Nobody disagrees with any of that. The reason we reject their best estimates is because they weren't scientific. At all. In any way. Not even a little bit.
We've all read the transcript but to repeat it:
Majority Counsel: “Do you recall when discussions regarding, kind of, the at least a 6 foot threshold began?”
Dr. Fauci: “You know, I don’t recall. It sort of just appeared. I don’t recall, like, a discussion of whether it should be 5 or 6 or whatever. It was just that 6 foot is—”
Majority Counsel: “Did you see any studies that supported 6 feet?”
Dr. Fauci: “I was not aware of studies that in fact, that would be a very difficult study to do.”
It's not obvious how this could be any clearer. He states unambiguously that it wasn't a best estimate based on science, whether contemporary or pre-existing. Science doesn't even get a look in here. He didn't even know where the number came from. It became global policy but nobody can figure out why or how. He even seems to reject the idea that the question can be answered scientifically at all.
