It's all done to cover up Trump's criminal personal responsibility for hundreds of thousands of American deaths from COVID.

Proud moment of public discourse, yeah ?

And it's all racism. Because if something benefits everyone, that means it benefits Those People. Can't have that. Nope. To high a price to pay.

We are all effectively being held hostage by a psychopath and his toxicity.

This problem traces to the corrupted, billionaire-owned legacy media and the right-wing propaganda machine.

Literal schoolyard bully shit. Trump's a loser, incapable of doing anything remotely praiseworthy. But what he CAN do is roll around in his moral contagion, and force others to do the same, spreading like a pestilence to everything around him. And he's doing just that.

Humanity is working hard every day to change your favorable opinion.

Even journalists & other professionals on X are vulnerable to Right Wing propaganda. It's just a fact of the human condition. Many ppl are good but also vulnerable to propaganda like all humans. theconversation.com/a-few-weeks-...

A few weeks of X’s algorithm can make you more right-wing – and it doesn’t wear off quicklyElon Musk’s social media platform is boosting conservative content – and it’s having long-lasting effects on how users see the world.theconversation.com

Anyone can be vulnerable to propaganda lies. Many ppl on Bsky believe lies e.g. that both parties are equally bad/corrupt or that there is just as much Left Wing propaganda as Right Wing etc. The brain is like a phonograph. And most media/SMedia are Right Wing now, so that's what goes into brains

The Brain as a Phonograph: How Imprinting Etches the MindFrom Edison to Taylor Swift, the brain is a living phonograph—recording and replaying the grooves of memory, culture, and identity.www.psychologytoday.com

it's like we're still dealing with a collective trauma and instead of addressing the fact that it's a collective trauma, they're trying to find One Guy to blame for everything so they can say it's behind us

Moreno is the worst of humanity

All these bullies are really so disgusting!!

Other, more serious countries marginalize the nutters who attack the foundations of public health. The US right wing decided to ride the tiger instead. Catastrophic.

honestly wish we'd just let them try bleach or whatever

This performative chest-pounding for a man who doesn't know his name is so tiring

About 40% of humanity wants to murder a lot of the rest of us for a variety of horrific reasons (race, religion, gender, physical ability, greed, selfishness, etc.)

Same. We've turned into the dumbest country in human history.

trump and the gop are just rancid, toxic fucks who want to destroy everything. And they do.

I was a frontline healthcare worker during the early parts of the pandemic. There was a brief moment where the collective attitude seemed to be a “we can do it!” And then it all went south. I dare any of these weiner ass politicians to spend one day in an ICU.

as an ohioan i am beyond disgusted that we traded in sherrod brown for this

I think that younger folk will remember how horrifying all this anti-intellectualism was and respect education more when they take over. At least most of them will. But right now, things is really dang bad.

Yeah for real. This is messed up, even for Congressional grandstanding. To hear a guy who almost certainly got into politics because he's an ego-driven prostitute of his own soul say that Fauci was mostly concerned about being a celebrity is beyond ridiculous.

Brother should have answered “I’m the motherfucking lizard king” frankly . What a circus . Run into the ground by clowns, our country!

I'm with you.

🙌

Meanwhile, the guy has done nothing to help his daughter and granddaughter who were basically tortured by the husband/father Moreno is a worthless specimen as a man

“We should make sure this never happens again.” “Agreed: let’s put in place better processes for identifying and containing dangerous novel diseases.” “No, I mean we should never again inconvenience ourselves to save other people’s lives.”

I am but a dentist, though I practice in a very conservative, rural area that skews older. This message feels like it is mostly speaking to a very online audience. Many of my patients are fairly all in on good public health stuff. That said, it gets worse the younger the person is.

I will never understand how during a pandemic a significant percentage of the population *sided with the virus*

Yeh, Republicans are unequivocally **that bad**

It has been devastating for those of us in public health, even completely unrelated fields like chronic disease and maternal health.

