Peter Lederman in Second Bout With COVID-19

Of course Fauci and the scientific community changed their guidance over time, they knew nothing about the virus.

Given Fauci's expertise in Corona virus, gain of function research, and is generally considered a medical expert in that field, that statement is indeed a novel ( book of fiction ). It is Alice in Wonderland.

Fauci shold have known the possible consequences of a Corona type virus even before the outbreak.

At least Trump got the US border partially shut down despite opposition  and got a vaccine through in 9 months - something Fauci claimed was not possible.
The decision by the Trump administration to place vaccine orders in advance of FDA approvals, procure the requisite raw materials through the US Army logistics team and commence production prior to trial completion, to ensure vaccines were in stock by the time the FDA approved them has saved millions of lives around the world and in the US.

Again....you are poorly informed/educated. Fauci's scientific expertise is in the HIV/AIDS virus, not in Corona viruses. 

You should spend sometime understanding what the word "novel" means when discussing viruses. Novel means "never seen," there were no scientist that had a clue in what to due at the beginning. Focusing on Fauci is hilariously stupid, promoted by Murdoch's right wing media. 

Lastly, you should look into Trump's failure to enact the War Powers Act. This caused chaos as the states fought each other for resources. There's a reason he lost the election, sitting presidents rarely do. 
 
But you probably think that the election was stolen.....

Good luck. 

“But you probably think that the election was stolen.....”

Not a chance of that, right? Big Joe is clearly the most popular president in the history of the United States. 

@lewm 
An excellent post.  As a physician myself I could not have stated it better.

I envy you in N.Z,  With Covid restrictions coming down we in Hawaii are being inundated by tourists from the mainland (nowhere else for them to go as most other tourist destinations are still shut down).  We were doing OK locally but I expect that we will soon be hit hard by the delta variant in the near future.

Look for this thread to be shut down soon--way too topical.

He is so popular they had to use razor wire and troops to protect him from his fans. So many people voted for him that in one county in Arizona alone he got 74k more votes mailed in than were mailed out. The election was so open and honest more and more states are doing audits to show the world how fair and honest it was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGRnhBmHYN0
