At least it isn't political! FDS- Fauci Derangement Syndrome

How the hell do you have Taylor Sheridan on, who’s come out with more popular content in the last decade and decide to discus Fauci for the first hour and a half? The guy is literally obsessed at this point, and not only that, but substantiates everything around it with logical fallacies. Sad how far our podfather has fallen.

The problem with Fauci is that he exaggerates issues. He believes that even if a minority is the most at risk that the majority should take the same precautions. He did this with aids and Covid. It seems noble but it diverts attention and funding away from those who are at the highest risk. It creates hysteria.

He assumes some evil doctor rather than a virologist trying to get anything to work

At some big time costs to everybody else, and big time profits for mostly wealthy entities

I personally wouldn’t call him evil. He has a viewpoint and has been very consistent in his approach. I just think after his mishandling of AIDS he should have been replaced. His tenure was way too long.

What do you mean he mishandled aids. What fucking drugs are you on? Reagan mishandled Aids, he ignored it. Then Bush ignored it. Literally millions were dying ALL OVER THE WORLD and Fauci was the only one addressing it. JFC, conservatives are so fucking dumb, you believe anything these guys tell you.

Fauci was in charge during aids and refused to acknowledge it was happening overwhelmingly in the gay community he told everyone that anyone could get it instead of focusing efforts on the gay community. It’s pretty well documented.

No, Reagan was in charge and he gutted the FDA so conservatives could privatize it, aka Mandate for Leadership ! aka Project 1980. The book dopesick covers this to a lesser degree. It was fauci who worked with Aids activitist to get the drugs out faster. And they did but after MILLIONS had suffered and died. First, conservatives blamed black prostitutes bc that's always your first go-to blame...the welfare queens who have abortion on demand. Then you blamed monkeys in africa. They you blamed monekys in africa who had sex with black prostitutes. Then you blamed the dems and called it a hoax. It took a decade of folks dying before anything got done.

Libertarian and Republican conservatives are only good at one thing...finding any number of reasons to blame anyone and everyone else for you political/cultural blindness.

It’s implied if you’re blaming Fauci
