For far too many people on the Left, Fauci has truly become the High Priest of COVID, and they are his flock.
This is why they become so incredibly ANGRY when anyone questions their “Savior’s” motives, ideas, or actions. This thread does a pretty exceptional job of explaining the whole crazy mess.
"The Democratic Party has become the party not of science, but of fealty to the clerics of science. 'I believe in science' has come to mean, 'I do not question expert authority,' which is as antithetical to the scientific spirit as you can get …"https://t.co/8A9Cw1VLSB

That is terrifying.

Almost like COVID was pretty damn lucrative.
Hell, it was for Andrew Cuomo … and we all know Fauci is the highest-paid federal employee.
"At every such juncture, we’ve been admonished to 'believe the science.' But this is not science; it’s politics. Science demands a reflexive posture of skepticism toward received wisdom, tempered by trust in empirical evidence …"

This is not science.
IT’S POLITICS.
