"So what explains the rage directed at Fauci, one of the most distinguished scientists of his generation?
Some of it is the result of an era in which a major political party—in this case, the Republican Party—has become deranged and captive to conspiratorial thinking. It draws energy from the dark passions.
Many people within the party, especially within its leadership and the right-wing ecosystem, delight in destroying institutions and individuals."

The GOP is full of rabid CT-driven people like Scott Atlas (and Jay B and Malone), who seek revenge from the scientific community that did not take their loony evidence-free advice seriously of letting COVID rip through the population. So, if it was that benign, then why are they blaming Fauci for the deaths, when all he did was help develop the vaccine? We cannot expect any logical arguments from the right, just lies, propaganda and vilification. Spread the truth and fight back! #UsPol 2/n
