Dr Fauci: America’s Symbol of Anti-intellectualism
Listen to what is said about Dr Fauci, you’d think he was some kind of combination of Mother Theresa, Saint Peter, and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman all rolled up into one. He’s talked about constantly, he’s on TV shows, he has even been made into a Christmas ornament.
This is all despite the fact that Anthony Fauci has been a spectacular failure at his job. Back in February, Fauci was saying that the risk of COVID-19 in the United States was minuscule.
He was wrong. Early on, he told people they didn’t need masks. Although at this late date, there is little real-world evidence that masks are effective at stopping the coronavirus, so he may have been right about that, he later admitted he lied to the public so first responders could get the masks first.
Back in March, he was promoting the idea of a “14-day national shutdown” to stop the coronavirus. Not only was that a complete failure, but it’s also still going on in parts of the country, which is destroying small businesses and impoverishing Americans while doing little to stop the virus.
At the same time, people are bemoaning the fact that over 300,000 Americans have died because of the coronavirus, the figurehead of the Coronavirus Task Force is being hailed as a hero despite the fact that it’s not clear that anything he has done since the start of the pandemic has saved lives, helped control the virus, or has done anything other than make people’s lives worse.
If you judge Fauci on his actual success at dealing with the coronavirus, he’s a low “F.” If you judge him on how well he plays the role of coming across as a well-known, slightly nerdy, grandfatherly scientist, he gets an “A+.” Guess which one gets you made into a Christmas ornament in modern America?
Of course, that’s just the problem. Intellectuals in America are rewarded for being original, noteworthy, and sounding good, but they’re not punished for being wrong or making people’s lives worse. It’s great that someone went to a prestigious college and has a high IQ, but what matters is what they do with it.
One Elon Musk or Steve Jobs is worth 10,000 intellectuals like Anthony Fauci, Noam Chomsky, Bill Nye, Howard Zinn, Neil deGrasse Tyson, or other windbags that primarily seem to push bad ideas. When “intellectualism” becomes nothing more than a way to get likes on social media or to champion the same old, failed philosophies in new and exciting ways, it’s essentially worthless.
Just look at the mediocrity, impracticality, and arrogance of our unimpressive intellectual class and you will understand why Americans have become increasingly hostile to “intellectuals.”

You can throw Musk and Jobs in with the rest of the establishment front men on your list. Fauci is by far the worst however as the front man for Zionist medical fraud just like he has been since the phony AIDS “epidemic.” It’s all just part of the plan to control the livestock on the plantation while people like this author quibble about the details of masks and the fake numbers. This long planned fake virus was preceded by several other flus in order to condition the goyim and further line the pockets of the Big Pharma insiders with vaccine profits while conditioning everyone to believe our wonderful leaders are protecting us from the latest virus falling from the sky.

Hi Mark,
I consider the late Steve Jobs as one of the great innovators. The Apple computer was far superior to the PC because Jobs insisted on producing a better product for the customer. He created the smart phone, iTunes, and other technological advances allowing Apple to become a leader. When the financial experts removed him they had to bring him back to save the company and since his death Apple has become another putting out newer versions of the same old thing.
Bill Gates never produced anything new and devoted his energy into stealing other’s innovations, destroying competitors, and exploiting his victims (customers) by creating upgrades that were degradations.
Take Jobs off the list and add the detestable Bill Gates who I believe is worse than Fauci.

Everything you say about Gates, I say about Jobs. Jobs’ main “innovation” was to monetize the lock-in factor. Once you by a crApple product, you can never get away from them.
At least Gates could program.

Since you believe Gates could program I assume you never had the pleasant experience of a blue screen while trying to use the computer or having all your files and programs needing to be redone as his upgrades to Windows made them unusable.
It was Gates who brought greed to the personal computer.Did you ever hear of his famous letter accusing everyone of stealing the Basic program from him the he had stolen? What innovations do you think Gates did? DOS, Explorer, MicrosoftWord, Spreadsheets, Windows, were all stolen by Bill and were used to drive the innovators out of business.
Jobs brought out the smartphones, the iPods, iTunes, Pixar that customers wanted. Gates brought out crap that customers were forced to use and continually upgrade because they were so badly made.

I agree with Mark. This author should not be quoting absolute numbers. All figures should be quoted as a percentage of the total population so as to show how minuscule the death rate actually is.

Why haven’t we heard anything about taking lung cultures from those with the worst cases. Sounds like they’re hiding something. Like the fact that covid19 doesn’t exist. More likely antibiotic resistant bacteria or a fungal infection for most of these.

Personally, I think the author is to kind and gentle when he characterizes Fauci. He left out his two greatest facets, posturing and and self-service. This man has made a fortune off the backs of people becoming ill because of vaccines. He’s nothing but a front man for evil, and he’s loving every minute of it.

In Australia it is easy to prove that the annual seasonal flue kills about 3 times as many as covid19 does.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_swine_flu_pandemic_in_Australia
Just refer to the swine flue panedmic + wikipedia in your nation. Then tell as many people as possible. I, in Australia have started a yellow pages project. I can now send evidence based emails to every medical practitioner in Australia. I will just copy and past a short quote from the link which I will include in the email. Ps I dont use my personal email.

I don’t think that Dr. Faust (aka Fauci) knows; and while at this — I’m pretty sure Bill G. etc know neither — there are just two clear options for us:
(a) we all get continuously vaxed and destroyed
(b) we destroy them.
Am I just bloody selfish to vote for (b)?
Am I a terrorist to work toward (b)??

Had the cov2 been treated like the flu it is America and the world would not be in the grip of hysterical insanity and destroying people’s lives and businesses with moronic lockdowns and social distancing. Foolish beyond belief and to see this all one needs do is read and observe.
