ya but posts like this frustrate me bc this sort of apples to oranges comparison just pushes away middle ground folks & make the covid truthers/antivaxxers look stupid or hyperbolic, which we arent. if people just want to use this as proof 3459039450345 of how fucked Fauci is, sure. but it cant be used to compare with an airborne flu virus. bc for the first few months of covid we also didnt know how serious it was. but we are WELL beyond that so using the first few months of HIV to compare to 1 year+ in of a flu virus is not comparable.
That was my first thought as well, but then I remembered that we didn't know how it was spread or what was going on for at least several months.
Sure, maybe not a perfect comparison. But it's a valid one if you know the history.
If you lived through the first months and years- you are right. We didn’t know for sure how it was spread at first.
And then Fauci pushed that you could get it from toilet seats or spit or sweat..
He was always big on using fear for his fame seeking
