Do you honestly back Rand Paul in this on-going debate?

Rand Paul Seen on Video Telling Students 'Misinformation Works'

"I would sometimes spread misinformation," the GOP senator told medical school students in 2013. "This is a great tactic ... misinformation works."

You're obviously a Fox-News-is-fact gullible science disbeliever. How otherwise intelligent folk land in the anti-science camp is frankly astonishing to me.

Yes. Hence why I posted videos from Ryan Grim of the Intercept and Kim Iversen. Absolute Right-wing nutjibs of Fox news.

Fauci is a life-long public servant doing his best to promote factual, up-to-date, best scientific thinking. He's a hero; moreso for remaining in office in spite of the completely unfounded (thank you Rand Paul) attacks on his life.

If you want to know what being Anti-Science looks like. Look no further than your post that ignores the evidence and focuses on canonizing the individual.

No wonder Fauci thinks an attack on him is an attack on Science. Yikes!

Are you vaccinated against COVID?

 

[Dax777]

Are you vaccinated against COVID?

Why won't I be?

And what relevance does that have to questions about an official's emails that paints a picture of evidence suppression?

Establishing just how much of a nutter you are.

Ah!

I get it. Canonize one guy. Demonize the guy who question him. And then demonize a poster who points out it's about the evidence and not the individuals.

Ok :)

Still haven't confirmed that you're vaccinated. And for whatever reason you think that Republican officials by-in-large acknowledge that Biden won the election - factually inaccurate.

Beats me why you have it in for Fauci. He's extremely honest in the news. Never claims to be a top expert - but instead a voice for current scientific thinking.

Good chat.

1. Yes.
2. Not in for anyone. Just following the evidence. You should too. It's right there in his emails.

 

[SWP's back]

Do you honestly back Rand Paul in this on-going debate?

Of course he does because he’s a spunk bubble.

 

[SWP's back]

Yes ... But but but Fauci and friends just tried to suppress a possible origin of the current pandemic we are in.... We have reciepts....

But I'm sure Rand Paul's 'fake Doctor-ship' is a significantly more important news.story :)

And knowing that he has been sued in his practice before totally bars him from being able to question Lord Fauci.


Carry on.

Great whataboutism SB.

 

[SWP's back]

So... you're simply questioning the origin of COVID?

Honestly, I doubt very much that Fauci is trying to "suppress" evidence - he has no dog in the hunt.

60 minutes ran an episode some months back on this topic - it does seem credible that COVID is a human-engineered pathogen that's escaped from Chinese laboratories.

It's also credible that COVID is simply a result of zoonosis; coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people.

Whether or not COVID is a human engineered disease is irrelevant. We'll never discover the truth of this and meanwhile we have a pandemic to contend with.

A-fucking-men.

 

[Dax777]

Great whataboutism SB.

Of what relevance to politics is Rand Paul's 'fake medical degree' and 'Multiple Malpractice' charge?

Are you looking for an eye doctor? If suggest the medical thread

I'm just cutting through the bullshit and pointing out the obvious. Any sudden interest in Rand Paul's 'failings' is simply a self delusional ruse to not have to address the questions he is asking of Fauci.

Here is the thing, you don't have to believe Rand Paul... You can just read the emails yourself and decide :)

I’ve no interest whatsoever in what Dr Fauci did regards to the origin of the fucking virus. That’s immaterial. There will be time for that.

If my house is on fire, I want someone proficient at putting out fires to organise the firemen that are squirting water into my house. I don’t care at that point who started the fucking thing and I most certainly don’t trust the guy that is standing there telling me “there isn’t really a fire but if there is, try putting it out with diesel”.

And fwiw, you couldn’t cut through butter with a fucking blowtorch.

 

[Dax777]

Of course he does because he’s a spunk bubble.

This has always been your greatest problem. You always think you and I are opposites. We aren't. You take sides, I don't.

I just point out when you are being a Homer for your team and sending around hit piece's about the guy questioning your guy Rather than just focusing on whether there is any merit to in the question.


Here's a simple question for you: Did Fauci and the NIH fund gain of function research in China?

And did they do so after Congress has expressly asked for such research be stopped?

I bet you can't answer either question... But even worse, I bet you've never even considered either..

Coz you'd rather spend your time smearing the questioner. Yup! Pro science guy right here :)

Right! We can't have the firefighters put out your fire and the cops investigating the origins at your shed where the fire started. Too complexed.

I know, too many things at once. Can't have that. Do you even believe yourself?

And fwiw, you couldn’t cut through butter with a fucking blowtorch.

When you start playing ignorant it's damn easy. I'm not even trying.

‘You take sides, I don’t.’ I’d genuinely question this - the possibility that you DO take a side, and then try to place an idea of impartiality on top of it. Then, if anyone disagrees it is because THEY are taking sides.

You are right. As a general statement it's false. As it relates to the general tenor of my exchange here ( If you can call it that) with SWP, perhaps not.

In this particular exchange, whether it's with Bluemoon ATP or SWP it's clear they are both playing the smear my opponent game.

Whether Paul had a fake medical degree' or malpractice suit, isn't of public political interest.
However whether Fauci was suppressing evidence, smearing scientist with opposing views, or funded gain of function research in contravention of Congresses specific order not to are all serious and legitimate political questions.

That somehow SWP who has no interest whatsoever in who did what relating to Covid but has all the gossip time and nterest in a non-practicing Doctor's Malpractice suits tells it's own story.

I'm just here for the ride.

 

[Dax777]

Ah! I miss the good old days of 'Not My President' 'Hey hey! Ho hol Donald Trump has got to go'...

Maxine Waters telling us all to push back on those Republicans "and let them know they aren't welcome here."

Pelosi musing about why there aren't more riots in the streets

A few Senators just feeling the urge to punch a President and Kamala Harris jokingly implying she'd extinguish The President and VP in an elevator ride...

You know, back when it was all fun and games.



You know until it wasn't :)



You know, the good old days when it was acceptable, perhaps even expected to protest the Election you disagreed with. But hey, we got Biden now so no more of that nonsense...

"Fuck Donald Trump! " Now that's Patriotic.


"Let's Go Brandon!" You Despicable Slurring ****!

You're not well are you?

And that’s why you’re having your arse handed to you despite your cognitive dissonance making you completely unaware of the fact.
