They were not said by politicians and hypotheses, they were said as fact. You'd be hard pressed to find a clip of Biden, for example, leaving any noticeable room for the unknown when talking about vaccine efficacy or what would happen as long as we all complied.
100% agree about not waiting for complete information, that doesn't exist in science. Its all about informed consent though - inform the public of what is known and unknown and allow them to choose for themselves.
- triceratops 2y ago> what would happen as long as we all complied. Maybe the problem was we didn't all comply.
- _heimdall 2y agoI'm not even raising the question of whether they were right, only that the claims were based in hope rather than sound scientific findings.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoNot sure about Biden, but it's certainly easy to find Fauci clips "leaving noticeable room for the unknown".
- _heimdall 2y agoWhen in Congress and under oath, sure. Fauci was often claiming efficacy of the vaccines with regards to transmissibility which simply wasn't studied. He also made plenty of claims regarding herd immunity that he later acknowledged knowing at the time weren't accurate and were made mainly to convince the public to comply.
