Constantly changing information and goal posts have absolutely nothing to do with it ..
Because if it's one thing we should fully expect during a global pandemic kicked off by a new virus, it's for the science never to change!

Not only for a new virus.
There are dozens of examples of "the science being settled," and then, dare I say "unsettled."
Remember "eggs are bad for you" for example?

- Yep, I'm up to speed on your "The Science Is Settled" series.
- Lewis Black has a great bit about the eggs thing.
- I didn't walk it back to science generally because I've come to accept the fact that emerging science is not a concept Americans are capable of ingesting. I would refer you to basically every discussion on global warming ever.

Except Fauci didn't change his pronouncements in keeping with the science at the time. He changed his pronouncements in keeping with his tv appearance schedule.

I think Fauci's mostly a mouthpiece, and I think that's probably how he views himself, too, but I don't think he's so Machiavellian that his position in the news cycle determines what he believes. Mostly because he would never get away with being that ridiculous.
Please love yourself.

People who donât get vaccinated die in numbers so much greater than vaccinated that all conversations are ridiculous.
Itâs dreadfully boring the excuses. Move on and stop listening to the bloggers and podcasters that are in fact endangering you and your loved ones lives.
Or be a skeptic, take matters into your own hands and accept the consequences one way or another.

Science is adapting to the coronavirus a hell of a lot faster than society is adapting to social media. That's really the problem.

Oh, he is. And he gets away with it because any time someone points out how ridiculous he is, someone else says.., "But Trump....."

Fauci is only relevant in the context of Fauci v Trump. Most people could give a flying fuck about that. I think itâs good to keep bringing up Fauci to deliver red meat to the most loyal basis but honestly no one else cares, at all. They just want people to get vaccinated or stay home.

Nailed it in one.
That's a money quote.

Nah, that's mostly you. There's quite a few folks that would like to see the highest paid federal employee ride off into the sunset...

Never ever going to happen. The only time I even hear about it is here.

This is disheartening. In Michigan, 28% of their hospitalizations and 15% of their deaths are fully vaccinated. https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2021/08/more-than-20-of-recent-covid-cases-hospitalizations-have-been-among-michigans-fully-vaccinated.html?outputType=amp
@Jolly what are you seeing in LA?

Talked with a couple of docs this morning...Depending on the hospital, somewhere around 8-10% of hospitalizations are vaccinated.
Ain't any beds left, though...

Thatâs a little more reassuring, though. I wonder whatâs the cause of the anomaly in Michigan? 10% of hospitalizations seems to be pretty locked in as the standardâŚ
