Government talking point

Senator Bernie Moreno’s viral outburst is promoted as righteous truth-telling, substituting personal attacks for substantive critique. The emotion-first framing is meant to cement followers’ belief that scientific advisers were malicious rather than merely mistaken.

I agree with Moreno but what is going to be done? Fauci needs to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

Fauci only served in an advisory role. Lockdowns and safety measures were largely implemented by state and local governments. I wish we could peek into an alternate universe to see the carnage that would've been wrought if everyone continued on with their lives without those measures. We got glimpses early on in densely populated cities like NYC, prior to the safety protocols and vaccines. We also watched a rather sparsely populated state like South Dakota become a leading hotspot after Noem decided to ignore the experts. Google it. I say this with all due disrespect - people who are trying to paint Fauci and the rest of the epidemiologists and virologists and immunologists as villains have no fucking idea what they're talking about. They weren't like, "let's make them all maintain a bit of distance and wear masks" just to laugh about it.
