I agree with you on principle, of course. But when they say "the science changes!" when referencing why absolutely no masks one minute, then maybe masks the next, then maybe two masks is "common sense"... what exactly changed, from 5 minutes ago? Maybe political winds changed or decisions about what information the public should or shouldn't be allowed to disseminate (for example, it was admitted that the initial "no masks!" was largely to avoid a rush on masks for fear that medical professionals would see a shortage) by people who shouldn't be making that call on behalf of families and individuals, but certainly not the
science. And that's just one case.
The problem is that Dr. Fauci, who actually hasn't seen a patient in 40 years (and if you want to talk about his handling of AIDS, it's public knowledge that at one point -- and his peers decried him -- he openly suggested that maybe you could contract HIV just by being in close proximity with infected people in a room, despite studies in his possession he refused to read fully), has become a bureaucrat and politicized. This was never clearer when, while he had very loud and verbose opinions about everything else including shutting down schools and churches, he inexplicably had 0 opinions when asked repeatedly about "Should the BLM protesters not protest because that will spread the disease? These are hundreds/thousands of people screaming next to one another in the streets. Where do you come down on that?"
There's really no excuse for that, from where I stand.
