Comprehension of the underlying reasons for a particular set of events or advice isn't really a conspiracy nut's bread and butter. That's why they're idiots and professionals aren't to blame. Keeping the healer alive is a pretty basic strategy and Fauci was right to do it.
His one job is to not give public health measures a bad image, and he did the exact opposite by gaslighting. It's amazing how people are defending being gaslighted. Pathetic.
Your understanding of gaslighting isn't quite right.
He started with gaslighting. Then he EVENTUALLY corrected himself in poorly phrased ways that were far too easy to clipchimp his message ib to oblivion.
I do not care how much anyone respects him or doctors. I don't care what word you think would apply. His job was a communicator, and he failed miserably.
Yikes. Apparently he did gaslight people in the time between stating his position and then explaining it.
What really happened was bad actors circulated edited clips of this video, out of context, around Facebook and other social media sites. Lots of folks, apparently you included, ate it up and have been happy customers at the propaganda buffet ever since.
Do you seriously fail to underatand how communicating in a way that's not easy to misconstrue, and especially not clipchimp these days, is THE ENTITE POINT of his fucking job, then I am stumped.
You literally do not understand professional communication if you're just going to excuse failing to be a pro. Yes, it's NOT easy. That's why it's a damn well paid job. Stop making excuses for people paid far more than their performance.
All you can eat I guess.
I just remembered a pertinent video clip related to information distortion from a few days ago and dug it up if you're interested.
Hank Green Clip
You realize he fed in to that information distortion, right?
Holy fuck you're too dumb. You see information distortion, you refuse to disagree that he failed to do a good job. You just fail to realize how terrible of a job he did. Pitiful. You blind yourself.
Which is why the clip is perfect for you. You're pissed at dude that did his job because you believed misinformation. Misinformation your feeding to others right here on lemmy. But it gets better.
Notice how Hank specifically mentions isn't the fault of NOAA because much like Fauci, the information they gave was correct.
I'm summary: Peoole that make up and spread bs = problem. People that make factuality correct statements = not the problem.
Not really seeing why this is difficult. If I cut up and paste your replies to say whatever I want them to say using your own words, any reasonable person would look and say, yep Bananigans is the problem here. But for some unknowable reason you'd apparently blame yourself.
Because your only example of him doing a bad job is regurgitated misinformation, which is the whole point of all of my replies. I think you'll be more convincing if you try me again with less alternative facts.
