What about the doctors that do say it has shown a lot of promise? What about the cases where it has shown very good results? It appears people are automatically discrediting it because Trump is pushing it, rather than look at any evidence towards it. Again there are many doctors who speak very highly of it, and wasn’t it just passed by the fda for Coronavirus? I’m not that informed on it, but damn your response is hypocritical.
It is interesting that language (in this case, headlines) around Fauci is starting to be a bit more of this feel to it. I laughed when I saw this. But I'm not sure why.

I'm not sure I'd agree with this. Fauci is a politician with three decades worth of experience. He is very good at responding to questions without actually answering them from what I've seen. For instance, when asked about schools reopening, he led with an anecdote about his daughter who is a teacher, and proceeded to talk for several minutes about how next year would look different than this year. Hard to say he's wrong, honestly. Even his latest statement about earlier distancing saving more lives that's getting spun all sorts of ways. What he actually said was, "Obviously, if we had, right from the very beginning, shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different".
Hard to dispute the logic that if we had done things differently, it MAY have been different.
It is tiresome. You keep citing numbers in support of your position that are just blatantly wrong. Not a little off. Just completely and utterly wrong by large factors.
And yes, of course the current fatalities are far lower than that expected for an unchecked outbreak. Do you think that could have something to do with the fact that, I don't know, it's not unchecked? As indicated by, you know, the very interventions you are so vociferously complaining about?
FFS: you already have as many deaths *right now* as in a fairly standard flu season. And we're *at best* nearing the peak of the outbreak. And that is *with* massive lock-downs implemented all over the place. How on Earth are you still making this argument that it's just a little bit worse than the flu?
It's your prerogative to think that what's happening is an over-reaction. And I know you believe that we're all just one small step away from North Korea. And by all means argue for the secession of Texas. All fine. But don't keep making up facts to justify your position along the way. That's just bullshit. I thought you were better than that.
