A moment to remember the guy who deprived US children of a year of normal education
It was the social distancing guidelines that proved to be an insurmountable hurdle for getting children back into school quickly after COVID.
"In his testimony to the House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Monday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and former chief medical adviser to President Donald Trump, said the 6-foot social distancing rule, which the CDC originally recommended, had not been backed by a clinical trial. This is despite constant claims that COVID-19 protocols were based on science.
These disclosures are damning and maddening for all of us who had structured our lives around these rules for years. As a result, millions of people suffered needlessly."
And let's not forget that Dr Fauci also bypassed US law against dangerous Gain of Function research to direct US taxpayer dollars to fund the Chinese Wuhan Lab that developed and leaked the COVID virus into the general population.
What a guy!
Fauci did more harm than any doctor in the history of the world, and it is not even close.

He also lied about AIDS, said it wasn’t a homosexual disease and everyone gets it to scare the
Public
I don't think he did it to scare the public. IMO he did it to try to make homesexuality normal. I do
not care if someone wants to engage in homosexual behavior but I don't want special rights be given to any group of people.
In your zeal to back your pal you added an almost dumber comment - you’re peas in a MAGApod.

Hey, it’s not a homosexual disease. Only a moron would say it is.

It exploded in their community, fact. Ask my childhood friend, oh wait, you can’t cuz he’s gone
After going to New York and losing his shit in the bathhouses… fact.
I miss him, lots.
No one said that’s not true - what it isn’t is a homosexual disease.
Let’s get that fact correct. Fauci was correct, FACT!!!
You are 100% correct. AIDs never cared who were its hosts
Diseases have there own agenda... like a species working it's way through the evolutionary process.
It certainly should have been disclosed that he directed funds to the lab that developed the virus*.
Just his knowledge alone that he had done that most certainly impacted his decision making.
(* for the inevitable from the board propagandist - The weight of evidence points to the lab in Wuhan that Fauci gave money to and hence trusted their scientists when he should not have, Since China is blocking efforts that could more decisively determine the origin, the logical assumption is that they are doing so because they know it will ultimately point to their culpability.)
Agree.It would've affected his decision making at very minimum. It may have been why he chose to lie
....the Shut Down was bad for Trump, and Fauci found a big backing from Dems because of it. He needed that backing and political protection because of what he knew that he did.
The reason all you morons turned on Fauci so hard is that he clashed with Trump
Trump politicized the pandemic. You lemming fucktards leapt to his defense. MUST...ATTACK....FAUCI....MUST....ATTACK...FAUCI.....
Sure, the 6-foot rec was based on all prior corona viruses. BUT FAUCI SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER!
Liberalism Rule #1. It is why you like him. Along with all that his actions provided you
He became a religious figure to you after accomplishing what you could not for so long do on your own.

Uh, no. But he symbolizes public service, science, expertise....
....and lots of other things that MAGA hates. Like education and telling the truth.
And he did not lick Trump's balls! The effrontery.
Public service ceased to be admirable when they were unionized, science ceased to be respected when
they began selective discovery of data to support their grant funds, and expertise is too often just self-promotional snobbery.

Thank you for providing the truth and reality of the situation, Curly...

On the money. And then they reference their selective (and often fraudulent) discoveries…it was
shocking how quickly various professional journals dropped their normal peer review standards when pressed politically to do so.
Even JAMA and NEJM had to issue retractions as they tried to retroactively fix their reputations.
It is no wonder that we in the medical profession are having a hard time regaining the public trust.
Frankly, the govt also lost ground in we professionals view as well. Now, it is “trust but verify” when it comes to recommendations.
Note that Baron cites no examples in his post...par for the course for someone who TOTALLY misses
tthe STRONG support for Masking during COVID by the MIT authors...then fails to realize that a NEJM publication wasn't just an "Opinion Piece" but rather a Full Fledged Study of Masking Effectiveness in the Boston School System...using rigid "Difference in Difference" methodology....just too lazy, or unfamiliar to make that finding.
The WTF church has issued an encyclical, the replication crisis is to be completely ignored.

You made him into a deity, I believe in religious freedom so we'll leave it at that.

So he is a "symbol" to you, and the reality of his actions thus doesn't matter. Of course.
You have to remember that symbolism over substance is not a thing among logical thinking people.
I know that you want to fit us into your tidy stereotypes, but the real world doesn't work that way.

