A Facebook friend of mine posted a letter sent out by some government agency or other that literally said, in effect, that if there is a conflict between the data and official recommendations, that you should stick to the recommendations.
And really, has this basic mindset not been present all along? Has Anthony Fauci not in effect appointed himself the Lord of All Things Scientific, such that you should trust him rather than your stinking eyes?
God only knows how all this will pan out, but if JUSTICE and HUMANITY, and all the other higher human emotions win out, he will be excoriated and remembered with loathing as a criminal on par with the greatest mass murderers of history.
I think I have commented this before, but he is much like like Louis XIV, who proclaimed “L’etat, C’est Moi”.
For Fauci: Science? That is ME. And perhaps comically, perhaps tragically, he has more or less literally said that more than once.
And perhaps this is rational, since his recommendations contradicted themselves continually. This only makes sense if Fauci IS science.
And of course, he isn’t. Maybe someone needed to hear that.
Yes, that is my odd sense of humor.
