> The 2 explanations of why you think like this is either you are incapable of reading comprehension, or you are so ideologically driven that you basically make up reality in your head real time that fits your world view. And either reason is why conservatives should no longer be tolerated - because its not about my view vs yours, its about actual reality vs your insanity. Did you not read the same thing I read? He held 4 different positions in the same interview - healthy people shouldn't wear masks, then masks actually make things worse, to "I don't care if you wear them", to "healthy people wearing them causes shortages". Then add on top later on he demanded oppressive mask mandates for everyone. You call that a public health care expert? And that's not even getting into his political answers about the Wuhan lab and his involvement. The guy is a terrible, terrible public health leader, yet because he's Team Blue(tm) you give it all a pass.

Its really fascinating how your brain works. Again, you either lack basic comprehension of written text, unable to imagine the conversation taking place with a context in mind, and understand that just because the message wasn't communicated the way you would have preferred doesn't mean the message is wrong or contradictory. Or you understand all that, but you have intimately tied your ideological beliefs into your identity to the point where admitting you are wrong is basically saying to yourself that you are shell of a person. One last question: suppose we took random people off the street, and then gave them that transcript and asked them to interpret what Fauci was saying, and the vast majority of them agreed that nothing in that message was contradictory - would you change your mind? Or would you think that you are more "enlightened" than all of them?

I find it hilarious how you try and gaslight me, when even the left-wing media admits Fauci and the CDC lied on several occasions and issued contradictory statements. https://slate.com/technology/2021/07/noble-lies-covid-fauci-cdc-masks.html https://slate.com/technology/2021/07/noble-lies-covid-fauci-... "One thing is beyond a doubt, however: One of those two statements did not accurately reflect the evidence as Fauci saw it. Such high-profile mixed messages in a short time frame, without substantive new data to justify the change, generated confusion and a backlash from politicians, other experts, and the general public." Maybe it's your own "ideological beliefs" that stop you from seeing something everyone else sees?

    Just like to point out that as expected, you can't answer the question.

      There isn't much point in answering your question when you're denying something everyone already agrees happened.
