It's just a matter of time until they kill him to shut him up.

Fauci was ‘up to his neck’ funding coronavirus research in Wuhan

Should have grown a protective neck beard...

Piercings aren't enough for some people.

They are for me, but then, mine are impressive. You should see my frenum to guiche Jacob's Ladder. (Look that up if you dare.)

It sucks that Sky News are the ones pushing this story. A notorious right wing channel with way too much power over shaping elections in Australia and scant regard for the truth or democracy. Unfortunately, they may have stumbled onto the truth here, and politics will prevent this story being heard by many.

As opposed to the rest of the mainstream media, who are notorious left wing channels with way too much power and scant regard for truth or democracy. BBC just got caught lying - again.

The Murdoch press is pushing an anti-Fauci line.

Presuming this is native advertising for some client, who do you speculate the client is?

Australia is struggling against China at the moment, but I would have thought that Russia would be largely disinterested.

Would this be an effort by the Chinese communist party to undermine vaccination efforts in Australia, to drag out the economic damage from the pandemic to give China an edge in the trade war?

Or it could be that Fauci couldn't do his wildly risky gain-of-function research in America, so he found somewhere that would do it. When it blew up in his face, he then claimed that an attack on Fauci is an attack on science itself. Yes, he referred to himself in the third person.

Americans were co-authors on the paper. But obviously the bat corona-virus is prevalent in China, so that's where you need to get the samples.

When it blew up in his face, he then claimed that an attack on Fauci is an attack on science itself.

"Blew up in his face"?

He's a standard bearer for science and a recognised candid teller of the truth. The Murdoch press are trying to tell Australians (of all people) the opposite, but he's well regarded as a public servant. There's "In Fauci we trust" and “Dr Fauci is my hero” t-shirts.

Yes, he referred to himself in the third person.

Could you be mistaken about that too?

“Attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science,” Fauci said Wednesday.

"Blew up in his face"?

Yes, that's what happened when the super-risky, unethical gain-of-function research escaped the lab and caused a global pandemic that killed millions.

There's "In Fauci we trust" and “Dr Fauci is my hero” t-shirts.

I thought tribalism was for idiots. Now tribalism is good? Huh?

You remember when he lied to us about masks being effective? Or how about protests being dangerous and spreading the virus, but BLM protests did not spread the virus. That's science, right?

Why are you defending the powerful and shitting on the little guy? You don't speak truth to the powerless.
