Dr. Anthony Fauci, the polarising director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, slammed everyday Americans for refusing to go along with ‘authority’ on medical matters, and accused people of ‘amazing denial’ when it comes to ‘truth’.
Speaking on a podcast called Learning Curve, produced by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Fauci charged 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.”
“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 asserted.
“It’s amazing sometimes the denial there is, it’s the same thing that gets people who are anti-vaxxers, who don’t want people to get vaccinated, even though the data clearly indicate the safety of vaccines,” Fauci proclaimed, adding “That’s really a problem.”
Perhaps the real reason Americans don’t trust Fauci is that he’s consistently flip flopped and contradicted himself on ‘the truth’ for months.
The man also exudes authoritarianism, and clearly has a problem with anyone who questions his superiority.
Fauci also has a long history of being the front man for a network of powerful Big Pharma and Big Medicine interests, pushing vaccines and medicines in a clear conflict of interest.

Following Fauci's blame-scaping the anti-science bias of (implicitly ignorant) Americans, Thiel Capital MD Eric Weinstein unleashed a barrage of uncomfortable truths on Twitter
How dare this man.
Do you want to know why they are learning to hate scientists for real Dr Fauci?
Because your group lies about science & your ilk drove the truth telling scientists out of their rightful places inside the instutions calling bullshit on your lying about masks. pic.twitter.com/VJLTGT0GOe — Eric Weinstein (@EricRWeinstein) June 18, 2020
Scientists like me who don’t go along with cowards & crowds cannot disrupt your group’s lies because we are outside. Imagine if I was tweeting from the National Science Foundation or MIT. It would be a national news story about how your cabal lies and degrades faith in science: https://t.co/leYsCerG3o — Eric Weinstein (@EricRWeinstein) June 18, 2020
Weinstein went on:
"But you prattle on. We will one day find out later that you suspected all along that the Wuhan BS-L 4 virology lab might well be involved, but that you didn’t say so for this or that political reason.
Because you aren’t a scientist. You play one. You are an MD turned actor.
ven when I agree with the conclusions of your instutional pseudo science cabal, you cheat to get to our shared conclusions on vaccines, viruses, climate, etc.
So you want people to believe in science again? Ok. Call-yourself-out. Admit that your crowd **lied** about our masks.
And not to put too fine a point on it: your group is sitting in chairs reserved for people who don’t do what your cabal just did.
You just don’t have what it takes sir. I’m sorry. But science isn’t acting. It’s not a beauty pagent. It’s not politics.
Science requires courage."
Fixed it
Especially Communist authority.
Fauci is a bed-wetter that finally got enough power to control other people.
Other than God, I don’t “believe” in much, as belief is a matter of faith.
I look to science to try to provide an imperfect description of physical reality. That’s about it.
And fau-Xi doesn’t meet the minimum standard.
Welcome to the USA, Fauci.
“Don’t Believe Science”
As I’ve pointed out before in this forum, science is not a belief. Anyone that refers to it in this manner doesn’t understand it, or expects others not to understand it.
Scientists are political. I believe science and logic, not scientists.
> Don’t Believe Authority”
Authority, especially “experts”, doesn’t have a good track record.
Oh, those American people, they are a fractious and contentious bunch of louts, they are.
It was once noted that imposing discipline in the American soldier was much more difficult than it was for most non-American soldiers. American soldiers would argue and disagree with their superiors, and want to know a reason WHY they should do something, not merely blindly obey.
It's all coming out now. The Fauci appeal to authority, logical fallacy is being exposed.
Apparently Fauci has "authority" issues.
Fauci wants the power to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience.
The guy has been sitting high atop his NIAID perch for way to long. Time to topple Fauci and his fake science, political science.
No, they just don’t believe you Dr. Fauci. They, like me, wish you would just go away.
Actually, we believe those things. We just don’t believe you, Dr Fauci.
“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.”
There is a justified anti-scientism bias and disdain for unauthorized, illegitimate, authority. And that’s good!
Trump should fire Fauci.
***********
Trump seems very reluctant to fire people. Kind of ironic given his TV persona.
Who knew? I guess he is a distant cousin of one of the all time greats at flip flopping.. Jean Claude Kerrr-reeee!!

I have no problem with science, it’s the “interpreters” I sometimes have a problem with. Fauci immediately comes to mind, as do the various “global warming” proponents.
STFU, you FRAUD!!! You have cost this country TRILLIONS of DOLLARS, MILLIOS OF JOBS, and TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BUSINESSES and LIVES! YOU NEED TO BE INDICTED!
Yep, it was accurate in the day it was written, and even more so today. The end of that chapter has been writ large by the left since the ‘60s, and has unfortunately affected everyday Americans.
He;s NOTHING but a BUREAUCRAT!