The Fauci conspiracies in particular drove me crazy — here was a man who worked kind of anonymously in public house for DECADES, and then supposedly around age 80 became a publicity seeking liar? Come on

😔🥺

The only incongruity in Trump's iron grip on the GOP was when he shouted (rightly) from the rooftops about how good Project Warp Speed was and got bullied off of it. I don't understand how that happened.

Bernie Moreno is madder at Fauci working to keep him healthy in an unprecedented pandemic than he is at Max Miller for beating up his daughter and granddaughter.

They have to distance themselves from the one thing Trump did right in his first 4 years because the base is 100% made up of the dumbest and most conspiracy brained people on the planet.

It was excruciating for those of us who worked in hospitals, filling up with paranoid right wing patients who thought we were tricking them for money.

Nah, I refuse to let these cultists curb my enthusiasm for science

The play "An Enemy of the People" remains undefeated

And for what? It was an unqualified Trump success and they not only turned on it but decided it was so bad that they wanted to burn medicine to the ground.

All to appease a convicted felon, rapist, thief, liar, heartless criminal. It's all so bizarre.

Funny that he just described Trump at the end there.

POS

I hesitate watching the entire hearing, but did fauci clap back at all? Not his fault people were either making him a celebrity or pariah for overseeing vaccine development, imo.

I find it embarrassing for your nation that youe legislators routinely use vulgar language. The same language would get you suspended from Parliament in the UK. Absolutely no need.

As to the question, I think Fauci thought he was the medical advisor to President Donald J. Trump. Because that's who he was.

Collective when you mean US. Humanity when you mean US.

None of the friends who pushed my FiL to take ivermectin instead of getting vaccinated saw any reason to change course or admit their mistake after he died from covid. I don't think sociopathic is too unkind to describe them.

At least one entire party of american politics is completely filled with idiots

Ah yes, this pantload beat Sherrod Brown because of what The National described as alt right opium going viral in Ohio.

Worse, the effort is full steam ahead to rewrite COVID history in the public consciousness, To them, 1984 is an instruction manual.

Give me convenience or give me death was the big rallying cry from 2020 and it unfortunately transcended party lines.

It’s been a bad day.

Moreno - Into the sea.

They all should be forbidden to take anything from modern medicine for them and their families. It is such utter ignorant bullshit. Fuck all these ghouls.

you’re telling me, my man

My wife works in biotech and I cornered every family member who voiced this shit and said ,” do you think (spouses name) is maliciously trying to kill, sterilize or maim people? Answer carefully.” They all fucking equivocated some version of “it’s the higher ups” and I said it was antivaxx bullshit

It should have been lauded like the fucking miracle it was. Shouted about, praised, celebrated! Instead, we ended up with half the country no longer believing in vaccines as a whole. I don't understand.

right, operation warp speed was basically the one thing he ever did that provided some genuine public benefit and it became such a liability with his base that he completely disavowed it and handed HHS over to the antivax industrial complex

Especially weird that the vaccine was the one positive thing Trump could credibly take some credit for, but instead... this.

Moreno, another guy off the boat supporting the guy who is trying to sink the same boat for others. Opportunity for me, but not for thee. Also, another fake Christian, who supports the least Christian among us old Donnie, the demon. These clowns beating up on Fauci for political points make me sick

Revealed preference shows that 92% of American adults have received at least one dose of a covid-19 vaccine. You can’t let the bastards get you down.

I’m totally depressed by the treatment of Fauci today. 😡

What I hoped we'd learn was that everyone's health should matter to us. We, uh... didn't learn that.

the thing that makes me especially insane is that you could *very easily* present this as a win for conservative ideas. we got red tape out of the way so we could move quickly, and then we moved quickly and it probably saved tens of millions of lives

It's worse, they've gone on in the same vein to rob you of scientific progress with mRNA for cancer vaccines and other uses, the vandalism of the NIH, the nonsense decisions coming out of the FDA, etfc
