COVID was politicized at a GLOBAL level... I realize there are a lot of bad virus strains out there -- currently they are trying to eradicate the "Woke Mind Virus" and I wish them luck because we both know you can't fix stupid.
What I seen happen under COVID, people getting quarantined and dying alone in hospitals -- the mass hysteria, the masks, the arrows put on grocery store floors directing traffic -- the social distancing...
Yet some people were deemed "essential" and pretty much went home every night and spread it to their friends and family who were all stuck at home all day because the country was closed down.
Why do you say what you're saying PowerStroker? Is your party over in China cooking up a new virus hoping to hamstring Trump once more?

Hardly, my party believes in science. We would never put a vaccine skeptic in charge of HHS. Nor would we recommend horse deworming meds or bleach injections as a treatment for a virus. We would defer to medical professionals with actual degrees and expertise in the subject matter. Which by the way, is exactly what we did.
Hardly is right... Your party only believes in the science when it's advantageous to its political position! Take men having babies, men who identify as women playing in women's sports, the fact that an N95 mask can not capture something as small as the COVID virus.
The list goes on and on... Forcing vaccinations, stigmas -- we see it with every crazy liberal out there who keys a Tesla.

Transgender rights have nothing to do with science or coronavirus. N95 masks won't block a virus, but they can significantly reduce the droplets in which they travel.
You know what would have worked better than N95 masks?
Not funding gain-of-function research!
No DNC be easier and more efficient. Then there is no one trying to cheat elections like with covid scams, mass illegals, mules dumping votes.... Who they going to run against Elon and Big Balz? Crockett? Shawn Fain was their hidden ace in the hole and he blew the dem party.
That's a popular conspiracy theory, and that's all it is.
Did you happen to catch Dr. Fauci's hearing today? Where he plead the fifth over 70 times?
Doesn't seem like "a popular conspiracy theory" anymore!
I'm still paying for COVID-19! I will be for decades! You and everyone else are also paying for COVID-19 today, and you will all be for decades as well -- regardless if you realize it or not!

He wasn't brought to testify because the senators are actually interested in his expertise, they called him in for a perjury trap, and he's not going to play that game.
Those questions weren't, but they were warm ups to questions that would have been. Best to stop the game before it even starts. Fauci no longer works for the government. If the Senate wants expert testimony on Coronavirus, they should call the current experts on the payroll.
You see, that is just it... COVID was only a game for people like Fauci, everyone else was forced to take it seriously! The current experts weren't the ones responsible for the shit-show that ensued as a result of the "Doctors" in charge during the plandemic.
And who keeps a diary of all the famous people they met during their five minutes of fame? Fauci thought he was famous because he was cool -- rather than the fact he was the Doctor in charge that people relied on for honest advice!

Yes there most certainly is! Fauci has to come clean with the fact he got swept away in all the fame -- and that he went overboard in his recommendations to close schools and create what can only be described as panic!
Other Doctors in the future need to look at Fauci and know the shame that will rightfully bestow them should they take his path in the future! It's VERY important!
Furthermore, China needs to be exposed and sent the bill for their Wuhan lab failure in allowing the virus to not only escape their lab -- but also spread around the world!
We should start by making China pay every American businesses EIDL loans and work up from there!

Fauci "got" himself... Republicans did not do anything but review and question Fauci's own statements and actions!
He took the 5th because he is under the false impression that the rest of the country didn't have to live through the PAGES of craziness in this thread!
I also cannot resist the opportunity to mention this whole "get" a guy reminds me a lot of Democrats trying to "get" Trump -- only you guys perp walked him!
Americans have been through hell over COVID, and I for one am not happy about many things that came to pass as a result of COVID or Dr. Fauci's actions!
Maybe you need to go back and read this thread from the start -- maybe you have forgotten? I haven't! And I won't for a very long time!

