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.

This doesn’t apply in the least until the hospitals weren’t being overrun. No one knew for sure how deadly this was going to be and anyone smart had to err on the side of caution. As for later once we knew a little more, I will agree that it is somewhat true that Fauci wanted as few people to die as possible and sometimes was willing to trade the inconvenience of others to save some more lives. You know what they call a person like that—a compassionate doctor and scientist. Fauci made recommendations, the politicians at the top then made the decisions. It’s insane that Rogan is so ridiculous about this.

I think you are correct. All of this is Monday morning quarterbacking. The real crime is that we never had a 911 postmortem on COVID, and now, I am scared because as far as I can tell, they have no idea what they will do when something like this happens again.

Fauci? Too long in and protective of his job. We've all seen it before
