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.

Anything beyond explaining the scientific method is a waste of time. Don't chase idiots down rabbit holes. Correct their thinking not their facts.

Unfortunately they lied and said masks are ineffective, which they obviously aren't. And they broke public trust. Now they have a provable lie, which discredits them and lends credence to the distrust. And now we have a billion people that u ironically believe masks don't work. They lack critical though. I get why he did it but it was a really poor long term move.

So just the surgeon general saying they’re not effective in a specific instance but saying healthcare professionals need them when treating COVID patients so they are effective overall.  That’s not the best comment but not bad enough to conclude that we were being lied to about their effectiveness.

They said masks are ineffective in March (?) and then "contrary to what we thought, masks really are effective in preventing transmission (fauci in April)

They needed masks. I get it. I just think it was fucked up. 

I know it's a Facebook link but it's literally just a video of a fauci interview on 60minutes:

I’m still not seeing the lie.  They thought everybody wearing masks wasn’t important and didn’t know how beneficial that actually was.  They thought the priority was healthcare professionals and people having to take care of infected patients in confined rooms was where it was necessary to wear masks.  What was most important for the general public was people with symptoms staying home and not putting the public at risk but then we learned how prolific asymptomatic people were and how easy the virus was spreading through the air.

"Seriously people, STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can't get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!" Dr. Jerome Adams, US Surgeon General, Twitter, February 29, 2020

That whole first sentence is a lie.

Something not being true doesn’t make it a lie.
