No but I have hindsight and I can determine that others in his field of expertise handled it better and seemed to demonstrate a lot more foresight

It seems that people always wanna make this a trump or fauci thing... but is it so crazy to suggest that both of them maybe shat the bed?
weird how all these other experts in the field said to listen to fauci then

it's almost like fauci did the normal thing of changing his stance on it after learning more and more about it

y'know, literally one of the cornerstones of learning and is something you do every single day

The very first one that comes to mind though is fauci proclaiming that nobody needs to worry about covid and then it wasn't a threat at all. Even if knowledge of covid was limited then, it's not really a responsible public statement to make about an unknown virus that's going around.

I'd agree, though depending on when exactly that was, I could see it being a legitimate tactic for trying to prevent panic before the thing had cemented itself as a threat that actually required a public response.

OhhhJa posted...
I think it was a few months later he claimed that cruises were totally cool.

Also pretty questionable, though not really a significant enough issue to call that "handling the pandemic poorly." By and large, cruises result in isolated outbreaks, particularly where the ships tend to be kept from docking if the virus is making its rounds on them.

OhhhJa posted...
Then there was telling people that masks are useless only to turn around and claim that they are absolutely mandatory when leaving your house.

This has already been covered in considerable detail. Citing this as hypocrisy or mismanagement is a gross misunderstanding of science and a failure to comprehend just how much one is benefiting from hindsight.

OhhhJa posted...
Then there was the random suggestion (based clearly on some senile thought he had on the s***ter rather than any kind of scientific study) to double mask early this year

https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/assets/info/ppih/if-ppih-covid-19-sag-double-masking-improved-fit-rapid-review.pdf

First google result for "Scientific basis for double masking," from mid-March (which I believe was shortly after the recommendation started being made). Skimming the summary, it looks like the CDC had some experimental data that suggested it could help, though it wasn't conclusive that it would reduce transmission rates. As such, I'm guessing the logic was that it was a trivial additional precaution to take (most people already had more than one mask available), so if there was any chance of it helping, it was worth recommending.

I know you're eager to put the guy down and you just kind of latched on to that as seeming silly, but you really should have done some actual research before assuming there was no research-based reason for the suggestion. It literally took me longer to type that paragraph than to find something concrete.

OhhhJa posted...
Oh, not to mention fauci initially stated travel bans were completely off the table before doing one of many 180s. Nothing wrong with making changes when new data becomes available but a lot of this was beyond mere incompetence.

Yeah, pretty much everyone screwed up the travel ban thing. I get not wanting to make knee-jerk xenophobic reactions, especially where anti-Asian racism was already ramping up quite terribly even before the virus started to seriously spread beyond China's borders and travel bans would be seen as vindicating that hatred, but the delays in implementing bans have made things worse. I'd blame that more on the racism than anything else (don't need to act to prevent racism if there's no racism in the first place, after all), but regardless, it could have been handled better.

That said, I think a lot of people overestimate both the simplicity and effectiveness of travel bans. It's not remotely possible to just say "nobody comes here from this country." That would have more dire economic consequences than a decade of lockdowns like the ones we've seen over the past year, due to how inextricably commerce depends on international travel. That means any travel ban needs to include a litany of exceptions, the nuances of which were very much not clear at the beginning of 2020. As soon as you start making exceptions, though, you get cases slipping through the cracks, and unless you have already have precautions in place to keep those cases from spreading (and given how reluctant the US citizenry has been to adopt such precautions with the virus already running rampant, good luck implementing them before there are any cases), those are going to turn into outbreaks that continue to spread.

Shutting the borders earlier would have helped, but at best, I wouldn't expect it to do much more than delay the first wave by a couple months. In a country that had embraced precautions instead of fighting them at every turn (such as New Zealand), that would have made a world of difference because the added time to prepare would have ensured that would-be seed cases wouldn't turn into anything uncontrollable. In the US, though? It'd likely just have shifted the timeline forward a bit.

That is indeed how body temperature works. Dropping below ~95-96 in above-freezing weather would be a sign of extreme metabolic issues.

Krazy_Kirby posted...
I've been on the temp check. people don't have high temps at 3am in the winter.

If you're taking people's temperatures so soon after they come in that they're slightly hypothermic in mildly wintry weather, you're taking their temperatures wrong. Presuming you're using an IR thermometer, people will often show lower temperatures than normal due to reduced peripheral circulation after coming in from the cold, so you need to give them a chance to warm back up in order to get an accurate read of their body temperature. Otherwise, you risk having the cold weather mask an actual fever, defeating the whole point of the temp check.

Krazy_Kirby posted...

At no point have I ever said that there's no chance of something being wrong with them. Only that the data that has emerged from the testing that has been conducted (testing which, to remind you yet again, has been no less rigorous than the standards applied to every other drug approved for use in the US) indicates that they do not pose a greater risk than Covid does. That belief is quite well-supported by science, thanks to all of the scientific data supporting it.

Krazy_Kirby posted...

It is a fact that people have been researching mRNA therapies since the early 90's. I don't know why you're taking issue with that, but you're not going to make it any less true by attempting to deny it. Obviously the Covid vaccine itself hasn't been in development for longer than Covid has existed, but there's also literally nobody claiming that it has been. If you think people are claiming that, you're grossly misunderstanding what's being said.

That was a non story. It was only like 6 people. There have been a lot of reported deaths and injuries associated with Pfizer and Moderna. The debate is about whether or not it was caused by the vaccine or comorbitidies with people. Obviously, when a huge number of people are vaccinated, especially older people, you will have a lot of deaths that are just bad timing

Research into practical therapies has really only started coming to fruition in the last 5-10 years, and with unproven technology, it's difficult to get buy-in for specific therapies when more reliable (as in, they've seen success before, not necessarily that they're safer or more effective) alternatives exist. The pandemic has presented a high-pressure situation where the market is more than big enough for several alternatives, though, so that competition has stopped being relevant and the technology is getting some time in the spotlight.

OhhhJa posted...
Why did it have to be mRNA?

mRNA was an especially good fit for this pandemic situation because all they needed to get started was the virus' genome, which was fully sequenced almost as soon as the outbreak was identified. Other types of vaccines rely on having viral samples to work with, which meant they were a few months behind. It didn't have to be mRNA (hence not all vaccines on the market are), but mRNA candidates were some of the first ones out the door because of that head start.

Nobody is 'changing their tune' in the scientific community or in the small portion of the population that is scientifically literate. It has always been a small possibility, but the evidence has constantly piled up in regards to 'animal to human', not 'man made', sorry. Scientists state small possibilities - woo peddlers jump on it.

and sorry, but intelligence that 4 Chinese people were sick in the Wuhan hospital does not exactly point to a cover-up lmfao. US intelligence found records of 4 sick people, holy shit....the same genius intelligence that couldn't add up 2 and 2 before Jan 6th?
