Jim Jordon angrily attacks Fauci

[TLK Valentine]

There's an old joke:

"My doctor told me to quit smoking, quit drinking, and quit chasing women. He said I needed to make some big changes in my life... So I made a big change: I quit my doctor."

Not so funny when you attempt it on a national level, is it?

Here is an exchange between Fauci and Jim Jordon.

When Jordan is listing all the restrictions from the last year, Fauci should just have answered, that all those restrictions were decided and enforced by politicians.

Nevertheless, he doesn't make the decision. So vote for people who aren't influenced and let them make the decisions you like.

That's how the democratic process works -- the medical process... not so much.



"Doctor, you said I have cancer. How long do I have to live? And I mean exactly how long... in months, weeks, and days, please."

Valid question, you say?

He COuLD have said any of the excuses presented in this thread. However he did not. Nor did he answer the question though asked numerous times.

Don't be silly -- then politicians would be responsible for those restrictions.

And responsibility is the last thing Jordan wants... far better to have someone to blame.

Why do you care? If you know the answer, why do you need to hear it from him?

Why does asking the question bother you so much?

Did you forget what the topic of the thread is?

Jordan didn’t get confrontative until Fauci started avoiding the question repeatedly.

Common sense asks why not just answer the question. Even if the answer is I don’t know, or it has yet to be determined.

And I don’t know the answer anymore than you or any other poster here. The ONLY person who could possibly know the answer is Fauci, and he is not saying.

 

[Subduction Zone]

it isn’t a matter of comprehension, I don’t agree with your excuses.

It is not an "excuse" it is an explanation. That indicates that you are not understanding. You are probably trying not to. Don't blame others.

There is no answer for the question that Fauci could honestly give that Jordan could approve of.

But that's okay, because Jordan wasn't interested in honesty. He was performing for the crowd.

Common sense asks why not just answer the question. Even if the answer is I don’t know, or it has yet to be determined.

Again, you know the answer already... why encourage Jordan's hysterics?

And I don’t know the answer anymore than you or any other poster here. The ONLY person who could possibly know the answer is Fauci, and he is not saying.

A medical doctor is not answering a political question? Say it ain't so, Shoeless Joe!

ETA: But I must admit, for a non-politician, Fauci is a fast learner. He saw through what Jordan was trying to do and played him like a fiddle.

When you give an explanation from a position of not being there. not knowing the person, not having a real basis - I call that making an excuse. It certainly is not from an informed position.

I'm sorry you don't like my reply - asking an obvious common sense question is not blaming others.

My opinion and question is just as valid as your opinion and excuse. I defend your right to state it, even if I think it is not a correct assumption.

"Doctor, you said I have cancer. How long do I have to live? And I mean exactly how long... in months, weeks, and days, please."

Worse than that. A cancer patient may not be able to do anything about his condition. We are able to fight the virus. There are still those that do not social distance properly and resist wearing masks. And of course the number one factor is how many people get vaccinated. How is Fauci to know when a sufficient number of people are vaccinated or not.

I think some people ignore the facts because they do not like the uncomfortable answers that arise from them.

You are continuing to not make any sense. An answer was given. Sorry that you did not like it.

I even asked you a question and you dodged it. That indicates that you know that you are wrong.

Are you for enforced vaccination?

Thank you for your opinion - we simply disagree -

Again, you know the answer already... why encourage Jordan's hysterics?

As I have already stated, I do not know the answer and neither do you. Hysterics?! That's funny.

A medical doctor is not answering a political question? Say it ain't so, Shoeless Joe!

Hey Joe Jackson - would you let him know he was being asked a question that was within his area of expertise - in fact that is why the good doctor was there - to answer questions.

Indeed, of all the quick and easy answers (the only kind Jordan and his ilk will accept) Dr. Fauci could give, none of them will mean anything because they all rely on Americans doing what needs to be done. A few idiotic decisions will kill it, and folks like Jordan will happily blame Dr. Fauci.

...and as we all know, of all the crises America has or could ever face, it will never suffer from an idiot shortage.

Like is not an issue - as already very clearly explained, we disagree

Are you for enforced vaccination?

Open a thread on that topic and I will reply - this thread is on a different subject.

That's a question for the politicans, not the doctors.

I know that we disagree, but you are of course demonstrably wrong. I doubt if you will let yourself understand.

An answer was given. Sorry that you did not like it.

Really? Then I must have missed it. Could you repeat it for me?

DITTO

LOL!!! Oh my, that is now how "DITTO" works.

Open a thread on that topic and I will reply - this thread is on a different subject.

Nope, sorry. I am not going to bother with that. And it is not a different subject. This tells us that you clearly are not following the conversation. You keep asking "When" and the answer is "It depends on quite a few factors". The vaccination rate is one of them. If this was your answer that was an invalid dodge that tells us that you know that you are wrong. You don't want to understand you are only looking for excuses for your beliefs.

When you want to understand ask politely and I will try to explain to you.

Which is why I asked our opponent if he was for enforced vaccinations. That would be a political action, not a medical one. Doctors cannot enforce vaccinations. They can only try to inform.

Oddly enough on other forums it is not just the right that still has antivaxerrs. smh. You would think that people could learn

The thread is not about me - if the best you can do is address the poster and not the topic of the thread, I believe it demonstrated a vapid position. When you would like to address the topic of the thread, I will engage again. Thank you.

It was addressed. Explanations were given. You made it about yourself by ignoring the explanations.

Do you have anything but false attacks against others?

Obviously not in your eyes I don't.

Have a great day!
