Sens. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz blasted Dr. Anthony Fauci again on Sunday after the White House chief medical adviser accused his critics of being “anti-science.”

In an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation,” moderator Margaret Brennan mentioned legislation introduced by Republicans that would limit or halt federal funding for so-called “gain-of-function” research, in which viruses are modified to increase their transmissibility and virulence.

Fauci described the issue as a “political football” and decried what he called “a lot of misinformation, disinformation, and outright lies.”

“Anybody [who] spins, lies and threatens and all that theater that goes on with some of the investigations and the congressional committees and the Rand Pauls and all that other nonsense, that’s noise,” he added, later saying: “I’m just going to do my job. And I’m going to be saving lives, and they’re going to be lying.”

Cruz (R-Texas) and Paul (R-Ky.) have accused Fauci of lying to Congress about National Institutes of Health funding of gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China — where the coronavirus is thought to have originated and where some believe it accidentally leaked from a lab.

What an arrogant fool.

 888high58888    Indeed an arrogant fool and an evil one at that.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

I  suspect more lives have been adversely affected than saved through his efforts (especially with regard to his bungling of AIDS).

Fauci will go down in history as the personification of medicine being politicized.  A new verb will arise in the English language - "to Fauci" - meaning to politicize and corrupt a once-respected, non-political, scholarly institution, especially when done through self-serving illogic.  The only problem is that most of those institutions have already been Faucied, so the verb will have to be applied in the past tense.

Fauci said, "I Am Science!"
Fauci says, "I am the Lord thy God! You shall have no other Gods before me!"

Statements like this are all the more reason that Fauci  needs to step aside

We don’t want our public health officials to be conducting themselves like politicians.
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

The key foundational cornerstone of "science" is to question everything, including theories that are proven.
When Fauci says, "I am science! I must not be questioned!" that is no longer science. That is called 'dogma'.

Dogma is a belief or set of beliefs that is accepted by the members of a group without being questioned or doubted.
