Whatever gets your fundie ass to sleep at night -- and back to your Church of Covid.
Again, you do you. I'm good.
You demonstrate why Republicans are deplorable. You are selfish. You don't care about anyone else, and you want your selfish actions to have no consequences. Sorry. No go.
You got vaccinated, but you're trying to stop "very fine people" from getting vaccinated.
Why? Do you want them to die before they can vote in next year's election?
What is your endgame with this? Because the only people you're hurting are your own.
Every day we read another story of a "very fine person" who choked to death on a ventilator.
OVERWHELIMGLY BLACKS AND HISPANICS, BY PROPORTION.
WHEN ARE YOU GOON GROW THE BALLS TO SAY SO?

How so? They can't fire him, he's a Title 42 employee, not a political appointee.
42-50 Tenure
- All appointments, including conversions from other pay systems, to positions under 42 U.S.C. § 209(f) are in the excepted service. Work schedules may be full-time, part-time, or intermittent.
- Appointments may be indefinite. That is, they do not have a stated time limit so one may serve an entire Federal career under an indefinite appointment.

Fauci can be demoted and removed from his position of ‘eminence’. Trump would have done it months ago.

It's odd how you guys are about Fauci. Anyone in the role would have made the kinds of recommendations he made. Things we have to do during a pandemic were never going to be popular.
Anyway, it's over. COVID won. Trump supporters won. You guys should all be celebrating.

trump had almost a year to do it but he didn't, because he can't. I guess you didn't know this either.
"The question that is being asked on cable news, in media publications, and perhaps around dinner tables across the country: Can the president have Dr. Fauci fired?
The answer, based only on the evidence available to the public, is probably not. The President himself doesn’t have the authority to fire Dr. Fauci, who is a Title 42 employee and not a political appointee. But were the President to hypothetically order an official at HHS to fire Dr. Fauci, in order for the removal to be legal there would have to be cause — Dr. Fauci would had to have engaged in removable misconduct or poor performance.
Disagreeing with a President most likely does not fall into poor performance or misconduct. In fact, it is a prohibited personnel practice to make an employment-related decision because of a career employee’s political activities. While it may be acceptable for political appointees to be removed for differing opinions than those of their president, the fact that Dr. Fauci does not agree with the President about COVID-19 is NOT a valid reason to fire him.
We don’t know the details of Dr. Fauci’s work at NIH, so we can’t speak specifically to his performance or conduct on the job. However, misconduct, loosely defined, is the violation of a valid workplace rule. Is a statement made in contradiction with the President misconduct? Probably not. Dr. Fauci doesn’t appear to have violated a workplace rule, as he has authorization to speak to the press about NIAID matters."

It Covid is winning it’s because of the failure of the vax to halt transmission and a lack of emphasis on therapeutics.
Or put into two words, Anthony Fauci.
18 U.S.C. § 1001
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully—
(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device, a material fact;
(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry
shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.

If you think Fauci did 1,2 and 3 it's pointless to continue. 18 US Code covers federal crimes and criminal procedures. There were no tricks, schemes or fraudulent statements by Fauci except in the minds of anti-vaxxers. The lies came from trump's WH. *That* should have been a crime.
[FONT=var(--font-serif)]"President Trump and his advisers have taken a more hands-on role than previously known in shaping Covid-19 recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, helping create a crisis of confidence in the nation’s top public-health agency.

[FONT=var(--font-serif)]The changes the White House has sought—in many cases successfully—go beyond the agency’s public messaging. White House advisers have made line-by-line edits to official health guidance, altering language written by CDC scientists on church choirs, social distancing in bars and restaurants as well as internal summaries of public-health reports, according to interviews with current and former agency and administration officials and their emails."

Sen. Rand Paul says that newly public documents about the extent of U.S. funding of coronavirus research in Wuhan, China, show that Dr. Anthony Fauci lied during his previous testimony to Congress.

Where does it say that the money given by the NIH to EcoHealth Alliance was used for gain-of-function research? And where does it say Fauci had any ties to EcoHealthAlliance, or any authority over how they used their grants? https://www.ecohealthalliance.org/
" In 2014, the NIH awarded a grant to the U.S.-based EcoHealth Alliance to study the risk of the future emergence of coronaviruses from bats. (In 2014, the U.S. government put a pause on new funding of gain-of-function research, which it defined this way: “With an ultimate goal of better understanding disease pathways, gain-of-function studies aim to increase the ability of infectious agents to cause disease by enhancing its pathogenicity or by increasing its transmissibility.”)
In 2019, the project was renewed for another five years, but it was canceled in April 2020 — three months after the first case of the coronavirus was confirmed in the U.S. EcoHealth ultimately received $3.7 million over six years from the NIH and distributed nearly $600,000 of that total to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, a collaborator on the project, pre-approved by NIH."
And
"...on May 13, Paul said he didn’t know whether SARS-CoV-2 came from a lab. “Nobody knows,” he said. But he posited that if it did, Fauci, among others, “could be culpable for the entire pandemic,” adding, “I’m not saying that happened. I don’t know.”
Paul made the money-is-fungible argument, saying the NIH gave money to the lab, regardless of what that particular grant funded. But then asserted that NIH funding furthered risky gain-of-function research. The answer to the question of whether it did or didn’t depends on whom you ask and their definition of gain-of-function.
Hours after his May 11 exchange with Paul, Fauci at a fact-checking conference hosted by PolitiFact.com that it would “almost be irresponsible” to not collaborate with Chinese scientists given that the 2003 SARS outbreak originated in China. “So we really had to learn a lot more about the viruses that were there, about whether or not people were getting infected with bad viruses.”
He called the EcoHealth collaboration “a very minor collaboration as part of a subcontract of a grant,” and said Paul conflated that with the claim that “therefore we were involved in creating the virus, which is the most ridiculous, majestic leap I’ve ever heard of.”
Fauci said he wasn’t convinced that the coronavirus developed naturally. “I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out to the best of our ability exactly what happened.”

All I said is Fauci will be on the hot seat when republicans take control of the house in 2023. That's 16 months from now. I'm betting Fauci decides to retire.

You are officially Taichiliberal's bitch.
Sad, isn't it? The fool won't read the information that disproves his blathering, then babbles on because I won't waste time and space trying to explain things to him that he'll just deny. Typical of MAGA minions .... they consistently revise reality and then incessantly parrot it. Small wonder why I have him on IA for a month.
