Remember, none of the GOP politicians spewing their crap actually believe what they're saying. They're just lying to inflame their base. They have no principles at all, and are the most cynical people on the planet.
one of the men who helped end the pandemic that was ravaging the world
The author does realize that the WHO still recognizes the COVID pandemic as ongoing, right?
He was also instrumental in gaining control of AIDS, and creating medications that allow those with HIV to relatively normal lives.
I just saw an article about how there are surges in cases: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/covid-summer-2026-cases-uptick_l_6a68c6c9e4b02c67a5ae1326
COVID is the number 5 killer in the US elderly. We just decided the best way to deal with it was denial.
It's just Rand Paul fanning the flames all because Fauci called him stupid, on record. That's it. Don't try to make this bigger than it is.
And since Rand Paul has a justifiable case of Imposters Syndrome, he knows it's true, and is desperately trying to cover it by destroying Fauci, instead working on improving his own weirdness.
They want to make clear, once and for all, that we live in a post-factual age. Reality is what MAGA says it is. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Reality gives 0 shits about what anyone "believes"... the inevitable karmic "fuck yous" that reality unleashes for this bullshit will be epic. May God have mercy on the innocent.
may "god" not have mercy on every last fucking MAGA and Israeli abomination.
lets go old testament with "god" and his wrath.
because when the science doesn't agree with your worldview, you change it by force.
the next pandemic is going to make COVID look like a vacation
I bet on Kalshi it'll be Ebola /s
It's not about Fauci. It's about sending a message that if you don't toe the MAGA line, the federal government will be weaponized against you and drag you through the mud.
Fauci made Trump look a fool by simply telling the truth. This was his sin, and this is what he's being punished for now.
And make no mistake, this message is not just to government officials. It's directed squarely at me and you, and it's coming straight from the KGB's playbook.
Don't ask me, ask the ghost of John McCain what he thought of Rand Paul.
Also, if you want to get a taste of just how thirsty the dumbass magameatbrainz are for trying to "get" Fauci, scroll down on the comments on Josh "Haulin' Ass" Hawley. The idiotic comments on this are wild. They really think Fauci killed millions. And that people die from the Covid vaccine.
Fucking morons.

Remember Hawley, he's this guy, bravely running away away, Brave Sir Hawley!
We need to get better at driving people to these comments and just fucking trolling the ever living fuck out of them until their voice is drowned
Epstein files. That's why.
Trump hasn't done ANYTHING for conservatives. Many have watched their wives and neighbors get kidnapped by ICE. Many have watched gas prices increase, and grocery receipts increase. Many watch again and again as Trump bends over for Iran.
If not this, it would be Hunter Biden's laptop, or Hilary's emails.
But with Trump, they feel like they are winning. Does not matter how much they lose in reality, they beat the others and the others "hate them for winning". This is all that matters.
They need a scapegoat because whenever they complain about the covid lockdowns, the left reminds them that that was Trump.
And man, they love to Karen the fuck out about lockdowns. I mean, how many years ago were the last lockdowns?
They were so pissy about lockdowns at the time. Even the Karens that never left the house anyway. But that goes to the core personality flaw of so many conservatives: "you cannot tell ME what to do!!" And I still hear them going on about it (in my personal life that is). That performative bullshit that the conservatives just put Fauci through was just wild, too.
Those stupid apes like Josh Hawley (of Haulin' Ass fame where he was recorded bravely running away from the very terrorists he encouraged) sitting there and lecturing a prominent man like Fauci? What a fucking world. I'm sure that Josh the chickenshit dumbass pussy thinks he's a real funny and brave guy.
When anthrax spores arrived in the mail in the weeks after the 9/11 attacks, Fauci led the federal research response
Wasn't that a disaster where they targeted the wrong guy and destroyed his life?
Edit: it does say "research response". Assuming that research was biological and not criminal, then he wouldn't have been part of that major fuckup
Because he tells the truth and doesn’t stop telling the truth. So now he gets to be sent to the gulag.
MAGA guy I work with swears the Fauci funded reasearch for diseases that killed millions.
But like... Why
It's weird how these people are so keen to pursue conspiracy theories about Fauci from six years ago, meanwhile, they don't give a fuck about Donvict making BILLIONS right now while letting Elon kill millions of people.
Similarly, big MAGA ex-coworker was utterly convinced that Fauci had done terrible research experiments on babies.
Also: you should ask him for the evidence. Where is it?
It doesn’t matter. They didn’t reason themselves into these beliefs, so there’s no reasoning them out of them.
I still like to plant the seeds by asking questions. I assume in most cases they won't really bother to question, but there is always a chance that some question asked as innocently and as non-confrontational as possible may burrow in there and shake them loose.
The author of this should probably watch this video if he's trying to figure it out.
Good video. TLDW: Republicans are fucking stupid and hate having that thrown in their stupid faces, so they lash out.
Rand Paul is so hard to read, he has some decent views and some batshit crazy ones too.
he has some decent views
No he doesn't
He's transparent. Just like his asshole father, he's a racist right-winger pretending to be a libertarian. Libertarians are cultish, brainless sacks of shit. Rand Paul's pretending to be one because what he is is even worse. And all of the views he promotes are in bad faith. Just another snake-oil merchant contemptuous of his electorate.
