Anthony Fauci: Americans ‘Don’t Believe Science and They Don’t Believe Authority’
Breitbart ^ | June 18, 2020 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 06/18/2020 4:49:17 PM PDT by CheshireTheCat

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, served up harsh criticism of Americans on Thursday, asserting that the country suffers from what he described as an “anti-science bias” problem.

“One of the problems we face in the United States is that unfortunately, there is a combination of an anti-science bias that people are — for reasons that sometimes are, you know, inconceivable and not understandable — they just don’t believe science and they don’t believe authority,” Fauci told the Learning Curve podcast, which is produced by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

“So when they see someone up in the White House, which has an air of authority to it, who’s talking about science, that there are some people who just don’t believe that — and that’s unfortunate because, you know, science is truth,” Fauci continued, referring to the White House coronavirus task force’s once-daily briefings....

“...they just don’t believe science and they don’t believe authority,”


Hillary warned us of this in her reflections on the book 1984. But science and authority now seems to say, “Why yes, a man who believes he’s a woman, really is a woman”. Science and authorities also told us that Glacier National Park would be glacier free by 2020 and the snows would be gone from Kilimanjaro by now. Yet the glaciers and snow remain.

Are we supposed to follow the authority of “scientific socialism “?

A lot of them have very poor language skills and almost no math skills.

Their understanding of their place in history, their duties and responsibilities as citizens, their entire base of knowledge is pretty much formed by movies and music lyrics.

Its the "Scientific Method".
And all of this social distancing, and mask wearing nonsense was not based on the 'Scientific Method'. It was based on reasonable - anecdotal - assumptions, but don't claim it was "Science". Fauci just wants everyone to kneel down and kiss his ring, and most Americans see what was done in March was a great overkill and a mistake. Whether a well meaning mistake, or otherwise - we don't know - but it was a mistake.

Fauci isn't advocating for following the Scientific Method in drawing conclusions - he is asking people to unquestionably follow authorities such as himself. And the answer is No.

Noting that I’ve seen Dr. Fauci in pictures chumming up with the Democratic elite, he compromises his integrity by not mentioning that the “Orange Man Bad” media and his Democratic friends have been trying to weaponize the pandemic against PDJT in an election year.

Send “Orange Man Bad” federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a “third term” in office imo.

“Science is truth!” = scientism

See, it was Truth that said 2 million were going to die in the US, in order to plunge us into this intractable swamp.

Fauci the Fraud who refused to order the shut down of bath houses during the AIDS epidemic

I don't doubt that, after hearing him say hooking up on Tinder was okay if you were willing to take the risk.

But can you show me where he said that?

Fauci promoted fake case and death models.
And wonders why Americans don’t believe what he says.
