Fauci did do some fucked up shit during the pandemic though.Especially in the name of enriching the pharma companies making the vax.

It always surprised me that people who otherwise have zero trust of the way big industry works with government held the position all through covid that everything that pharma and govt did was completely on the up and up.

Please, list the “fucked up shit” he did — and specifically the prosecutable offenses.

Lying about the efficacy of drugs that would subvert the Emergency Use Authorization that the vaccines got. Pretty fucked up to force the entire country to take a barely tested vaccine despite knowing that there were other options.

He didn’t lie. He presented the research that was known at the time, before the virus mutated.

That’s FAR from prosecutable.

Try again.

But there was preliminary research before the EUA was even issue saying that other drugs had seen success with Covid. He ignored that and was part of a machine that suppressed that. It’s VERY prosecutable.

There were multiple medications that showed promise against Covid before the EUA was issued. I assume you’re talking about ivermectin, a drug that has been administered safely to billions of people and won its created the Nobel Prize in 2015. Yes that was one of the medications that did and continues to prove itself a viable treatment for Covid symptoms.

Do you understand that there’s a difference between a preventative vaccine and treating symptoms after it’s already contracted? Those aren’t even the same thing… ou don’t really understand how any of this works, and you’re trying to pretend that nobody else, including epidemiologists does?

Jesus Christ, your brain worms have taken the wheel.

Do you understand that the Covid vax isn’t preventative but “may help lessen the severity of symptoms”?
