Fauci: 'Horrifying' to hear CPAC crowd cheering anti-vaccination remarks

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Fauci was responding to a clip of conservative author Alex Berenson, who spoke at CPAC on Saturday.
“The government was hoping that they could sort of sucker 90 percent of the population into getting vaccinated," Berenson told the crowd.
"And it isn't happening,” he added to applause."
" I mean, they are cheering about someone saying that it's a good thing for people not to try and save their lives,” Fauci told host Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union," referring to the audience's reaction to remarks at CPAC in Dallas.

We've got roughly about a third or so of the nation unvaccinated, primarily in the red states, due to the craziness of Faux news propagandists and the like. Now the Republican CPAC meeting only makes it worse...

Covid19 Not Linked To Bats

Posted By Rod Kaufman

" So far scientists have not been able to find any evidence linking bats to the virus, but the connection has proven to be nearly impossible to dispel.
“Up until now there is no evidence to show a connection between bats and COVID-19,” Weinberg told The Media Line. “This idea bordered on conspiracy.”

It's not the "positions" that are ridiculous, it's the utter futility of you being impervious to logic, reasoning and understanding that is ridiculous and of course, you did disappoint in failing to do so again and again...

"The more significant point is that POC is often viewed suspiciously and harassed for things wholly considered normal if a white person is doing them."
That's been evidenced by stories covered in the news and supported by video evidence time and time again. Of course, the cons on forum are unaware of it because they wouldn't find these stories covered by right wing media.  
What they will find and hear and listen to are anti-vaccer sermons from Faux news hosts and related from Newmax propagandists like these:

This supposition is not controversial since there are too many real-world examples of its actual occurrence. She is saying this is one source of racial bias in geosciences. Honestly, I doubt that kind of bias contributes significantly to racial disparity in geosciences. The traditional sources are gender and racial socialization, unequal access, job segregation, and so forth and so on. She touches on all of these sources, too, if you RTFA.

I've asked a number of direct questions, which of course you ignore, because you can't answer them, or the true answers would destroy your argument.

The left sometimes "manufactures" outrage?

Donald Trump was a stooge for Putin:  22 months long.  Total LIE  

The Republican party is attempting 2021 Jim Crow in the idea that they want to have accuracy in voting in Georgia and of course blacks are too stupid according to the left to be able to use a photocopier to copy their driver's licenses.  According to Kamala Harris, it is "nearly impossible" for Rural voters to be able to prove their identity at the polling places:  Total LIE.

The police officer who died at the capitol on Jan 6 was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher and that killed him.  Complete fabricated LIE by the left and CNN especially, to stoke outrage.  The officer died of a stroke the night after the Jan 6 riot.  Medical examiner confirmed it

5 people were Killed at the Capitol on Jan 6: Complete and utter LIE.  5 people died.  The only person killed by someone was the Trump supporter, Ashli Babbit who was shot in the face by a Capitol police officer.  

One man had a heart attack, another had a stroke, and one died of a drug overdose.  

There was no Murder committed by Trump supporters, but hey CNN doesn't care.  They promoted all those lies above.  

Those are just the ones off the top of my head.  Would you like a list of BS coming from the left, used to stoke outrage among their pinheaded followers?  

What is funny is that you ignore the manufactured outrage by the author of the article claiming racism in the field of Geo Sciences, then you chastise the Free Beacon for calling them out on their BS.  

Not a surprise.





      
"Donald Trump was a stooge for Putin:  22 months long.  Total LIE "
One only needs to review the Trump Putin meeting at Helsinki, better known as the The American Embarrassment, to recognize the stooge...
PS: Not to mention Manafort's role, uncovered by a Republican lead senate committee, in aiding and abetting the Russian connection in the 2016 election...
PS: And who is primarily affected by the daily Republican stampede to restrict voting rights?...

Let me see, despite Trump's lie to the contrary, he wasn't exonerated of anything. And, his campaign manager's role with the Russians in the 2016 election wasn't uncovered until after the Mueller report...
