Former George W. Bush campaign strategist Matthew Dowd said Thursday on CNN’s “OutFront” that Republicans demonizing National Institutes of Health expert Dr. Anthony Fauci were attacking “science and data.”
Discussing Republican’s demeanor while questioning Fauci at congressional hearings, Burnett said, “This is far from the first time we’ve seen Republicans try to beat up on Dr. Fauci. They love these moments. We saw it from Jim Jordan today and Rand Paul not long ago. That’s how it’s been. Why is the GOP so obsessed with going after Dr. Fauci?”
Dowd said, “Well, I think this is fundamentally about the attack on science and data, and if it doesn’t agree from many of the GOP perspective as science or data or knowledge or information doesn’t agree with basically their emotional stand, they want to ignore it. And I think that’s the problem, I think, Dr. Fauci has here because Dr. Fauci is trying to take a rational approach against people who have an emotional place in this.”
He added, “The idea that this is about liberty and freedom, that somehow wearing masks — I would ask Jim Jordan, does he wear a seatbelt? Did he get his kids vaccinated when they went to school? All of these sorts of things have nothing to do with liberty or freedom, but that’s where we are when we have reason and rationality on one side and emotional reactions and ideology on the other.”

What would most politicians know about science? For that matter, how many of them have expertise in anything other than self-promotion, double-speak, and fund-raising? (Yes, many are attorneys, but they aren’t practicing as such, and it’s an irrelevant background with regards Covid etc.)
Fauci has been flying by the seat of his pants on Covid since the beginning. Further, his NIH agency is responsible for the ‘gain of function’ research that most likely is responsible for Covid 19 (would be more than happy to chronicle why that is).
Foolish actor Will Smith: “I’m the last man on earth.”
Dr. Fauci: “You should still wear a mask.”
From day one, there wasn’t even any consensus on WHERE the virus originated. THAT ‘data’ is not absolute and is still debated.
After that debate... it all went straight down hill from there: remedies, incubation period, numbers of actual cases (still debated), recovery, outcomes, ultimate and potentially grave side effects, direct and openly criminal interference with procedures in the US Presidential election, shifty and laughably incompetent personalities in and out of the ‘virus debate’...etc.
How the he@! could a rational adult accept THAT as ‘science and data’ .... even if it DIDN’T change every half hour of every day???
A Bushite. What more needs to be said.
Meadows gave Fauci a chance to present data, asked him for it repeatedly, but Fauci either didn’t have any data or would not admit it.
My conclusion from his behavior as a witness was that Fauci is either not a scientist or is a liar.
These are the same science lovers that probably blame climate change for Biden’s windy fall.
Fauci’s “science and data” changes weekly.
Down is a sob. Jordan is my rep. He totally reflects our frustration with the “science” that has NO data to support it. Tired of Politicians/Expert Class lying and moving the goal posts every turn.
Like Rand Paul says, Give people the correct information and they will make the right decisions.
science and data and scenes out of a horror film with people falling over dead in the streets and ponds and stacked like wood in hospitals with staff wearing hazmat suits, spray brigades putting chemicals in the air on every street, elaborate stargates that you walk through with misting sprays.
Emergency brick and mortar and wired hospitals being erected in a week’s time.
We are supposed to forget all of that.
This is the new narrative from...
1-the brainwashed left, who bought into the fear narrative
2-those who got the jab and now have buyer’s remorse, or feel like fools for being tricked
3-those who traded common sense for a little freedom that they always had anyway. Gotta be able to travel, see a concert, visit grandma...
The narrative is “science deniers”
How cute and blind they are in being willing followers of the propaganda from their slave masters.
“Science denier” claims are even showing up on FR by these minions. Orwell couldn’t have scripted it better than how this is unfolding in real life. Normally sensible, reasoned, conservative minds falling victim to the hive mind propaganda.
Who is this professional liar and why does anyone care what this
Dem op thinks ?
Dr. Mengele Fauci. The son of Josef Mengele the German SchutzstaffelS Officer and Physician . Known for Human experimentation. His son has followed in his foot steps. Creating a Virus in Wuhan that has crippled the world. Josef would be proud.
He should be hung!
Right-I’ve had traffic tickets that were processed more professionally
The same science lovers who believe there are 57 genders and that a baby is not alive until it is out of the womb AND the mother wants to keep it.
“science deniers”
Harris County Texas is at 10% of the new cases per day that it had in January 2021 and yet the Democrat millennial county judge still insists that it will forever be in covid level RED.
Yes, not being permitted to attend church services is equivalent to wearing a seat belt...
Stay out da Bushes, Matt..
Psyence.
The basic premise of science is that the data is NEVER “settled” and that questioning things is part and parcel with discovery and advancement of the sciences.
We do not elect a Science Pope.
