Anthony Stephen Fauci is an American physician-scientist and immunologist who serves as the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the chief medical advisor to the president.

Dr Rand Paul is an eye doctor.

I will take the word of a scientist over an eye doctor when it comes to being an expert in infectious diseases.

No mask. the world wont end if you refuse to wear one. those times i was refused service and kicked off that job are pretty minor for the traveling i have done and over a years time. dont whine on tman. stand up and say no

Anyone who says trust the science really must not know how science works. Trust is a strong word to use for something that is meant to be questioned. Science doesn't work without it. We have done a disservice to society by teaching youth to TRUST SCiENCE. Unless it's a scientific law it technically hasn't been proven accurate. If you haven't noticed health related science changes on a pretty quick basis. There are a lot of shitty scientist, doctors, phds, and just people in general. Just because they say their a scientist or an expert doesn't mean they should earn your full trust, you should question, investigate, and develop a conclusion based on the facts at present knowing that in fact it could change tomorrow. People put way to much trust in Fauci

I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had. Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period. In addition, let me remind you that the track record of the consensus is nothing to be proud of.Let's review a few cases. In past centuries, the greatest killer of women was fever following childbirth . One woman in six died of this fever. In 1795, Alexander Gordon of Aberdeen suggested that the fevers were infectious processes, and he was able to cure them. The consensus said no. In 1843, Oliver Wendell Holmes claimed puerperal fever was contagious, and presented compelling evidence.The consensus said no. In 1849, Edelweiss demonstrated that sanitary techniques virtually eliminated puerperal fever in hospitals under his management. The consensus said he was a Jew,ignored him, and dismissed him from his post. There was in fact no agreement on puerperal fever until the start of the twentieth century. Thus the consensus took one hundred and twenty five years to arrive at the right conclusion despite the efforts of the prominent "skeptics" around the
-6-world, skeptics who were demeaned and ignored. And despite the constant ongoing deaths of women. There is no shortage of other examples. In the 1920s in America, tens of thousands of people,mostly poor, were dying of a disease called pellagra. The consensus of scientists said it was infectious, and what was necessary was to find the "pellagra germ." The US government asked a brilliant young investigator, Dr. Joseph Goldberger, to find the cause. Goldberger concluded that diet was the crucial factor. The consensus remained wedded to the germ theory. Goldberger demonstrated that he could induce the disease through diet. He demonstrated that the disease was not infectious by injecting the blood of a pellagra patient into himself, and his assistant. They and other volunteers swabbed their noses with swabs from pellagra patients, and swallowed capsules containing scabs from pellagra rashes in what were called "Goldberger's filth parties." Nobody contracted pellagra. The consensus continued to disagree with him. There was, in addition, asocial factor-southern States disliked the idea of poor diet as the cause, because it meant that social reform was required. They continued to deny it until the 1920s. Result-despite a twentieth century epidemic, the consensus took years to see the light. Probably every schoolchild notices that South America and Africa seem to fit together rather snugly, and Alfred Wegener proposed, in 1912, that the continents had in fact drifted apart. The consensus sneered at continental drift for fifty years. The theory was most vigorously denied by the great names of geology-until 1961, when it began to seem as if the sea floors were spreading.The result: it took the consensus fifty years to acknowledge what any schoolchild sees. And shall we go on? The examples can be multiplied endlessly. Jenner and smallpox, Pasteur and germ theory. Saccharine, margarine, repressed memory, fiber and colon cancer, hormone replacement therap6y......the list of consensus errors goes on and on.

You may be right yotetrapper. I don't know enough about him . I know he has hammered on some liberal bs lately that got my attention .

That and figured I'd give BC a jab

Problem with Fauci is,, Savell aint smacked em with a Longneck Lonestar yet.

Lower taxes, less government intrusion, strong proponent of 2A...

The horror.

Mike

Doesn't Paul genuflect in the direction of Mira Lago every time he hears the name "Trump"?

Or do I have him confused with another GOP senator? Like, all of them.

I trust Dr. Fauci more than any politician.

Jim

Who do your friends in Washington genuflect to? If we knew that we might know who is really running this country.
