Trump's covid lies have cost hundreds of thousands of American lives, even by the most conservative estimates. My initial figures showed we could have held our death count to under a hundred thousand, and certainly less than twice that even figuring in the more virulent strains that appeared over time. That puts the unnecessary lives lost at over a half million. Lives that could have been saved if Trump had put Fauci and science center-stage instead of sidelining the former because he insisted on supporting the latter, instead of acting as a political bureaucrat, as your false accusation would have it.
And that's before you figure in the aggression against those supporting even the most trivial health measures, like covering up during a pandemic. School board members across the country are paying the price for your complicity.
Death threats, online abuse, police protection: School board members face dark new reality
You went off on a bender, making up a straw man to burn down arguing against stuff I never even said.
I made a simple statement: "Fauci is more political bureaucrat than scientist."
Everything else is all in your head. I made no attacks on him. I made an observation. How about you take a chill pill and calm down a bit?

Did you ever ask yourself how a guy could spend a half century promoting public health across Republican and Democratic administrations without the most rigorous adherence to nonpartisanship. Because I have. And the answer is, he couldn't. The accusation is entirely baseless, and directly contradicted as again and again, when asked to provide fodder to Trump's partisan opponents by singling out the president for his misinformation, he declined, steering the conversation and questions back to science and public health and saving lives.
These attacks on Fauci are as shameful in their own right as any other false accusation, and horrendous in their collateral consequence, as they are first and foremost not an attack on Fauci, but on the science-based mitigation strategies he promotes.
I'm not calling you out, Sparko, I'm calling you to join me in battling back against deadly misinformation. Think about it.