Tortured the hell out of the poor things. Put bags around their heads with biting gnats inside, removed their vocal chords so they couldn't make a sound. This is everywhere except MSM of course. They did save alot of the beagles he didn't get to yet and many have adopted them. It's not bullshit he is a demon. Fuck with people is one thing but an animal with nothing but love? Really bothers me.
From what I can tell, there was a horrible study done in Tunisia that did to beagles exactly what you described. And a publication called PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases Journal mistakenly made the claim that NIAID was funding that research.
That publication has since issued a correction that NIAID was not involved in the aforementioned research, or the funding of it. However, a right wing conspiracy theory site called White Coat Waste Project continues to assert without any evidence that NIAID is involved in the beagle research, and their views are echoed by Donald Trump Jr, and other partisans.
So, since Fauci's connection to beagle torture has been debunked from the moment the original PLOS publication issued a correction, is there anything else you guys don't like about him?

Doctor Fauci is a poor-poor scientist and an even worse Doctor! Suck-ass socialist like yourself were very happy when he tried to FORCE the wearing of masks and vaccinations and these are just the two VERY BIG issues!
Do not try and minimize the impact Doctor Fauci had on life during his tenure as the United States infectious disease director! The guy was an absolute QUACK as is playing out in front of your own very eyes right now!
This so-called "Doctor" shut down schools, killed small businesses by the hundreds of thousands -- made outrageously BAD recommendations as it pertains to mandatory distances, plexiglass dividers, directional arrows on the floors at supermarkets -- and the entire time he was just on a power-trip doing the exact opposite of everything he was pushing on to the American public!
Shame on you PowerStroker for being such a partisan HACK that you are defending this mans actions! This makes you no better of a person than Fauci himself, which I don't feel is shocking in the least given your past positions on a great many things!
Fauci is a sawed off halfwit, Trump's problem was knowing this -- yet still letting the little cocksucker gain traction at his televised COVID briefings where Fauci was more than willing to interject himself as a foremost authority -- even at the expense of making Trump look bad! Right in Trump's face at the briefings he was to be bringing professional console. The people who died alone in hospitals as Fauci wielded the very "gain of function" aka "panic" -- was disgustingly unprofessional and from admissions in his own diary -- rooted in vanity!
You can get on your knees and kiss Fauci's ass all you want PowerStroker -- because in reality you're no better than he is! Just another liberal who could give a flying fuck about anyone else but themselves!

Fauci didn't mandate masks or shut down anything, he merely informed the policy makers who did. And his advice represented the best practices given the data available at the time. His advise was based on science, not politics. Would you prefer a non scientific approach during the next pandemic?
Would you prefer making some Republican look good, or saving the most lives. As a pro-life guy, this must be a frustrating decision... I suppose such frustration might make someone want to scapegoat someone like Fauci, but it's not a good use of your efforts.

You just proved my point! Fauci was experimenting with "gain of function" only his personal desires for fame and free dinners made him suggest the most restrictive and unnecessary panic this country has ever seen!
Trump was not spared the mud on his face, he would go on to lose the election to a man who hid in the basement to conceal his cognitive decline -- aka President Joe Biden.
Trump made a bad pick with Fauci! Trump himself suffers from vanity issues -- there was not enough room on that stage for Trump and the sawed off half-wits vanity! Something had to give and it was our rights!
Trump should have stuck with only Doctor Deborah Brix and kept Fauci and his "gain of function" ambitions sidelined at all cost!
We would have ALL survived COVID much better had it not been for Doctor Fauci's recommendations to employ his "gain of function" experiment. Shit, half the people they killed with this panic were probably just scared to death!

