As @Vegas Disney Fan said, it's because he is essentially the national spokesperson on COVID and many people take his opinion as gospel. He is a key advisor to the President and that leads to policies like masks being required on aircraft.
Did you ask?
No. What he does is before there is any data he makes up an answer that sounds confident and authoritative based on his opinion. Then, after the data contradicts what he said before he says "based on what we currently know."
I'm not a member of the media nor do I have contacts within Disney. They are obviously well aware that people want to know because we know they monitor forums and social media. Yet, they have stayed silent.
That’s because his job is to use his experience/instincts to make assessment. It changes with data because officials look for direction in real time.
I'm not clowing/trolling. Apparently his instincts aren't very good based on how often he is wrong and changes his opinion based on the eventual data. If that's his job then he's not very good at it.
I am not saying this to be mean, so take with a kind tone totally. Guess who I never listen to? I asked this to simply say, you can ignore him. When this whole fiasco started I never listened much to anyone but our local Dr. Acton who was quite literally run out by covid hoax believers. I follow guidance and what many medical people say.
These are the same instincts he used with AIDS and Bactrim. If Fauci followed clinical evidence thousands of lives may have been saved. Fauci stated that Bactrim was an untested, unproven, potentially dangerous treatment and should not be used.
Fauci fights are so low rent…so many people who don’t know…and would never try…
I'm a physician. Do you know how often I'm wrong on my initial opinion? Often, but as all physicians are trained to do, including Dr. Fauci, we continually evaluate and reassess new information as it presents. Diseases and patients don't follow a predefined set of instructions when the get sick, otherwise, medicine would simply be like following a cookbook. We leave open the possibility that our initial impression might be wrong, that's why we mentally formulate a differential diagnosis and have alternative testing and treatments lined up if the initial lead doesn't pan out.
Correct! That is why people should seek second and third opinions from different physicians before settling on an appropriate course of action to address serious conditions. The more a patient knows and understands is a good thing.
And you have the story completely wrong yet again. That sounds familiar.
That's easier said than done. Some on a limited budget may only go through their in network doctors including referral to a specialist covered by their insurance plan.
It is hard to say this isn't a legit concern looking at the lack of trust we are dealing with. He is a part of that and he really only has himself to blame. I don't necessarily know if does it on purpose or realizes what he is doing, but how he goes about his business undermines his credibility. Too many times he gives an answer to questions where this is no way he can have an answer for. But he tries to give an answer anyways, but he is really just guessing. For some reason he cannot help himself to provide an answer to every single question. Sometimes, the answer is, we just don't know at this time. And his need to answer gets him into trouble down the road when we determine, based on gathered information, what he was saying was inaccurate. In these situations, it is not good enough to say the science as evolved. No, we just didn't originally know but he provided an answer anyways because he cannot let people he doesn't know. Way to many guesses to hypotheticals going on...he shouldn't be answering any hypotheticals.
When you give your patients your initial opinion, do you give it to them in a way that makes them think you know exactly what the problem is and what treatment will work? That's what Fauci has done.
Or some doctors I know walk to their cars with their stethoscope still on their necks. That's odd. Are they going to examine someone in their car?
Last I understood white coats for doctors are not so much PPE but a visual reminder that someone is a doctor. Please @Heppenheimer correct me if my medical loved ones have given a false impression of that. I mean I go into visit my or my kids' doctor or and they will have one on and nothing PPE about it when some visits are well checks.
