Fauci Diagnoses America: 'A Degree of Schizophrenia'

[Social Media]

 

In a candid appearance on CBS’s "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert, former chief White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci offered a stark diagnosis of the current state of the United States, likening it to a patient suffering from "a degree of schizophrenia." When prompted by Colbert to diagnose America as if it were a patient, Fauci suggested the nation needed a psychologist rather than a surgeon or an internist. Fauci elaborated, describing the extreme divisions within the country and emphasizing that while people seem drastically different, they often forget how much they have in common.

 

Fauci, who was instrumental in the country’s COVID-19 pandemic response under both the Trump and Biden administrations, has become a polarizing figure. His encouragement for people to get vaccinated and his public health measures have made him a target for the right. Reflecting on his relationship with former President Donald Trump, Fauci revealed it was initially positive. However, tensions rose when Trump began to downplay the severity of the virus and spread misinformation. Fauci felt compelled to publicly contradict the former president, a move he knew would be uncomfortable but necessary to correct the public narrative.

 

Fauci’s forthcoming book will delve into his experiences working with Trump and the various challenges encountered during the pandemic. He recounted the personal toll his public health advocacy has taken, including harassment and death threats directed at him and his family. Despite the backlash, Fauci maintained that his public contradictions of Trump were not intended to undermine the presidency but to rectify misinformation. He expressed a deep respect for the office of the president, acknowledging the difficult balance he had to maintain between public health messaging and political sensitivities.

 

Fauci also lamented the increasing politicization of science, describing it as a disturbing and relatively new phenomenon. Recalling his early days as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease in 1984, Fauci noted that while political ideologies were always present, the current climate of hostility and vitriol is unprecedented. This shift, he suggested, reflects a broader societal divide that mirrors the schizophrenia he perceives in the nation today.

 

The conversation with Colbert highlighted the profound impact of the pandemic on American society and the complex interplay between science, politics, and public perception. Fauci’s reflections underscored the challenges of navigating these turbulent waters while striving to maintain public trust and promote accurate health information. As the nation continues to grapple with the aftermath of the pandemic, Fauci’s insights offer a sobering reminder of the importance of unity and the need to bridge the divides that have grown so pronounced in recent years.

I would agree.

 

When wokeism declares that a woman can have a penis, and that people can be whatever they say they are just by declaring it, when people have their own "truth", when people vote for a President so clearly suffering from dementia, there is clearly a degree of mental illness in play in the US right now. 

 

History will look back and laugh at the current period.

Being easily triggered to totally off topic politically motivated nonsense is probably included in what Fauci was talking about.

If you are basing this opinion on the findings of the Durham report then you are seriously misguided.
I would recommend reading the book, "Proof of Collusion" by Seth Abramson, (Professor, Attorney, and Author) who presents in excruciating detail, (backed up with references), what events took place between Trump, The GOP and the Russians. So detailed is this book that you have to download a separate pdf for the index information.
If you can recommend a book that "debunks this russian crap", I would be most interested to read it, if available. I do not want a four paragraph opinion piece authored by someone whose only aim is to protect Trump, but rather is based on indepth and verifiable information.

Be warned, this is a very tough read but, in the interests of edification I would be willing to send this book to you, as it is no longer available at Dasa Books in Bangkok.

That's the interview where Fauci finally admits that closing schools for a year during Covid was a mistake. It only took Mister I Am The Science 4 years to admit that 'conspiracy theorists' (and Trump) were right.

There were no conspiracy theories around closing schools, it happened in most countries in the world. The fact that they are now saying it was a mistake to keep them closed for so long says what?
