The people who are anti mask now are anti mask because of Trump, not Fauci.

I can't even begin to entertain nor comprehend how you could think otherwise. This theoretical person simply doesn't exist, and no matter what Fauci said Trump was always going to be anti mask.

You're just wrong here.

I think it's completely absurd that you believe that inconsistent messaging from the person we are basically considering to be the de facto covid czar didn't have an impact on how people treated this pandemic. Yes, of course Trump is more to blame, as he always is, for everything. But there is just no question to me that Fauci's messaging was inconsistent, and that this hurt us. Not everyone who was confused is a Trump cultist.

It's not that I want Fauci's head on a pike. He made a mistake, not committed a crime, and I don't want him to be buried for this. But he shouldn't be put up on a pedestal either. Not in a country where we're approaching 280k cases with little hope of stopping the spread without a vaccine that may or may not even get distributed widely enough to work. Nobody in a position of leadership here deserves praise, is all I'm saying.
