On Trusting the Science & Stumped

Even though the subject is repetitive, with little in the way of humor involved, I still feel enough anger over the incongruities, obfuscations and lies told to keep posting the cartoons/memes that have recently been catching my attention and resonating with regard to Fauci's involvement and the media's approach to Covid information.  These come from Powerline's The Week in Pictures Winner and Still Champion Edition:

On A Totem & A Reckoning

 

As I read Glenn Reynolds' Substack tonight, on "Why Fauci Matters-- He's not just a powerful guy who acted in bad faith. He's a totem to a whole class of people who don't care about that", this quote stood out as an answer that fit my perspective, along with his view of Fauci as a totem:

"I think the answer is that Fauci, and Faucism, represented the apotheosis of what the managerial/academic/journo class desires: An excuse for sweeping power, based on (alleged) expertise, in which they could ride roughshod over those stupid proles and flyover people while preening about the allegedly superior moral and intellectual qualities that justify their rule.

Then it turned out that they were wrong about nearly everything and — as Fauci’s diaries demonstrate — knew it at the time, at least at the top."
