Elon Musk slams Fauci for infamous 'I am science' statement
Dailymail.co.uk ^ | Dec 29 | By SOPHIE MANN

Twitter CEO Elon Musk has announced that the short form social posting platform will promote the 'reasoned' questioning of scientific data.

On Wednesday, Musk, who can been especially vocal on the platform since assuming control in late October, wrote: 'New Twitter policy is to follow the science, which necessarily includes reasoned questioning of the science.'

'His Excellency is science,' continued Saad.

To which Musk responded, 'Anyone who says that questioning them is questioning science itself cannot be regarded as a scientist.'

Musk then drove his point one step further by posting a meme mocking those who 'believe anything blindly.'

On multiple occasions during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Fauci has claimed that those who criticize him and his work are 'actually criticizing science.'

During a November 2021 interview Fauci, speaking about the so-called politicization of public health, said that those who criticize the COVID response he led are 'really criticizing science, because I represent science.'

Gad Saad, a heavily-followed Evolutionary Behavior Scientist, replied to Musk's tweet in jest by posting a video of Dr. Fauci and writing, 'The science is anything that His Eminence Lord Fauci says it is.

I put this on the front page because surely Fauci can't be allowed to slip way into retirement quietly (with his exorbitant pension).

What can be done?

Fauci will never do anything quietly.
He’s an attention whore and a Napoleon complex having beta male.
Fauci won’t pay in this life.

“What can be done?”

Nothing that should be suggested or written about in a public forum.

Musk has standards. He wouldn’t hire the Fauci-clown to do windows, let alone let the idiot get even close to someone needing medical attention.

I highly recommend Gad Saad's book The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense (Washington, DC: Regnery, 2020)

Scientific theories have been traditionally vetted by questioning and criticism. It’s called peer review. To eliminate that process would once have been considered heresy. It only makes sense to an authoritarian mind.

Elon said “the science is unequivocal” on the efficacy of the vaccine. Hard to pin that stupidity on Fauci, but he’ll try.

“The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense”

It’s the age old battle between traditionalism, vs radicalism, the utopians vs conservatives.

The “infectious ideas” are all the shiny new, untested, hair brained ideas that promise a just and wonderfully peaceful world. “Common sense” is all the boring, “old fashioned” rules for living that humans have learned through the school of hard knocks over the milleniums, and that have actually proven to work.

I haven’t read the book, but I bet it’s incapsulated in Rudyard Kipling’s poem, “The Gods of the Copybook Headings”.

Check it out... Let me know if I’m close.

I’d bet cash money that govt psychiatrists are using MK ULTRA tech to program killers to go after Musk. After all it worked on the Kennedys and MLK. Why not Musk?

“Evolutionary Behavior Scientist”.

A simpler term is “Charlatan”.

That little tyrant is a self-stlyed Il Duce, IMO. He certainly needs to be held accountable.
