The Public is Just Plain Dumb

May 20, 2021

That’s Lord Fauci’s latest declaration.  He now claims that “the public is misinterpreting” the latest ever-changing, non-scientific, all-about-politics-and-the-CDC-budget, Hitlerian dictate about mask wearing.  It’s not that we’re sick and tired and fed up with Fauci, the CDC, all the mini Mussolinies, lockdowns, serial lying about the planned-demic, and throwing the Constitution in the toilet. We’re just so dumb we don’t even know how to follow Lord Fauci’s orders.

We now have a new definition of “science.”  Scientific knowledge is not derived from applied mathematics, the generation of testable theories and hypotheses, discussion, research, debate, and scholarship in general, but from the mouths of the likes of one Anthony Fauci and scores of other government bureaucrats and political hacks.  All dissenters are to be libeled, slandered, smeared, and character assassinated.  Furthermore, science is no longer knowledge that free people can utilize to make decisions for themselves about how to live their lives.  It is now the justification for orders and dictates by the state about how you MUST behave — or else.  Follow the science my ass.
