Dude, this shit is exhausting. Fauci could've been promoting a lockdown instead of promoting a narrative about how this public health crisis can only be solved through personal responsibility. Now we're pivoting to the idea that black people are irrational, and nevermind that a quarter million people were just killed as a matter of convenience and how that might affect your trust in the government.

Anyway, my mom is mad at me for saying I hope Fauci gets COVID. How could I say that about this man who has no influence but is somehow still on CNN every fucking day?

    I'm in the world of hypotheticals now, but I don't think a Trump buffoon worse than Fauci would have the credibility to influence discourse at all. For whatever reason people are still looking to Fauci and it seems to me like he's lying to them.

        That we don't need a lockdown and that masks used imperfectly along with a vaccine many people won't take will be sufficient.

          Ah shit, you weren't kidding

          Fauci said the US has 'no appetite' for lockdowns but mask wearing and distancing could be enough, the day after a Biden advisor called for a weeks-long lockdown

          We live in hellworld.

            I didn't even see that. I thought he was problematic in a more subtle way. Maybe I hope he gets Ebola instead.
