The American conservative/libertarian blogosphere/social media has rarely been more awash with ultra-dumb CTs than in the post Orange Moron era. This one from 'GEEEZ....':
Last night, Steve Hilton, of The Next Revolution (the show name which cracks me up since he’s British..we know what happened in our last revolution!), explained last night how it is FAUCI WHO MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY CAUSED COVID.
Yes, it took hundreds of epidemiologists to convince Obama to STOP “Gain of function research” and Obama did BAN IT…But Fauci got funding for it and moved the work to the Wuhan lab….where an ‘accident’ seems to have happened.
FAUCI HIMSELF COULD BE RESPONSIBLE…and now he only goes on CNN or MSNBC: He will not come on FOX. WHY?
So has Fauci caused Covid? It would be irresponsible NOT to SPECULATE!!
Com'on folks, he doesn't want to appear on Faux Noise, where are the clueses? Discuss and contrast!!
Source of this carnival of stupidity.
Fauci IS the highest paid civil servant in Government...
ReplyDeleteSo?
ReplyDeleteO/T:
Out of reebs alert!
T'was lovely though....
Any you fancied more than Chimay (for future reference)?
DeleteIncidentally, I fully agree that this de-platforming nonsense is wrong and dangerous.
ReplyDeleteBut fans of the OM should perhaps remember how he treated some members of the press and that crying Fake News! at everything you disagree with is also very wrong and lazy.
And buying into trashy CTs like the above is both wrong and perilous.
The extent to which conservatives fail to agree with liberal ideologies through their own ideology is hardly a CT. That you take your own ideology as Gospel Truth is a problem.

ReplyDelete'Geeez' Fauci hilarious nonsense is not a case of that. It is a plain CT, designed to deflect blame away from Dear Leader and towards an honourable man who did, broadly speaking, a good job. It's both shameful, mendacious and stupid.
Any amount of 'intellectualizing' that (a bad habit of yours) won't change that.
You really think that Fauci is doing a good job? You really think that shutting down the economy and killing millions of small businesses prevented the spread of anything? IMO, it spread because that's what virus do and there's NOTHING you can do to prevent it since we're all interdependent for food and essential services. You really think wearing three masks and a sixteenth century "plague doctor" coat helps?
DeleteIMO the virus only kills those with weak or weakened immune systems. If you have a healthy immune system, you've nothing to worry about.
DeleteI haven't had a flu shot in decades, and guess what, I'm not getting a COVID shot if I can avoid it.
DeleteFaucism is the highest form of White-coat Supremacy. ;)
DeleteAnd 'we' may have our 'gospels' but so do 'you', especially surrounding the Orange Moron.
ReplyDeleteSo MUCH bull Joe. So Much.
ReplyDeleteIMO, it spread because that's what virus do [...]
And what, pray tell DO viruses do?

BS. Perfectly healthy people have caught it and sometimes suffered badly. And when they have it they are infectious.
I'm not getting a COVID shot if I can avoid it.
Sigh. Such a ridiculous POLITICAL statement
Au contraire. I think that the medical establishment could benefit from demonstrating a little hubris and admitting just how little control over the spread that they really have.
DeleteMost scientists don't deny the picture is in constant flux and that we don't know what lies around the corner. The knowledge we have may not be brilliant but it's the best we have.
DeleteThis is normal in new, embryonic science: QM/QFT wasn't built in a day either.
Re. vaccinations, consider a variant of Pascal's wager.
Deletea. The whole virus thing is a hoax and the vaccine is saline solution.
b. The virus is real, dangerous and the vaccine works well.
Either way, taking the vaccine is a winner. Not doing so is really just a statement. It has no medical or other function.
Full disclosure: I run a pub in Scarborough called The Duchess. We hurt badly due to the virus but I see no other possibility than use restrictive measures in order to finally knock it out.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun-to-visit place... I love pub food. We eat "in" a lot now... and we do carry-out instead of dining out. Anything to keep the local economy rolling.
DeleteIt's a very fun place when there are no viruses lurking about!
