You don't even need to be inept and incompetent. Fauci is a "doctor" and doesn't know anything about running a country. If you're a specialist in a niche field, you're not going to look at all the other factors other than the niche field you focus on. You're more than likely going to over focus on that niche field and make theoretical decisions rather than concrete decisions based on all of the factors.

Anyone who thinks we should take direction from a doctor on how the country should be ran and what people should do in said country is a fucking moron and should immediately be discredited and their opinion should never be given authority.

Which means that the whole media structure is run by children and shouldn't be taken seriously.

You're more than likely going to over focus on that niche field and make theoretical decisions rather than concrete decisions based on all of the factors.

The only problem with this statement is your belief that Fauci is a specialist of any kind. You correctly put the word "doctor" in quotes, because Fauci has a piece of paper that says he's a doctor and that's basically it.

He got his MD from Cornell in 1966 (Top of his class, the man is admittedly very smart) and did a two year residency at Cornell's hospital. For the next 6 years he was a Researcher in a lab, then in 1974 he became the department head for that lab.

If you don't speak acedemia, that means that in 1974 - 1974, 46 years ago - he went from doing research to being a middle manager.

4 years later he was moved into upper management.

4 years after that he was made the head of the NIAID, his current position.

So, to summarize, Anthony Fauci's work history:

2 year residency

6 years of research

46 years of being a bureaucrat

Anthony Fauci's only "specialty" is in expanding his bureaucracy to meet the needs of his expanding bureaucracy. He is a dyed-in-the-wool bureaucrat that hasn't seen the inside of a research lab in 46 years and a doctor that hasn't seen a patient in 52 years. His "medical" expertise is almost entirely theoretical. He spent more time studying to be a doctor than he spent being a doctor and then devoted the rest of his life to being a bureaucrat.

Yes, I understand this, but writing out a shittier version of what you just said wasn't something I wanted to do. Which is as you correctly noted, why it was in quotes.

AND doctors RARELY tell you the side effects of the drugs they push. I always do the research b4 I take anything. I have been very sick, and learned this the hard way.
