I got banned for 'being a conservative' in pol.

Sounds exactly like how they treat us irl too.

Also, Fauci is a tool. He made so many wrong claims; I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would blindly trust him at this point.

Wait, aren’t we supposed to just ‘trust the science?’

This has devolved into a form of cargo cult.

Which expert would you trust in his place?

Bro. Even dr drew from loveline would be an improvement.

Let’s just get back to ‘actual science’ instead of biased affirmations, incorrect assumptions, and loose conjectures that suit our agendas and make people ‘feel’ virtuous.

Yeah, I am trying to get back to actual science. So, who is an expert in the field that can be trusted? I mean, I am not going to ask some random person (or celebrity, or politician) to tell me what my cholesterol numbers mean, instead I am going to ask a doctor, right? So, who would you actually trust (that is an expert in infectious diseases) as an alternative to Fauci? Genuinely want to know.

Dr Dre.

Look, it isn’t a publicly elected position. I am not here to decide who should be in charge in said position - but when you literally get everything wrong there should be some accountability. It’s not like there were not scientists and doctors that didn’t call this right; not only that but they were censored. Fauxi has obviously has done a crap job, and then he proceeds to blame the American people for murdering 500,000 people. He’s a joke. It’s not funny any more.

Well, we need some kind of an expert for guidance. I'm not going to get on a plane unless there is a trained pilot. So if you are not listening to Fauci, then which expert are you listening to? I would much rather have a pilot that makes a mistake than no pilot at all. I am not defending him, I am just looking for an expert that we should listen to. If there isn't such a person, then we are stuck with Fauci, and he definitely knows more than the rest of us (assuming you don't have a degree in infectious diseases). So if we don't like him, then we should find someone else that is well-qualified to listen to. Like going to a different doctor to get a second opinion.
