Lex's assertion about putting everything on the table for clarity is completely lost on this internet generation.  We have seen people driven to believe obvious fairy tales every day, so the work of scientists in important positions, such as Dr. Fauci, is no longer so easy.  Add in the Trump factor and you get 2020.  It can't be downplayed how destructive Trump was in the handling of Covid.  He took complete control of all of the information and insisted that he take zero blame.,(reply>), @Bill his work is advising, for which he has been crucified.  If you really look at it, he hasn't made a single decision.  He has zero authority.  He is quite literally hated for the act of disagreeing with a complete and utter imbecile.  We live in a "give me all the answers immediately" society.  You know as well as I do that science doesn't work that way.  When this virus first came to be, nobody knew anything about it.  Fauci was tasked with updating leadership with as complete and accurate information as could be known, that's it.  He made simple recommendations.,(reply>), Fauci hasn't done any "important work" in decades, he's been a bureaucrat and talking head for political points longer than he was an actual doctor.
