  1. He's never been afraid to admit he was wrong! That's part of what he means by calling himself an exponent of "science".

  2. Ronald Reagan, too.

  3. Well, Ronald Reagan "couldn't recall" whether he had traded weapons (to the Contras) for hostages. (Am I the only one here old enough to remember this?)

  4.  @Mark-nx7mr  He certainly played the role very very well. And he was lucky. Bill Clinton was lucky the same way. For 2024, the Dems should nominate Jodie Foster (if she can be convinced to run) and the Republicans should nominate Mike Tyson.

  5.  @KenJackson_US  There are several reasons. She's extremely smart and energetic, she knows how to play the role of the trustworthy leader who has the country's problems in hand (just as Reagan knew how to play the role of the simple, down-to-earth, obedient, optimistic ordinary-guy); she's a 21st-Century-type family person - a devoted mother and spouse; she's very well-connected to the wealthy elite, she's a good judge of character, and she's a household name.

  6. RE: "I lost everything over declining the vaccine first my job now my home!" You should have taken the vaccine! RE: "I’m overwhelmed because both of my children are autistic." Wait a minute! Your kids are autistic and you didn't take the vaccine? I thought the vaccines were what caused autism.

  7. It was very likely. He wasn't the only one to predict it. The fact is, the more we interact with people in the tropics, the higher the risk of having tropical diseases spread out of the tropics. Also, given our previous history with coronaviruses, it was statistically very likely that there would be another one. You guys should focus less on trying to "get" Fauci - you won't succeed, because he (almost certainly) didn't do anything wrong - and think about the real dangers, which are, the next big pathogen which will likely hit us in less than a decade, and extremely likely some time in the next 20 years. Every day, it gets easier and easier for some crazy apocalypse-minded fanatic with too much money to build a covert lab and genetically engineer worse variants of the virus. Imagine if there were suddenly a variant which caused two percent of patients to go blind. Sure, sci-fi writers have been writing about engineered pathogens for many many years, but now, there's a simple, flow-chart-type method for attempting to actually do it. Fauci is not the problem. The problem will be someone like Osama bin Laden would be if he had gone to grad school and taken a degree in molecular biology or genetic engineering, and then gotten a few years of practical lab experience under his belt before retiring to whacko-land.
