Only reason republicans have been out to get Fauci is because he dared to be critical of the last administration’s handling of the pandemic and to them he’s a scapegoat instead of admitting they fucked up

He oversaw the last few pandemics such as AIDS, Swine Flu, Zika and Ebola, and others as far as I know

What was one more doctor going to do? See like what, 40 patients at most in a month?
 
He was at his best at the helm of the national response.
 
Or do you think every admiral should be manning the long guns?

You can press “reply” at multiple replies at the same post – did you know that? There is no need to make a new post every time you need to reply to a different person.
 
BTW, how are you doing with the virus over there?

It’s an opinion based on how stupid your statement was.
 
Initiatives and processes need administrators, technicians, leaders, and clericals. He was serving as an administrator and coordinator of a several million person program across every state in the union.
 
Its not my fault that you’re too damn stupid to realize that and try and cloak your ignorance in faulty logic.

I’m sick of spoiled, ignorant fuckers who think they know shit while riding the bottom of the totem pole.

Earlier this week, Vermont became the first US state where at least 80% of the eligible population has received at least one dose of any Covid vaccine, with 70% of the population fully vaccinated.

Good to see at least some states have been doing things right.

  1. After going down to around 5,000, cases went up to 6,000 again.
     
  2. Almost all frontliners have been vaccinated: they include thousands of policemen.
     
  3. Students who will be attending the SPM and STPM tests will be vaccinated in July.
     
  4. On Thursday, around 221,706 people have been vaccinated. It was over a little above the government’s intended goal of vaccinating 200,000 people per day, but it’s a good start.
     
  5. Malaysia has enacted a recovery plan : the government plans to end the final stages of the MCO and restart the economy at around December.

    There are people who complain that its longer delay does not help people who are struggling with costs and poverty.

A new study bodes ill for covid survivors.
 
A study out of the UK, based mostly on those infected with the orginal Alpha virus and the increasingly prevalent Delta variant examined the effects that the virus has on the brain.
 
 
They found that in many patients with “long covid” they had sustained measurable brain damage. Mostly in the limbic system. Additionally, there was quite a bit of damage to places like the olfactory bulb, suggesting that the loss is smell may go deeper than previously thought. Damage was also reported in places like the prefrontal cortex.
 
 
The tissue loss in these areas are permanent, that stuff doesn’t just grow back. And while the body will eventually compensate due to plasticity, it’ll likely never return to baseline.
 
There are likely millions of people around the world who will suffer from permanent brain damage due to this virus. The strain on our collective healthcare systems will be astronomical.

What exactly would the symptoms of such brain damage even be? Based on what I can scrounge from a quick Google search, they’d probably be loss of non-anger emotions, loss of survival instinct, loss of smell at the mental level so you can’t even imagine smells anymore, loss of personality, and loss of sapience. Also the inability for even stem cell therapy to fix the damage. Basically, you mentally become a male Gazorpian.
 
And does the virus even need to be in the brain for the damage to occur? Or is its entry to the brain as inevitable as death and taxes?
