Fauci says GOP efforts to demonise him are 'nonsense' and 'an attack on science'
2021-06-07
[INDEPENDENT.CO.UK] Dr Anthony Fauci
...American epidemiologist with rotating opinions, warnings about the unlikely, and reassurances that if you wear a mask you won't get COVID, as long as you're wearing multiple masks, assuming wearing a mask is necessary in the first place...
, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, says the latest round of conservative attacks against him are "nonsense" attacks on science.

The doctor appeared on Rachel Maddow's show on MSNBC to discuss a trove of emails of his that were obtained by BuzzFeed News and The Washington Post that are at the heart of the recent criticisms.

"Dr Fauci is the subject — in a negative way — of every hour on Fox News prime time now, where they think he can somehow be blamed for causing Covid or something, since he's the country's lead scientist on it. Or maybe he's a secret Chinese communist. I actually can't quite follow what it is they think Fauci has done so wrong,"Maddow said.

The latest attack on Dr Fauci revolves around an email in which he mentions "gain-of-function" research regarding the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
Fox News personalities like Tucker Carlson and Republican politicians — including Senator Rand Paul — have alleged that the emails prove that Dr Fauci knew the Wuhan Institute of Virology was conducting research to make coronaviruses more transmissible long before the pandemic began. They also alleged that the US funded some of that research.

#10  We've been calling this a-hole "Fauxi" here for a good year now. Obviously there was a reason for it.

"Attack on Fauci Science"
Maybe we should just list all the things the 21st Century Dr. Death's said were Science. Then he ADMITTED himself, were wrong> Then denied he said it despite video/printed/Medically published paper showing otherwise?

#3  We know they're up to something. Here's some seed money. Throw them some related 'gain of function' data points and see if you can get inside their OODA loop.

#2  It's the Fraudci comedy hour.

If you fund an enemy states bioweapon research, Treason.

#1  Dr. Fraudci is a political creature who has been in the same administrative position for decades.

Anyone who claims that "in questioning me you attack 'science' " is clearly not a scientist but a fraud. Rising questions and being skeptical is the whole idea.
