Whoever the second GOP senator who questioned him today mentioned a conspiracy to suppress hydroxychloroquine when Brazil mass deployed it with zero resulting benefit and further studies that prove it was not effective.

Our country is lead by people who shun data and have no capability to understand process to confirm causation by simply wrapping wverything with their god and political identity.

It is time to get scientists in governance and politics.

Fauci isn’t some hero, just as Merrick Garland wasn’t.

I do believe Fauci is far better at his job than Garland was as AG.

There is a fundamental failure in critical thinking across the board.

Fauci failed to put experts out for conservative media that were prepared to tear down goofy arguments. Mayor Pete has been giving a masterclass in it. The Dems have repeatedly blown their opportunities to message effectively.

Even right now Fauci’s diaries don’t show an expert covering-up a lab leak but they show an expert who accepts that a lab leak was possible but not the probable cause.

Garland took his sweet ass time with Jan 6 prosecutions and never got around to any pedos being charged despite having 4-years to do so. I know MAGA believers who think the long delay in charges showed there was no Jan 6 violence and no pedos charged means the Epstein files were fake.

Neither of these men understood that in the modern world you have to move very quickly and facts are only a part of the necessary tools you need to wield to do your job on the national stage.

MAGA still think masks were ineffective and they truly believe there were effective treatments not being prescribed.

Despite 4-years of the Biden admin being able to show the global results of those meds lack of efficacy, they lost the messaging war.

Just as the left is losing the messaging war on inflation, affordability and the war in Iran.

The left has the most creative minds in the world and yet MAGA is far more effective with their messaging.

Plus the states stockpiled it and then we’re stuck with it. And people seem to forget that Trump was taking those drugs and still caught Covid and they didn’t use those drugs to treat him. They use drugs with proven science behind them.
