    Yes, now you know the truth about Fauci you will attempt to excuse his behavior by blaming someone not intelligent enough to formulate the lies told. Face it. You all liked Fauci because he appeared to contradict Trump at times. You never actually questioned what he said or did. Now you realize you were hoodwinked by someone you were told was an expert and you never questioned because you were told he was on “ your” side.

    See, I don’t care about Trump or Fauci. All I care about is truth and honesty. Therefore I won’t shift blame back and forth to protect a popular figure because I dislike all of them. Please consider judging experts by their words and actions, not by what you are told to believe about them. This Fauci dude is going to serve Biden. In light of these new revelations to you in his lack of honesty an/or ignorance of science, that should concern you. But I highly doubt it does.

    And
    And deaths from the yearly Flu are down this year because of the added health protocols for Covid.
    The final numbers aren't in, but I would bet that for 2020, more people are saved from Flu deaths than those who take their lives because of Covid.

    My question was : Which procedures carried out by South Koreans would the ""no one tells me what to do, it's mai right" crowd encouraged by Trump, have followed?

    None of that crowd would listen to Fauci or anyone else no matter what they said, other than maybe Trump

    I know a lot of republicans and a lot of people who don’t wear masks. I know a lot of independents in the same boat. Many would take a serious look at mask wearing if they had not been lied to.

    As I said. I know many people who are Trump voters who do not wear a mask. I don’t know one single person who bases their decision on masks use on Trump.

    Furthermore, why should Trump listen to Fauci? Should he blow in the wind with Fauci’s lies? Why should Biden listen to him?

    If Fauci had advocated for policies the South Koreans pursued we would be exponentially better off even if the muh rights crowd didn’t come around. You are going to have to face that fact at some point when the strawmen have rotted and blown away.

    lol

    Nice try.

    Flu deaths are down because they're being counted as COVID deaths. The crooked medical establishment, which is almost like a fourth or fifth branch of government, have been desperately pumping the COVID death count in pursuit of funding and attention. It's blatantly obvious at this point.

    And what would that prove?

    There is only limited research on the topic, but there is some evidence influenza infection has protective influence against Covid 19. However, the big downside is most studies show if you end up with a coinfection of C19 and influenza (especially the aged) you are twice as likely to die as if you had C19 alone.

    It will be hard to ever tell for sure by death statistics because most deaths due to influenza aren’t counted in a normal year, let alone this season.

    I’d agree the number of deaths from C19 suicide are minuscule in comparison to acute C19 or Influenza, but I think the phenomenon is worth consideration in formulating policy.

    Lies that you accepted as truth.

    Yes it is true--it is easier to fool a man than it is to explain to him how he has been fooled.

    You are easily fooled by way of fear. Most of us are.
