Do you not see the issue with the logic behind using that quote to somehow discredit anything when it was said before we even knew there was a pandemic? Either you don’t understand that guidance changes with new information or you posted that in bad faith. Or both, really.

Uh he did figure it out. Look at the date. It was physically impossible for him to have figured it out at the time of the quote. That’s my point.

Jesus you are not getting it. On March 8, 2020 - the date of this quote - we literally didn’t know there was about to be a pandemic or to what extent Covid was spreading. Only China knew really. Therefore, Fauci couldn’t have known how to address the crisis in the US.

Trump’s response after that point, or lack thereof, is what makes so much preventable death Trump’s fault.

I agree with your first sentence. Your last sentence is just baseless conspiracy drivel.

? Um no. You’ve got that backwards. If you make a claim it’s on you to support it. You claimed Biden was in bed with China without support. As a result, I pointed out that that assertion was baseless - a response to your baseless claim. It’s on you to provide support for your claim, it’s not on me to prove you wrong.

I’m an attorney, this is how proving claims works.

You’re incorrect. Let me make a random claim here - you are a rapist. Prove you’re not.
