Matthew Dowd: Republicans Demonizing Fauci Are Attacking ‘Science and Data’
Breitbart ^ | April 15,2021 | PAM KEY

Posted on 04/16/2021 5:36:39 AM PDT by Hojczyk

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.”

Matthew Dowd: Republicans Demonizing Fauci Are Attacking ‘Science and Data’.

Those that would try to impose their idea of the “science and data’ on us are simply propagandists with as yet an unknown agenda.

Plenty of science and data supporting the vaccines but only if one isn’t blinded by their anti-vaxxer prejudices.

Plenty of govt/pharma/deep state science, is what you meant to say.

Plenty of independent and 'whistleblower' science pointing out the foolishness and danger of your Fauci vax.

Which 'science' does your boy Fauci present us with?

None of which is sufficiently credible to published in a reputable scientific or medical journal.

So?

And who controls what gets published in your 'reputable scientific or medical journals'?

Oh, guys like Fauci you say? And before you say, 'Fauci doesn't control that reeeeeeeeee', notice I said 'guys LIKE your buddy Fauci'.

Piss on your 'reputable' scientific medical or science journals. With all due respect.

Is it sufficient to state, with evidence from the manufacturer’s own documents that those who take the jab are still in the trial phase...test subjects...until the trials phases are over in late ‘22, early ‘23?

...because that’s the “science” of this trial phase. They’re lab rats.

Also, were they given informed consent?
...because not one person I know of, who participated in these trials, has been given an informed consent documented to sign. Not one.

Facts conveniently left out of the propaganda narrative.

Oh, I keep forgetting the hundreds of thousands of medical professionals who are all-in on a giant conspiracy to make billions of dollars for Big Pharma, kill off 90% of the worlds population, and make Bill Gates Emperor of the World. Don’t you realize how huge a conspiracy would be required to keep control over what is published? You would rather believe there is a select few youtube video publishers who have cracked the code and are desperately trying to save the world?

So, don’t take the vaccine. You anti-vaxxers can’t find credible, peer reviewed evidence suitable for publishing in reputable medical journals. Instead, you resort to youtube videos promoting unsubstantiated anti-vaxxer propaganda designed to scare people from taking the safe and effective vaccines.

“So, don’t take the vaccine.”
...
I won’t. You didn’t address the issue though. Typical!

“You anti-vaxxers...”
...
Oooo name calling. Again, typical leftist tactic. That’s your reply?
I’m only anti lab rat!

“...can’t find credible, peer reviewed evidence suitable for publishing in reputable medical journals.”
...
Clue phone...I was talking about being a willing lab rat. You’re trying (weakly) to change the topic of my post. Typical leftist move again!

” Instead, you resort to youtube videos promoting unsubstantiated anti-vaxxer propaganda designed to scare people from taking the safe and effective vaccines.”
...
I didn’t post a ewetoob video. Again, you’re changing the the topic. Try to stay on topic lab rat!

So, go be their lab rat.
Press the bar for your reward.
Your problem.

The issue is the lack of credible evidence to support the anti-vaxxer propaganda. BTW, have you noticed that almost all the anti-vaxxer propaganda comes from videos? If they had credible evidence, they would be quoting peer reviewed medical journals.

Some COVID-19 threads have a significant signal to noise ratio.

Unfortunately, there are FReepers on both sides that not only disagree with the “other side”, but sometimes also antagonize and make the issues personal with insults and threats.

FR operates best when FReepers are civil to each other, which is often lacking on these threads. FReepers are better than that.

I posted the issue.
You’re avoiding it, trying to change the narrative, but failing.

...let’s get back to the issue...
The issue is you’re encouraging others to become lab rats for big pharma, for a medical treatment that is in testing phase for at least another year, where the scientists and their big Parma corporations have no liability whatsoever for what they’re injecting.

That’s the issue.
...try to stay on topic son!
May you be held accountable for each and soul you lead astray who might get harmed. In this life and in the next.

Why is it that W and just about everyone associated with his Admin has taken the side of the Enemy?

With guys like Dowd, it is a real wonder that there are any conservative Republicans in Congress. How did 2008 go for you, loser?

The issue is why are you, and the rest of the anti-vaxxer crowd so adamant about posting false and misleading information.

BTW, Pharma executives are still liable for crimes. You are essentially saying that Pharma is knowingly participating in a criminal conspiracy to commit fraud and they know they are committing premeditated murder.
