Who does not believe science? Perhaps, someone who is guilty of telling 20,000 lies according to the Washington Post database collection of Trump's lies. (See link above). The fact that Trump is impugning the sterling reputation of Dr. Anthony Fauci as one of the world's most preeminent experts in immunology and infectious disease is understatedly shameful and should be criminal insofar as it is a lie against a person who can be the most helpful to the nation as it assumes the dubious distinction of leading the world in the amount of COVID -19 cases and deaths. Instead of being thankful that this world famous expert in immunology is the
director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since1984 with 40 years experience and is helping this nation and the world find a way out of this viral abyss, he runs roughshod over him. Trump does not like what Dr. Fauci says not because his assessment is based on evidence but because he thinks Dr. Fauci's assessment will not help the nation's economy and therefore ruin Trump's chances for reelection. Trump's reelection is the only thing on Trump's mind because this malignant pathological narcissist does not care about human life -- any human life but his own. It is a lethal reality as the deaths of millions of lives are at stake.
Clarifying, Dr. Fauci fully admits when something he has said is a mistake but it is only a mistake insofar as the data of this never before seen novel virus was not available in the early stages of the pandemic. Every scientist was trying to make the most efficacious determination of its nature at the time. He did not in January think the virus would take on the hue of a pandemic nor that masks were necessary to avoid it. He has long since abandoned this view when the evidence and data told him to.
If one
drives a car, if one has surgery, even if one
bakes a cake one is using science to get a result. Science is based on the data of evidence
that reveals truth. Science through testing and
retesting tells truths without which humankind could never progress. It
changes belief when the evidence and peer review dictates it should.
Humankind advances when it takes scientific truth and morphs into
practice building buildings, treating disease, or flying to
the moon. Nearly everything one does requires the truths science reveals.
The US has the
worst record amounts of the novel Coronavirus and growing because its dastardly leadership and those minority of science deniers who follow that leadership will not do
what the science and its accredited science experts demand they do based on evidence. Dr. Anthony Fauci's name
and reputation are being dragged through the muck by Trump because Donald Trump is incapable of telling the truth. If it was solely Trump's life he is endangering that would be one thing. It
isn't; it is the lives of 350 million populating our nation and ultimately the 7
billion on the planet whose lives are at risk if we do not get the scientific truth correct. To tell the truth, Mr. Trump, or most importantly to listen to those science experts who do is the most important thing you can do since all of our lives depend upon it including your own.
