Slavitt: GOP ‘Ought to Be Careful About Trying to Take Down’ Fauci — ‘Stop Playing Politics with People of Science’
breitbart ^ | 14 Jun 2021 | PAM KEY

Posted on 06/15/2021 10:21:06 AM PDT by MarvinStinson

Former White House senior adviser on the COVID-19 response Andy Slavitt said Monday on ABC’s “The View” that Republicans “ought to be careful about trying to take down” National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Co-host Joy Behar said, “Republican Senators Marsha Blackburn, Marco Rubio, and Tom Cotton are calling on Dr. Fauci to resign after his emails released showed he had doubts that covid was leaked from a lab. The man doesn’t have a crystal ball. He works with what he can. What do you think this is really about? Why are they attacking Fauci continuously?”

Slavitt said, “You know what Anthony Fauci has been doing for the last two decades? Inventing the mRNA platform, which created the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines in rapid time. You know what he was doing on January 11th when the Chinese posted the genome sequence for the virus. He was downloading it, and within two days, they began working on the vaccine. Record time.”

He added, “So I don’t know what Marsha Blackburn was doing on January 11. I don’t know what Marsha Blackburn was doing for the last two decades, but they ought to be careful about trying to take down the scientist responsible for us having vaccines in the first place. Stop playing politics with people of science. Just let experts be experts. Experts can explain themselves. They aren’t always going to be right, but Tony Fauci is a very humble person, and he’ll tell you what he knows, and he tells you and his level of confidence.”

If fauci was a person of science he would be a scientist, not a bureaucrat. He is so far removed from science after so may years being a bureaucrat that he’s lost sight of what science really is.

Fauci is a Political Hack.

Hannity and others that called him Independent were paving the way for the Deep State, as they did with Mueller, Durham, and Horowitz.

Interesting. They absolutely should “take down” Fauci. They should also absolutely be careful about it. Fauci is a politician.

Slavitt thinks Fauci is God?

Fauci has been caught in lies.

Atheism is a natural and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific socialism. …

This is the kind of person Slavitt is.

Fauci is the god these liars and cheats will forever owe.. how many private visits has Fauci had with the pappy of Rome? It is science alright, the science of death and destruction.

That was the first thing that caught my eye. There is absolutely no denying Fauci is a POS.

Fauci isn’t a scientist, or a physician. He’s a self servicing bureaucrat.

As I wrote elsewhere, Science isn't math.

It never was.

And it sure isn't now.

Remember how science said ulcers were induced chiefly by stress or spicy food? It turns out, they are induced chiefly by bacteria. Whoops.

The history of science is littered with "no wait....that's wrong...THIS is right..." going through the rinse and repeat cycle endlessly.

And that's ok. Inquiry and challenge and "being a science heretic" is, in many ways, how mankind learns more and can fix more problems.

But science isn't math. Your checking account balance is the sum of deposits less sum of withdrawals. Always. Forever.

The problem arises when people try to equate science with math...usually they call it "settled science." And, to be sure, robust inquiry and disciplined application of the scientific method usually gives you clear and distinct results. Then, science is settled...until we get new data or better techniques, and then we get "wait a minute..". For example, there was a most excellent article posted on how "settled science" wasn't so settled, wherein:

seems that Earth has been misplaced. According to a new map of the Milky Way galaxy, the Solar System's position isn't where we thought it was. Not only is it closer to the galactic centre - and the supermassive hole therein, Sagittarius A* - it's orbiting at a faster clip.

It further noted other "errors" in SCIENCE:

A good recent example of this is the red giant star Betelgeuse, which turned out to be closer to Earth than previous measurements suggested. This means that it's neither as large nor as bright as we thought. Another is the object CK Vulpeculae, a star that exploded 350 years ago. It's actually much farther away, which means that the explosion was brighter and more energetic, and requires a new explanation, since previous analyses were performed under the assumption it was relatively low energy

The other problem arises when Certain Powers work overtime to suppress assiduous inquiry. Which, is what we have today as well. It's a bad double whammy.
