I don't really think that OP was comparing their psychological states. Fauci may or may not be a psychopath, and Einstein definitely wasn't the monster that Fauci is, but what I think OP means is that. Einstein and Fauci both gave us flawed models, and people believe their models so religiously that if you speak out against said models you're AnTi-ScIeNcE. When information contradicts those models it is shunned, and the person who shared the data is smeared, ostracized, and ruined professionally.
Every detailed, complex model of how the universe works is flawed; that doesn't mean they're useless. Newtons laws were very useful for hundreds of years and STILL ARE.
That's not Einstein's fault -- he was a scientist and changed his views repeatedly based on new evidence or more compelling theory. But PEOPLE in general behave the way you describe; when they have paradigm solidly in mind they REALLY don't want to change it.
The problem with the comparison between Einstein and Fauci is that Fauci knowingly gave malicious advice to millions (billions, really) of people that caused widespread sickness and death.
Einstein did science that has dramatically improved our understanding of the universe and helped to provide tools never before even imagined (of course, how tools are used is another story, but that's true for all tools).
Well yea, I can't find any flaw in that reasoning. Fauci is a piece of human garbage that should be swinging from a noose. Einstein is and always will be a one of the greatest scientific minds of this era, and yea I agree it wasn't his fault. I believe he later tried to change his mind on the Ether, but it was too late his theories already hit the mainstream.
