Disregard the fact that I can google that Fauci totally mishandled AIDS (whatever it may be I wasn't alive, but other people were alive), has never done anything right really in his whole career, he is a doctor who holds a high position in the US government and this makes anything he says more important than what I say. Let alone I've been screaming bloody murder since March and April and right about everything, with the help of this board, but objectively right about everything, Fauci has been right about nothing, probably had money hedged in the great crash in March based on his facial features and emotions during those press conferences where he was thinking, "Holy shit they bought it!" and rubbing his head like a megalomaniac, I would be too if I had $3,000,000 invested knowing that it was about to go up 100x based upon his press conference.
Again though, what do I know, I'm just a professional engineer, meaning I have NO understanding of cell biology, epidemiology, or general critical thinking and application abilities. He's a doctor, and I need to shut up lol. Meanwhile our GDP slides 35% and we print 4 trillion dollars to create an unemployed master class getting $600 / week and I'm supposed to smile and take it and say, yeah, I want to have children in this system.
The problem is America is a sterile, linear, uncreative culture AND THAT'S HOW people want it. So I mean...... I suppose we just have to deal with general economic deterioration for the next three years, or as CNN says, we will "NEVER GO BACK TO NORMAL" and I'm supposed to carry on lol. Vaccines, cfrs, papers, doctors, science, none of this shit matters. What matters is Americans willingly gave up their freedoms upon baseless whispers of fear and they will do so at the drop of a hat or tiny nudge from any person in a position of authority henceforth into the future.
C'est la vie. God have mercy upon us.
