He's a true believer in this kind of research. He has years invested in it. He has spent years talking, writing and promoting it and writing off the risks and that's scary shit. Once you look at it that way, his current defensiveness is clear & understand what he stands to lose.
This piece in @thenation (Yes, The Nation) is so clarifying on this. This isn't about left or right. 4 million people are dead likely because of this research. That's why he deflects and distracts. It's his life's work and funding.

The biggest thing shielding him is how the national media has deified him. They will not press him on any of this because even they know where this possibly goes.
Science and molecular biology cannot be to blame for this. That's Fauci's starting point. "We're the good guys. We're only trying to help." This is why what Jon Stewart said resonated. Often times, these guys are NOT the good guys, well intentioned or not.
Fauci will defend his life's work like a rabid Wolverine, because that's what true believers do. That's what Marshall & Paul brought out of him this week. I disagree with how Paul went about it, but the reaction was telling.
If you commit to this kind of research and you cure cancer, you're a genius. If you kill 4 million people with it, you should be regarded as a monster. That's Fauci's dilemma, and what he's fighting off every day, and more and more he's looking like the monster.
Fauci and others like him, Collins at NIH, Peter Daszak are going to continue this kind of work in places like China because of the money that flows between them. Nothing will be learned. China is going to get away with this and this is the rest of our lives now. Goodnight.

"The very suggestion of free speech is now deadly." said the journalist.
See how this happened. It took less than 24 hours for a so called journalist to accuse @mkhammer of killing people, which this White House someone should be banned from social media for.

"President Trump missed his July 4th goal on vaccination rates. He's blaming Facebook and social media instead."
"The President's Press Secretary Kayleigh Mceneny said in response to questions about the administrations failures to get people vaccinated, that they would be targeting Facebook post and 'fake news'.
"However the administration refused to answer questions on why Vice President Pence said he would not trust the vaccine while campaigning last year. Also the President continued to wear a mask after being vaccinated, which no doubt raised doubts in the efficacy of the vaccines"

Reminder, Jim from Bulwark worked for Josh Mandel, whom his other boss recruited, and they now collectively spend their days attempting to distance themselves from and pretend they had nothing to do with how we all ended up here.

Jim also doesn't get jokes.
I could go into Jim's other boss, Charlie Sykes, but Charlie still won't tell me what Wisconsin town his mistresses were all from.
Maybe the one or two decent people at Bulwark will wise up to how toxic the rest of their crew is.

These people thought a true story about Hunter Biden in the New York Post was problematic.
Kind of think this statement from Psaki deserves a bit more attention than a passing soundbite.

He literally tried to make a connection and anology in a book with WWII "Papers please" to now saying "what's the big deal with showing your papers when we knock on your door?"
Jonah will no doubt call me a dick and podcast me on this directly or indirectly but I also didn't write a book tilted

LIBERAL FASCISM
