So, either Fauci was a terrible doctor and Trump was a giant idiot to keep him in place

OR

Fauci was good at his job, and Trump is a backstabber who turned on him.

Either way, it seems like Trump is the one who is terrible at his job.

Sound reasoning but his feelings don't care about your facts

Sigh. Why does everything have to have some Big Dark Conspiracy behind it?

Nearly everyone that barely graduated high school or just outright dropped out, seems to think that they have the "real story" behind something like Covid. Because they "did their own research".

These people usually don't even realize (Dunning-Kruger) that they simply don't have the skills to do that. That's why they did so poorly at school and why they didn't go on to - or finish - a higher degree, at least not in something more difficult to attain. They may not even have basic reading comprehension, probably have poor numeracy skills, and are not even aware of logical fallacies. The likelihood of them being auto-didactic is not very high.

It's exhausting.

And morons and bad faith actors like Gabbard feed into it, FFS.

Because ridiculous conspiracy theories are the only way to thread the needle when you absolutely must ignore Occam's razor.

At the same time there's a whole bunch of idiots running around thinking they know everything just because they paid the university tax and got a piece of paper

Imagine someone of average intelligence, then 50% of people are dumber than that and maybe 10% are functionally equivalently intelligent. Maybe 40% of the population are switched on, now throw in some politics and wildly different upbringing and life experience

I don't need to read this to remember that Trump stood on stage and literally told people they were investigating using brilliant light and injecting disinfectant

His medical officer rolled her eyes in the background

He also insulted Biden for wearing a mask whilst his cabinet was promoting invermectin

His impact rebooted the cooker movement.

People look back like "covid wasn't that bad".. but, the reality is everyone has been somewhat exposed at this point or been vaccinated. Those same people would say the same about small pox after benefiting from herd immunity

Over a million people died domestically, people really think it wasn't that bad?

I'm in Australia, we have plenty of cookers who think it was fine (we did actually implement masking and social distancing here and have a really high vaccination rate, so the cookers think they just have super immune systems).

So instead if investigating Fauci, they should investigate Gabbard - simple as that.

You reached the end
