Wow, you're 100% aren't you.
And Oscar is trans.
The COVID guidelines were set by the CDC, not Fauci. Fauci was an NIH administrator but was often more correct than the CDC. The mRNA and protein vaccines saved 14.4 M lives worldwide, about 4M in the US.
- Dr. Fauci showed no remorse for the millions of lives affected by his divisive rhetoric and his unscientific policies. He did not apologize to the thousands of Americans who lost their jobs because they refused the novel vaccine, nor did he apologize to children experiencing severe leaning loss as a result of actions he promoted.
- Dr. Fauci confirmed that his Senior Advisor — Dr. David Morens — violated official NIH policies and potentially broke federal law. Evidence obtained by the Select Subcommittee suggests that Dr. Morens deliberately obstructed the Select Subcommittee’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19, unlawfully deleted federal COVID-19 records, and shared nonpublic information about National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant processes with his “best-friend” EcoHealth Alliance, Inc. (EcoHealth) President Dr. Peter Daszak.
- Dr. Fauci maintained his misleading claim that the NIH never funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China. In 2021, he told Sen. Rand Paul that “the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” During yesterday’s hearing, Dr. Fauci doubled down on his previous claim by stating “the NIH did not fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” Notably, former Acting NIH Director Dr. Lawrence Tabak told the Select Subcommittee recently that the NIH did, in fact, fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan.
- Dr. Fauci agreed with the Select Subcommittee that EcoHealth and its president, Dr. Peter Daszak, should never again receive a single cent from the U.S. taxpayer. Two weeks after the Select Subcommittee released evidence of EcoHealth’s contempt for the American people, its flagrant disregard for the risks associated with gain-of-function research, and its willful violation of the terms of its NIH grant, the Department of Health and Human Services commenced formal debarment proceedings against the organization and its president.
- Dr. Fauci corrected his previous testimony that his staff did not possess conflicts of interest. During his transcribed interview he claimed, “the only people that I am involved with is my own staff, who we’ve mentioned many times in this discussion, who don’t have a conflict of interest.” During yesterday’s hearing, he changed his tune testifying that Dr. Morens “definitely had a conflict of interest.”
- Dr. Fauci publicly acknowledged that the lab leak hypothesis was possible and not a conspiracy theory. Yesterday, he told Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) that he falsely claimed that he has kept an “open mind” about the origins of the pandemic. This comes nearly four years after prompting the publication of the now infamous “Proximal Origin” paper that attempted to vilify and disprove the lab leak hypothesis.
COVID guidelines caused millions to suffer. Now Fauci admits 'there was no science behind it.'
Many of us could have told Dr. Anthony Fauci his COVID-19 guidelines were doing harm.www.usatoday.com

I thought that was Elmo.
I thought Oscar is an incel. Which is why he’s such a grouch.
Depending on the magazine, I wouldn't put too much faith in it. Not only does that mutation have to happen ,it has to happen in a time and place that it can perpetuate. It can't be too deadly or it will kill its victims before they can spread the disease. It can't happen in a too isolated situation for the same reason. When and if it happens ,later outbreaks tend to increase in infection rates until some herd immunity builds and decrease in deadliness.
That has to be fake.after reading this thread, I switched over to FB and this came up on my feed:
Based on your position, it would be the natural progression.
It is.

It would have been nice if he had promoted the vaccine and had implemented a vaccine plan like Biden did.
I suspect Fauci, for Trumpers, quickly became a symbol of everything they hated about covid - the masking requirements, closing of schools and businesses, vaccine requirements,etc. The fact that he wasn't really in charge of the shutdowns doesn't matter, for Trumpers he became the symbol of it all. And Fauci, like the UnitedHealthcare CEO who was recently murdered, is a symbol of everything Trumpers in particular hate about our healthcare establishment. The fact that Fauci was a medical expert who just wanted to save lives using the best available evidence and techniques, while Trump was (and is) a dumbass who demonized Fauci while his own bungling covid response likely led to unnecessary deaths was, as usual, just ignored by these same people. Basically, what they really want Fauci punished for is for having the nerve to ask the government to require them to wear masks and shutting down restaurants and businesses and vaccine requirements and so on. They don't have any list of real crimes that he's committed, but thanks to Trump's demonization of the guy and their own resentments and grievances they just want him punished for the pandemic. He's their scapegoat.
And maybe wearing a mask himself might have convinced more of his followers to do so. But he rarely was shown in public with a mask, especially as the pandemic progressed.

I'm not sure how Fauci killed freedom. The CDC only makes recommendations, they don't give orders.
It is my understanding that this flu is now being passed between cattle, between wild cats, and some other non-avian species.
You're making about as many assumptions as I am. The mutation hasn't happened. When it does, we have no idea other than crossing the species barrier what effects that will have on the virus concerning either how contagious or virulent it will be. Since we do have antivirals that mitigate the disease now, how much affect would early diagnosis have on that fatality rate? As you say, it's a rare disease so it's going to be a bit down the list as a diagnosis, barring a bit of inspiration. Seems like vaccines and early testing is the way to go.
I don't think naturally occurring viruses should be our primary concern. Nature doesn't always do a good job of creating highly contagious viruses that are also extremely deadly. Usually it's one or the other, and COVID would be included in that. It was extremely contagious, but not very deadly.
I question your expertise.