Makes more sense than your Dr's "six foot rule", which
complete made up bullshit, courtesy of your Doctor
Of course it does. Ingest 1 of Clorox 2 cups warm water daily keeps you healthy. Makes sense.

The science changed, Baron. You know that’s what you’re going to hear.
As you stated, the 6 foot bullshit never had anything to do with science but it sure sounded good. Fauci will continue to be a hero to his loyal followers. Maybe he’ll get another magazine cover.
Thanks for very informative article. Fauci has become a national joke !

Fauci's own words: "There was no science behind it..there was no clinical trials behind that"
His own words on the social distancing guidelines that were forced on everyone, and were over and over claimed to be based on science.
Despite claiming over and over again that there was...in fact "follow the science" became a mantra.
They had faux findings produced and real research findings squelched. Now idiots call up the faux findings to defend their support of Fauci, but when he was put under oath, he admitted the truth.
Fauci's own testimony under oath cannot be misinterpreted or spun. He lied, and it cost hundreds of millions of people (if not more) dearly
This from an MD who repeatedly misreads or fails to read high impact Medical Journals that correct
his home grown falsehoods.
In retrospect... we severely overestimated the dangers of COVID to the average person AND ESPECIALLY
to children,
And both teachers and the authors of Medical Journals damaged their own reputations with their self-serving hyperbole.
Have you forgotten the refrigerated tractor trailers in hospital parking lots
because the morgues were full…Over reaction???
The dumbfuckery over this topic still amazes me. People got sick and started dying in mass numbers
but we should've kept everything status quo. I firmly believe MAGA has made you all go full on caveman mentality.
Teacher's unions bowed at the altar of Fauci, students be damned

What political purpose derived from shutting down the country hysterically?
That's a rhetorical question.
For one, it allowed bypass of Voter ID laws. 2nd-it reflected on the POTUS in office. 3rd...
...it created massive dependence on the govt of an entire new swath of the normally working population and small businessmen - something that the Dems always want to foster as it ties int heir votes,
4th - it allowed the Left to shut down churches and other organizations that it loathes - and it did so selectively as time went on (remember that it was governors and local bureacrats who got to decide on most restrictions),
5th - it allowed liberals to satisfy their natural desire to control the actions of others.
Ok... but did we learn anything from this horrific experience... or is it like forgetting a hangover
when offered a drink?
Those pf us who think for ourselves have learned from it. Thise who accept programming
never learn anything - they don’t want to do so.
Folks like BVZ who spend their time imagining political angles to diseases like SARS-CoV-2...all by
themselves..with NO scientific analyses...at all...Professional Virologists and Microbiologists are exploring the 3D structures of such viruses in order to understand them and design effective treatments...as noted in the following summary...and who, btw, designed Highly Effective mRNA vaccines in only 3 days after getting the SARS-CoV-2 genome...followed by Dr. Tony Fauci's immediate 'Fast Tracking' into human testing...thanks to his expert knowledge of the field and ability to expedite the Wheels of Government...without someone like Dr. Fauci,,,many more people would have died...certainly if Baron were somehow left in charge.
Hopefully, Baron is an excellent OB/GYN...but when it comes to judging the work of Virologists and Microbiologists...he's nowhere near as trained, experienced and professional as the true Pros are...who btw, devote their careers to finding Truth ...and Saving Lives. Pure slander for BVZ to denigrate such Physicians and Scientists.

AI Overview
Yes, virologists and microbiologists absolutely study the 3D structure of viruses! Understanding this architecture—often called viral structural biology—is critical for visualizing how viruses enter host cells, replicate, and evade the immune system.
Researchers use a combination of advanced imaging and computational techniques to map these structures at the atomic level:
Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM): This is currently the leading technique in the field. It involves freezing virus samples rapidly and bombarding them with electrons to capture high-resolution 3D images. It is incredibly useful for mapping large, complex, or unstable viral structures.
X-Ray Crystallography: By growing ordered crystals of viral proteins, scientists shoot X-rays through them and calculate the 3D structure based on the diffraction patterns. This provides highly detailed atomic-level maps.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy: This method is typically used to study smaller viral proteins or specific regions of a virus in solution, providing insight into how they move and interact.
AI and Computational Modeling: Tools like AlphaFold are heavily used to predict viral protein structures rapidly, which scientists then verify using experimental imaging.
Mapping these 3D shapes is exactly how researchers design targeted antiviral drugs, map out viral mutations, and develop effective vaccines.