Yeah, he's a liar, crook, caused lockdowns, his wife is NIH so it was all in the bag. 111 plead the fifth? Why if your so innocent. Why a fake pardon so far in the past?
I'm absolutely against testing on dogs, and to the extent the US actually does testing on dogs, be it a government agency, or private industry, it should absolutely stop. The Tunisia tests you brought up are absolutely horrific, but Fauci wasn't involved with that. Headline USA should do a little more research and re-publish the correction made by the PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases Journal that admits their mistake in linking NIH to those atrocities.
The continuation of an already debunked story serves nobody that values truth. There are plenty of actual bad things going on, we don't need to latch on to false ones to push a narrative.
Its' not enough to call someone a liar and crook, I need actual examples that haven't been debunked.
And Rex, Fauci's recommendations were not about personal vanity, they were to try and reduce a very real public health emergency to the extent possible. The United States had the highest number of Covid deaths in the world at over 1.2 million. The only reason this so disproportionately affected the US, is because it became a political issue. People "did their own research" by visiting the same kinds of conspiracy websites that link Fauci to beagle torture, and absolutely believed everything they read there. The result being, once a vaccine became available, there was a statistically noticeable increase in mortality rates among the "do my own research" crowd.
Essentially, what happened in the US due to Covid19, was a perfect demonstration for why health guidance needs to NOT be a political issue, or even perceived as political. And our death statistics relative to the rest of the world show how badly we failed at that. This wasn't Fauci's failure, it was a failure of people who refused to listen to him. It cost us in lives, lots of lives, and if we don't learn from that mistake, we are destined to repeat it. I will never understand the apparent hatred some people have for evidence based policy, or the hatred they have for the non partisan professionals who spend their lifetimes pursuing it for the public good.
When Trump himself came down with a bad case of Covid, and there were real questions about what his outcome would be, he didn't "do his own research." Instead he got experimental monoclonal antibodies that likely saved his life. He turned to people like Fauci for treatment, because he knew they were the people who, like Fauci, also spent their lives in the pursuit of evidence based treatments. And, as a result, Trump lived. The president was provided a treatment from actual career professionals that nobody else yet had access to. And Trump lived, and he went on to win in 2024. And then Trump proceeded to fire the top FDA official that authorized the experimental monoclonal antibodies that ended up saving his life.
Eventually there won't be any qualified people left, just a bunch of unqualified sycophants "doing their own research." Just pray when that day comes you don't need any science based treatments for anything. Because all you'll get is a mouth full of horse de-worming meds, and a vein full of bleach... Actually, didn't you need some evidence based treatments for something recently? And didn't you seek it from actual experts? And didn't you live as a result? It would seem that deep down, when it really matters to save your life, you'll abandon your principles. Fauci isn't the hypocrite, you are.

It's obviously a complete waste of time trying to argue with a socialist/communist. Your party is absolute shit PowerStroker! As a result of being such an idiot your party is being taken over from within -- and there is really nothing you can do about it!
Your entire state is a shit-hole, overrun by Somalians because stupid is and stupid does -- and that is how you ended up with an idiot like Walz!
Fauci and Democrat Governors are the primary reason COVID became such a circus! You didn't see the lunacy in Red states as you did in Blue states and there is a reason for that! Bigotry and that "get him" mentality during the Trump administration is what caused it!
People in car accidents who were ejected from the vehicle and then picked out of a tree were being claimed as "COVID" fatalities... The bluer the state -- the more the bullshit! That is the truth!
I recently was poisoned from carbon monoxide leaking from a bad water heater and required treatment... but of course you're going to try and re-write that to fit your narrative too!
You sit there all angry, telling your fabricated lies -- then you wonder why your party can't win an election? People are tired of your bullshit, I suspect you'll have two more years to think about it, as a majority of this nation is not as willing to had over the country to your socialist/communist handlers.
Just get your prayer rug, face East and pray to your God... because he/she don't care if you are a lying, cheating POS -- whatever it takes!
You know PowerStroker, for being woke -- you sure need to wake the hell up!

Being referred to DOJ for contempt of Congress is one thing, but having DOJ actually be willing to prosecute it would require them to believe they have a valid case with a high chance of conviction. If the contempt referral doesn't have a single Democratic vote in favor of it, DOJ will likely see that as an indication that a jury would also not convict. And since they have limited resources, they generally prioritize actual crimes with a higher chance of conviction, rather than playing into political theatre.
Rand Paul didn't even bother bringing the Fauci contempt to the full senate for a vote, which is another reason DOJ will likely pass on it. But at least it makes some people feel good.
