How is Trump’s attacks on the medical community reflective on anything your claiming? In the middle of a pandemic he’s retweeting that the medical community is lying. You understand how crazy that is? And how do you figure it minimizes the insanity by him doing that? Seems pretty clear Trump is the one generating the insanity not the other way around.
Trump has praised Fauci, even within the last few days. But he has also said that Fauci, Redfield and other CDC "experts" have been wrong, consistently, on a number of occasions.
* Fauci said we could trust what China was saying, despite during Fauci's tenure at NIH, China has consistently lied over the last 20 years.
* Fauci gave millions in NIH funding to China's biomedical reseach lab, the exact one and exact research that unleashed Covid-19 !!
* Fauci and Redfield were wrong on the travel ban, and Trump (rightly!) enacted a travel ban on China on Jan 31st, despite opposition of all the leadersship at the CDC (who after-the-fact admitted that Trump was riht and they were wrong.)
* In February, Fauci said people shouldn't wear a protective mask unless they work at a hospital, that masks don't protect people. Then in early May, Fauci completely reversed opinion and advised everyone to wear a mask. It seems obvious in retrospect that Fauci was consciously lying about masks not giving protection, lying repeatedly all through February, March and April.
Based on this alone, why would anyone trust anything at this point Fauci has to say!* On CNN, answering phone-in questions from viewers, a man said he had cruise ship reservations, and was over 65. He asked Fauci if under the circumstances he should cancel his cruise trip. Fauci assured him Covid-19 was not a threat to the U.S., and to go ahead and enjoy his trip. Bear in mind,
this was March 15th !! And within a week, we would see horror stories of Covid-infected crusise ships where people were trapped and not allowed to leave for weeks, one of the worst places to be during the pandemic.
* Fauci right up until the shutdown in mid March, over and over, almost nightly on every news network, assured the public that Covid-19 was not a threat to the U.S., and that people should worry more about the annual flu virus.
The piece-of-shit Democrat/Left constantly pushes the narrative that "Trump should have acted sooner" and "Trump lied to the public and Trump ignored the threat", but
DEMOCRATS IGNORE that it was Fauci and the other bureaucrats in the CDC who assured Trump as medical experts and prevented him from doing more. But these medical professionals the Democrats praise, even as they rail on the president who
listened to their "expert" advice!
* Fauci has also repeatedly made public statements in the last 2 months that are critical of Trump's Covid-19 policy, or ambiguous at best, that undermine public confidence. Many conservatives think Fauci is a Democrat/Deep State player who is attempting use the pandemic to tilt the election in the Democrat favor. Likewise, I myself would be surprised if Fauci were not a registered Democrat.
* Fauci also, against the evidence, undermines use of Hydroxychloroquine, that could have at this point saved tens of thousands of lives in the U.S., and shortened the illness for tens of thousands more. As I said prior (and linked), Hydroxychloroquine is the treatment of choice for physicians in at least 30 other nations, and in some nations is given out FREE to people. Many doctors and nurses in the U.S. (despite Fauci and the CDC) take Hydroxychloroquine as a preventive measure. The head of the French CDC has released studies of its use to treat Covid-19, and has personally used it to treat hundreds of patients. And still Fauci stonewalls and obstructs it from being approved, despite the medication being FDA approved since 1955.
Based on all the above, I would expect Trump to fire Fauci in the weeks after the November election. And based on the above, Trump has been overly kind to Fauci, and has every right to criticize him.
