Fauci is really eating up all this attention he's been given. But for all those who put him up on his pedestal, he should be reminded he is an advisor and he serves in an advisory role. A bit too much status is being given to him and his role in "science" as being the know all and end all to the decision process.
In the big picture of things all advisors give their recommendations and data to those at the top who have to balance all factors involved in this operation in order to make the overall decisions. Data on the economy, returning to work, opening schools, vaccine distribution, etc. We all know there are other detrimental and hardship factors involved with keeping businesses hobbled and schools closed. The cure cannot be worse than the illness. Leaving all this up to - Doctor Fauci sez, is a problematic pathway to take. That is my problem with what seems to be going on.
Should Harry Truman have left the decision to use the atomic bomb completely up to Dr. Robert Oppenheimer? After all, he was the main scientist. No. I'm probably quite certain that a host of advisors weighed in and the buck stopped with Harry.
I have experience with public health professionals. Some very good ones and some others. Public health people are very good at telling you - what the public health community recommends. What I mean by that is that they never really find things out, as much as they parrot information from other public health sources. Do you ever really hear of the public health community doing experimental research? The research and information comes from outside sources and if it doesn't fit their template they do their best to dismiss it and push their model.
There's a lot to be learned from looking at the approaches of California and Florida in regards to Covid responses and outcomes but what do we hear? We hear from the MSM that California's approach is correct because Newsome is a Democrat and we should contemplate closing the border with Florida because Desantis is Republican and - there might be some new strains active in Florida. That's BS and we know it. The left fawns over Cuomo and even gives him an Emmy for his press conferences and what do we find out? Well? Was he just trusting science like the good left likes to preach? Try finding an anti-Cuomo story in the MSM right now cause their trying pretty hard to give that story the Hunter Biden treatment. Sure could be a lot to learn from that response model.
The truth is a lot of the decisions are state/local level decisions but the bureaucrats that have become emboldened into becoming little Faucis of their own is troubling.
Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.
