What disappointed by is the politicization of a pandemic. What I'm surprised by is your suggesting that I expect ALL-CAPS SCIENCE to look like the Ten Commandments. That's just such a stupid and presumptuous notion. I did very well in most of my science classes.
If that's the case then you should avoid terms like "flip flopping" entirely and withdraw that post.
Fauci didn't flip flop.
And by the way, if you remember his frequent FACEPALMS while standing next to Dear Leader Trump, you might also recognize that he was literally groaning under the pressure to conform his remarks to fit Trump's EVER-CHANGING chaos agenda, and when he refused, Trump began demanding he be fired.
I'm sorry but Fauci is not, was not and never will be a part of some imaginary evil government tyranny agenda or "whatever".
He's a scientist, and by the way, it may surprise you that scientists are sometimes wrong.
But the politicization of this whole mess has made it such that if he ever DID admit being wrong about ANYTHING, instead of getting the kind of response he gets FROM the scientific community
(Oh wow, what were you wrong about and what did you learn, tell us so we know what to watch out for!)
he'd instead get leapt on by a pack of angry seagulls, as if he's an injured newt.
I reject your entire premise of Fauci flip flopping with prejudice.
I reject it mostly because of a lifetime of hearing my nuclear physicist father announcing that "he was wrong about something" from time to time.
Nobody at the Defense Nuclear Agency ever accused him of flip flopping, and in point of fact, on the seventeen occasions where he was called to speak to CONGRESS, no one ever pulled a stunt like that either.
I would be more than happy to dig up some of his testimony to Congress so you can follow along.
The point being, America has been terminally dumbed down to where we don't even know how to listen to scientists anymore.
The Dark Ages 2.0 has arrived.
Scientists do not flip flop.
Occasionally they are wrong and they correct their path.
If they fail to do so, they don't remain scientists for very long.
Fauci has fifty plus years of stellar performance under his belt.
