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.

"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.

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.
