I know a few doctors and the vast, vast majority of patients have what you thought they had when they walked in the door. Boring, could-have-guessed illnesses (or maybe not). 99 times out a 100, if the doctor thinks it's something els

Have you not see the video? It wasn't civil, it looked like a couple of long-lost best friends catching up. Obama had made his comments about "wannabe dictator" only a week or so earlier. Actions speak louder than words.

I absolutely am! Which is why when Obama and Trump looked like they were best friends, that action spoke way louder than Obama's words.

You're not supposed to take the Democratic talking points about Trump being a "wannabe dictator" seriously. It's just political mudslinging. I figured that was obvious after Trump and Obama were all buddy-buddy at Carte

You're comparing decades of science that results in different conclusions, to a 13 day period? And don't you think it's smart to not make definitive statements if you don't really know ? This is all basic public relatio

How you can read even just this conversation and walk away without thinking Fauci is at best terrible at public health communications, at worst guilty of flip flopping is beyond me. Even in this one conversation - "The masks are import

That's makes no sense at all . You're ignoring the fact that the FDA approved them initially. They said "the risks are worth the benefits". Then years later, after more data was collected, the FDA changed their determ

No it is not true. Please don't be anti-science! Take a look at the vaccine studies - only J&J actually tested the effect on transmission, and J&J was hardly used. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines never tested transmission .

Why would you ignore the six vaccines pulled for safety reasons? So I ask again - If someone refused to take those vaccines would they be "anti-science"?

I agree. When Fauci made comments about “get vaccinated and it’s unlikely you’ll transmit Covid” when the trials never tested viral transmission (1) was shameful. Once it turned out not to be true public trust was seriously eroded. (1) ht

DOGE absolutely falls under the Dept of Digital Services agency. No different than an office within the CDC like HIV Care Iniative. “Waste, fraud and abuse” is defined by the OIG well before Trump. Just because you don’t like him means it
