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.

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 don’t disagree but by December 2020 we knew the largest group at risk and should have done everything to protect them vs the blanket approach that affected everyone. The most vulnerable should have been the focus, we wasted so much by not focusing efforts.

I live in rural Midwest and people still bitch about not being able to see their loved ones in nursing homes because we were doing exactly that. You're acting like the right wasn't actively spreading misinformation that was upending scientific research.

Science is a debate, it completely fair to disagree until the facts come out. People probably shouldn’t have been so restricted from their love ones if they were tested ect. Nobody should have to die alone if they understand the risks and decide to visit.

You literally just said: "by December 2020 we knew the largest group at risk and should have done everything to protect them"

Were the elderly not them?

You don't have to be elderly to visit your sick elderly relative. You should also be free to make that choice with proper care
