I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy of Dr. Scott Atlas’s new book, “A Plague Upon Our House,” which comes out on December 7.
In reading the account from his tenure inside of the Trump Administration’s COVID response team, acting as something similar to 45’s “COVID czar,” I was repeatedly struck by the seeming lack of intellectual capacity possessed by Anthony Fauci. I have certainly heard the rumors and seen Fauci’s public persona on display, and in his book, Atlas removes all doubt about Anthony Fauci the man. He confirms the clear reality that Fauci is just not a very bright person.
I've maintained for a long time that Fauci is nothing more than a medical bureaucrat.

Faucist is the IDEAL dem bureaucrat: dumb as a post; crooked as a dog's hind leg; evil as sin; an ego the size of Jupiter; always wrong, yet supremely confident of his own brilliance and rectitude; and a ....total O-hole.

Anyone who says they "represent science" does not understand the scientific method.
The only thing that "represents science" is empirical data; something to which Fauci never refers.

"The science" comes from the same government that injected African American servicemen with poison. "The science" comes from the same government who told us Iraq had weapons of mass destruction until they told us they did not exist in Iraq. "The science" comes from the same government who let Saddam Hussein live on even after it had a chance to take him out -- before 9/11. "The science" comes from the same government who does not stop looting and burning of businesses by protesters.
Why should I trust "the science" if it comes from this government? Someone please tell me.
Remember this whopper: "Read my lips. No new taxes!"? Or how about telling us trillions of dollars in spending won't cost American taxpayers anything?
On what bases do I have to trust this government?

The eighty house republicans who voted for the vac database should read the book, assuming ((I haven’t read it yet, but have listened to him), that it explains the basic facts in an easily understandable way. Do we want to join Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany in their madness? If so, Why?

FTA: "Fauci continued, without any charts or data, remarking on a comparison of two neighboring states, one with and the other without a mask mandate. The state with a mandate had a slightly earlier decline in cases per day.
I was not going to bother arguing at this point; it seemed futile.
It took a nonscientist to point out the lack of critical thinking. CMS Director Seema Verma interrupted. “Tony, you know that is not a valid comparison; those states have so many differences, in population, in urban versus rural counties, in demographics, in weather. There is no way to claim that difference is due to masks.”
In any sort of statistical analysis, the identification of and controlling for independent variables in order to determine their effect on the dependent variable is one of the bedrock scientific activities, particularly when comparing alternatives and/or determining causality. That Fauci doesn't know this is obvious and makes him a scientific fake.

Government bureaucracy is where medical careers go to die. Or it gives those who cannot handle reality a chance to earn a living. That would be the Troll named Fauci. After hearing about the AIDS babies he experimented on back in the 80's while trying to come up with his vaccine, he deserves scorched earth level punishment. He has bloody hands.

We used to call it "the screw-up, move-up" rule when I was in the military. Fauxci is living proof that a govenment employee exemplifies The Peter Principle.

Fauci is nothing more than a political hack and fraud. He is extremely dangerous and should be sued to high heaven for all the deaths that he is responsible for with his so call "science".

Fauci is a democrat which is damning in itself enough. He is the cause of millions of deaths and yet, will never be held accountable. He has lied, obfuscated, and omitted truths during this whole mess. He will write a best seller and live the rest of his life in the lap of luxury believing himself to be a hero. I have long ago stopped expecting justice because I know career corruptocrats will skate. When has a democrat last been held accountable for his crimes? There is comfort in knowing that although justice may not be served on this earth, one day he will not be able to escape, none of us will. However, his arrogance will prevent him from any self-examination.
Proverbs 6:16-19
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

I'm reading the book now; it is available on Kindle before the publication date. It is infuriating. Scott Atlas is a straightforward, smart, highly credentialed, and experienced guy. He did not want anything to do with government but answered President Trump's call. The person who shows up worst is Deborah Birx. She comes across as a dullard who has no scientific expertise but repeats the same stupid recommendations over and over. Tragically, she was the liaison to the governors and she spent a lot of time visiting them in person urging them to shut everything down. Atlas reports that he got calls from infuriated governors, and some of them ended up refusing to see her. Because she was very popular with the public, and Trump was being constantly attacked for not stopping the pandemic, Trump did not fire her, at his advisors' advice. Another person who shows up very badly is Mike Pence, who would listen to Atlas's explanations (and Atlas is very good at explaining scientific concepts to laymen), agree with him, and immediately do the opposite so as not to oppose Birx, who was known for her temper tantrums when she was opposed. But I am only 2/3 through the book so who knows what horrors await.

I think Fauci is not only a dimwitted, political hack, the more I think about it I think he has a Hunter Biden problem. No, not the sex and drugs and rock 'n roll, but a China problem. Our conservative press always talks about how much taxpayer money Fauci and the NIH have given to China. What we don't know is how much money China has given to Fauci?
Fauci, from day one, has shielded China, defended China, pretty much doing what Brandon and company and US corporations are doing with China. And it's all because we know that Brandon and his family have taken millions from China. US corporations, (just yesterday JP Morgan and Disney) must bow to China because billions of dollars at stake in the China market. So, just how much has Fauci received from China? Someone on the site suggested Fauci will write a bestseller and live in the lap of luxury from the proceeds. I suspect book proceeds will be chicken feed compared with how much China has been funneling to him or his family or his friends in offshore accounts, over the decades. If we had an honest FBI, (God how it pains me to write that) they would be investigating him right now.
Fauci the dimwit, hack, yes. Fauci the corrupt, most definitely.

Faucism is not "science".
Any REAL scientist knows that EVERYTHING is subject to question, experiments to verify theories, and revision if empirical evidence does not support the theory. The closest thing to "settled science" is the Correspondence Principle: which says that any new mathematical model must reduce to previously verified formulas as boundary conditions approach those of the previous model. Case in point is that Einstein's relativity formulas approach Newton's equations as v/c (velocity compared to speed of light) gets smaller. We learned that in Physics 101.
Fauci doesn't even pass muster to play a scientist on TV. /s

Fauci is dangerous for America. Just ask anyone unfortunate enough to get between him and a camera.

Fauci loves standing at the presidential podium, too bad no one can see the little munchkin. Pretty soon he’s going to think he is the President, someone get the hook.

My doctor worked with Fauci. He wouldn't spit on him if he was on fire. People who worked with him on the AIDS virus don't have anything good to say about him.

Fauci has proven to America who he really is...his words are crafted in the White House war room with all the focus dudes...funny how the majority of democrats calling the shots are clueless as to how to get a job done...obama and rice are out of their league...talk about a JV team at the helm...and Mr. Magoo gets angrier with each news conference...and cackling harris is no better...

Well #13, I actually heard on War Room why many Republicans do not bang the drum of Fauci enriching himself with Chinese money.

I'm not a betting man but I'll wager next month's entire Social Security check on the fact that Dr. Faust hasn't looked through a microscope in over 20 years. He's a shiny-panted government bureaucrat who rode a desk chair in an office most of his life. And he can't believe in the twilight of his life (he's 82 but a lot sharper than 79 year-old China Joe) people are marching to his orders.
Beware of this Dr. Josef Mengele understudy ... thanks to his bad advice, the AIDS virus (back when it was only known as GRID --- "Gay Related Immune Deficiency") ripped through the country much worse and faster than it should have! Check the record.
