masks is that "it helps others feel better" as a major reason to keep wearing it. get out of here.
It is becoming increasingly clear that Fauchi did support the factory in Wuhan (and others). It was somewhat indirectly. I will withhold judgement on that until it is confirmed by other sources.
What is 100% clear is that Fauchi is horribly dishonest or has no idea what he is talking about. The first month the virus was discovered, he said that "masks are ineffective" and did more harm than good. Very, very to easy to find the video that shows him saying it. One cannot deny that. He has changed his mind more than Gregg Marshall. Most of the health care community has as well.
BTW, I got the vaccine, I am not anti-vaccine. I am considered a high-risk person. I would not encourage anyone under the age of 35 to get it, unless they have other contributing health problems.

American Airlines has announced they will not meet their masking requirement for passengers.

Fauci has tied himself in knots pretty frequently, when he's asked about florida and texas he just basically looks completely out of sorts. When you have people close to you that have died from Covid you certainly try and discuss this stuff with some care but some of this stuff continuing is pretty ridiculous. Its all CYA.
I believe very few governors are safe come next year. its going to be a bloodletting. theres no way our fat stooge here in illinois is going to get reelected.

Studies have shown that it allows an extra layer of protection that is especially helpful if you are already double-vaccinated. Of course, the efficacy threshold is extremely vulnerable to the new Norwegian variants that contain certain systemic and imperialistic elements. The only thing that can stop those variants is excessive street protesting along with additional state-mandated restrictions.No double masking for this guy

I will try to avoid flying AA, but if I have to, I will just switch from the gator to the surgical mask while I am in their "jurisdiction" and switch back when I am not. As far as I know, they are still the only airline which is not allowing them.

We thought about going in July but it was about $300-600 more fore the same trip. Reason? That’s when the mask mandate was originally supposed to be lifted.

She was thinking Paris or Venetian. Location and Balcony overlooking Bellagio Fountains won the day for me

paradox wrote: ↑May 29th, 2021, 9:56 am Probably going nowhere. Let's not forget that Trump put him in charge, knowing that he was a germaphobe. He was pretty much introduced as the man who thinks handshaking should be outlawed. Bad move bringing him in and and not handing it off to military professionals.One of the few mistakes Trump made. I think Fauci helped created a loophole in 2017 to get around the Obama admin 2014 ban on gain of function research here in the US ... moved it to Wuhan while Trump admin was distracted battling the deepstate and Russia accusations.
