That's one of the biggest problems with religion. When someone chooses to ignore all logic and believe a bunch of ridiculous fairy tales that they hear in church, that "suspension of disbelief" extends to all other areas of their life. When my ex-wife became religious, she started buying this special drink at $42 per quart. I looked at the ingredients and said "This is 95% grape juice, and you are paying $42 per quart" She responded "I choose to believe this juice has special health properties". She refused to look at the ingredients.

If people are looking for a hero, look at Katie Ledecky. People thought she would win the 400, she got 2nd. People thought she would win the 200, she got 5th. Then 1 hour later she won a gold medal in the 1500. The next day she pulled her team ahead in the 4X200m, and helped her team break the world record. Celebrate someone who perserveres through adversity, not someone who quits in the face of adversity.

Fauci nailed it again Rand is a asshole

BD66 comments on Jul 24, 2021:

This is a very simple issue: I'm good at math, but Stephen Hawking if much better at math than I am. However, If Stephen Hawking went on TV one day and said: 2 +2 = 5. Then he said: 2+2 = 4. Then he said: 2+2 = 3. I know enough math to show Stephen Hawking is dishonest and cannot be trusted. The same holds for Fauci. He knows more about virology than I do and than Rand Paul does, but Rand Paul and I know enough about virology to know Fauci is a serial liar. Here is the one that convinced me that Fauci cannot be trusted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRa6t_e7dgI He literally says "People should not be walking around with masks" and "Masks are for healthcare providers and people that are ill". You can conclude two things: 1. Fauci is a complete idiot. 2. Fauci is telling a stupid lie to the American people. #1 Fauci and the CDC were complete idiots because the #1 way to prevent a viral spread is for the public to wear masks. They both allowed the store of US masks to be depleted and rather than tell people how to make homemade masks (like I was doing at the time), he lied to people and said masks were not for them. #2. Fauci is obviously lying about people needing masks in a pandemic. They had enough sense to wear masks during the 1918 Spanish flu outbreak, but 102 years later, Fauci was advising just the opposite. Fauci has since reversed his opinion and advised people who have already beat Covid-19 and people who have already been vaccinated to wear masks. Rand Paul is one of the few people who has been pointing out Fauci's lies and nonsensical advice all along. This not a partisan thing. Fauci is a government administrator who has both lied, broken laws, and been an tremendous failure in his role. The Gain of Function funding issue is more complicated than the mask issue, but you don't have to be very smart to understand that Fauci is again lying to Congress and the American public. This should not be a partisan issue. It's extremely likely that Covid-19 was developed at the Wuhan Virology lab, and that they failed to contain it. Covid-19 cost the USA trillions of dollars. Another pandemic like that could bankrupt the USA. We should not be using government funding to develop any more "super-viruses" that can spread from animals to people. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-017-08837-7

Delta is spreading 50% faster than Alpha, which was 50% more contagious than the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, he says. “In a completely unmitigated environment—where no one is vaccinated or wearing masks—it’s estimated that the average person infected with the original coronavirus strain will infect 2.5 other people,” Dr. Wilson says. “In the same environment, Delta would spread from one person to maybe 3.5 or 4 other people.” https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/5-things-to-know-delta-variant-covid
