- kevinventullo 4y agoOof, yeah fair enough.
- nradov 4y agoIt was an interview on MSNBC's Chuck Todd show, not a press conference. "attacks on me are, quite frankly, attacks on science" - Dr. Anthony Fauci, 2021 https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/09/fauci-blasts-preposterous-covid-conspiracies-accuses-critics-of-attacks-on-science.html https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/09/fauci-blasts-preposterous-co... In context his statement was a bit more nuanced. But I don't think it's healthy for a bureaucrat to try to personify a process. Taking political opposition personally is seldom productive.
- OrvalWintermute 4y agoThe biggest problem with Dr. Fauci's statements are different than from what is being discussed. I believe in the scientific method, and I also know there is a distinct possibility that a statement I make today, based on what we know today, may be incredibly wrong. Dr. Fauci's statements are frightening because they lack intellectual humility, and they remind me of a comic book phrase, rather than a statement by a leading physician or researcher. Would we expect anything different from Judge Dredd? [1] [1] https://youtu.be/miVoe7U6Lx4?t=30 https://youtu.be/miVoe7U6Lx4?t=30
