Let's stroll down the Fauci Pandemic Playbook 1980 Version:
1. Stoke fear through unsubstantiated speculation (1982 paper speculating on contact transfer of HIV, set the response back decades);
2. Tell a noble lie (cover up the fact that gay men were hugely at risk, 1000s die);
3. Go all in on a vaccine and diminish therapeutics (vaccine program for HIV failed and Fauci only rescued his career by aligning with NYC activists);
4. Backtrack (went with therapeutics advocated by others, therapeutics saved lives);
5. Take credit (Fauci still believes according to some that he deserves a Noble);
6. Ignore the catastrophic damage of his policies (unnecessary death with lie and all in on vaccine).

Notice any parallels?

There is a relatively new tactic on the Left to shut people down. Credentialism. This tactic involves diminishing someone's opinion by reference to their lack of a particular credential. For instance, I am just "a litigator" and @TheEliKlein is just an art dealer.
This technique is nothing more than putting people in their place, even if they have knowledge in the space. It allows the person making the argument to avoid the content of the point. So, when someone makes a point, the Left avoids the point all together with this tactic.
This is gatekeeping. If you know something, say it. If someone with a credential does not appear to know something, don't listen to them just because they have the credential.

I would take any of the following (with a month to prepare) in a debate about Covid and Covid policy over EFD and Lena Wen: @angrybklynmom, @EWoodhouse7, @districtai, @the_brumby, @ifihadastick, @boutros555, @Emily_Burns_V

Holy crap! Is this possible? It could be pay-per-view!
@angrybklynmom @EWoodhouse7 @districtai @the_brumby @ifihadastick @boutros555 @Emily_Burns_V I left out @txsalth2o. Ran out of space. These are the people I go to for rational discussion on policy.
@angrybklynmom @EWoodhouse7 @districtai @the_brumby @ifihadastick @boutros555 @Emily_Burns_V Folks, the month was for EFD and Lena Wen. Need to keep it fair.

This surprise regarding natural immunity conferring powerful immunity is maddening. First, you're immune system starts the fight against a virus through an Antigen Presenting Cell (APC). The APCs are: dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells.
APCs take up virus through infection or intentionally taking up the virus. The cell will then either chop up proteins of the virus through a machine called a proteasome, package them with a receptor called MHC I and send them to the surface or breakup the proteins in a lysosome
and send it to the surface on another receptor called MHC II. MHC II activates CD4 T cells, while MHC I activates CD8 T cells. CD8 T cells are serial killers; they kill infected cells. CD4 T cells are helpers; they recruit B cells.

The history of western liberalism is replete with protecting rich, elite sensibilities to the expense of poor, marginalized groups around the world. If you don't believe me, look up Judge Edmund Sweeney and the DDT hearings. It will shake you to your core.
When used appropriately, DDT is a very safe and incredibly effective insecticide. It ended countless outbreaks of disease through the 1940s and 1950s. But rich, western elites wanted to end its use because they felt it was environmentally bad. They succeeded.
It set malaria control back decades. But who cares when the impact is felt far away on people who are "Third World"? A few tens of millions of "those" people aren't important when sensibilities are on the line.

The first step here is talking about coronavirus. Coronavirus is an RNA virus (its genome is RNA; ours is DNA). The genome is around 30 kilobases. The genome is surrounded by an envelop of lipids and envelope proteins. It also has the famous spike protein. So what is that?
The spike protein is a structure that looks like a chicken leg with the fat part of the leg sticking up. There are many of these proteins on the surface. The spike protein is made up of S1 and S2 subunits. The S2 subunit has a stalk structure that has multiple hinges.
The hinges allow the spike to sway and flex. This likely allows the spike to search for its target - the ACE2 receptor. Once the spike finds that receptor, it binds to it and then waits for a protein on respiratory cells to come along and "cut" the spike at a specific point.

The sad part of our present predicament is that the US is for all intents and purposes a bureaucratic state. The APA foisted much of the job of writing law onto bureaucracies. This in turn allowed Congress to write vague and at times nearly incomprehensible legislation.
Thus, government organs such as the CDC, FDA, Treasury, and others now rule over the land. The Code of Federal Regulations is the law of the land, codifying bureaucratic interpretation of vague statutes. Bureaucrats are the people who rule you, not the elected officials.
Sure, we elect officials and they can modify the edges. They can swing things in a direction. But it is the bureaucracy that runs the country. The bureaucracy will never allow real, substantial change. That bureaucracy is why we have so many issues today.
