Fauci Decries Untruths
[Epoch Times] Dr. Anthony Fauci this week urged people to vote out members of Congress who are spreading "total lies" about COVID-19, but made a false claim himself about COVID-19 vaccines.

Fauci, speaking at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle on Aug. 9, was asked how the scientific community can deal with congressional leaders "who promulgate unscientific ideas yet control funding for public institutions."

"Vote," Fauci responded, drawing applause from the room.

In commencement speeches he’s given this year, Fauci urged graduates, "Don’t accept the normalization of untruths."

"Because there’s so much preposterous lying that goes on, and including, unfortunately it’s true ... that members in our own Congress, in our own Senate, who just get up and say things that are total lies," added Fauci. "’Vaccines kill people, that kind of thing.’ It’s so much untruths that people who have a lot of other things in their lives that they have to worry about, they kind of start accepting it and all of a sudden, lying becomes normal."
I think that horse left the barn, ran away, and died of old age, Tony.

Grandpa how old are you?

Old enough to remember when Doctors practiced medicine and not Politics.

Wow, that was ages and ages ago.

#6  I don’t think capital punishment is necessary for Fauci. Just put him in jail. If the truth is revealed about how many he killed for cash, I would think he will need solitary confinement in or out of jail regardless. Maybe God will give him the mark of Cain so that he can wander East of Eden and herd some goats.

#4  The usual suspects will continue the provocation until they are successful. If they whack a plane load of Kerry and Romney crowd with sundry grifting family, a net gain will be achieved for humanity. Best case the McCains will tag along for old times sake. Linsey Graham, McConnell or anyone in the uni-party is a win for MAGA.

Florida To Stop Spending Taxpayer Medicaid Money On Transgender Treatments
[DAILYCALLER] The state of Florida will no longer cover "gender-affirming" care under Medicaid, the state’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) ruled Thursday.

Doctors will no longer be able to bill the state’s Medicaid program for procedures and drugs including sex changes, puberty blockers and hormone therapies beginning Aug. 21. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis
...Republican governor of Florida, stone in the shoe of the Dems and their ilk, maybe one-day president...
has taken an increasingly hostile stance toward these treatments for people suffering from gender dysphoria, particularly children, according to Politico.

Florida health authorities voted last Friday to begin the process of potentially banning sex change treatments for minors, according to Politico.
Good. That’ll be the trigger for some families to move there from Blue states.
There is widespread disagreement within the medical community on whether such treatments are safe for young people. The American Academy of Pediatrics endorses sex changes for kids, but Florida’s Department of Health has accused the Department of Health and Human Services of misleading the public on the topic.

#1  Yes. This treatment should be reserved for the wealthy and over educated indoctrinated who seem so invested in promoting it. They can pay for it themselves.

#2  Medicare won't pay for laser eye surgery, it's "elective". Seems to me this transgender stuff is also elective.

#3 

Treating to correct this well documented mental illness, I can support.

Promoting the continued practice of their Mental Illness, I cannot.

What next, people that want legs and arms reformed, made to look like their "Spider Self"?
