obviously and unfortunately, we won't get proper messaging from our so called, "Leaders", the government

And one more time, I'm pointing out a single example of GOOD statesmanship, in contrast to several examples on preceding pages of BAD statesmanship.  If it were unique and unusual for Fauci to undermine his own objectives, I wouldn't bother.  But this is a consistent pattern with him.  I'm pointing out the kinds of things that can be stated that are actually likely to achieve his objectives, as opposed to things he ends up saying, which are poorly stated in general and downright baffling at times.

You won't and can't paint me into a corner of rallying for Trump.  But there can be no doubt that his statement that I quoted, was far more encouraging, than Fauci's typical commentary.

As you know, you've just made the point.

I continue to be baffled by some of the things I hear about how we're going to get out of this pandemic and get back to normal life.  How we're going to get the kids back in school, when my kids have been in school since October.  How we're going to be able to have small backyard family BBQs by the 4th of July, when that's what we did LAST year in the middle of the pandemic with no vaccines in sight. And how we're going to be allowed to travel, when folks have been doing that since last May.

And how we're still going to need to wear masks and avoid large gatherings even after we get vaccinated, because.... ?????

It makes absolutely zero sense, and it undermines the actual goal, which is to get people vaccinated and get things back to normal.

Not a "new normal."  There is no such thing.  One way or another, people will get all the way back to normal, real normal, old normal-- regardless of what their government officials believe they are entitled to "allow" the public.

So the government should probably get on board with proper messaging to help that happen.

I know many of you have disagreed with my stances on certain aspects of lockdowns/etc...

I just want to state, unambiguously, that I am 100% opposed to any sort of "vaccine passport" or anything of the like.

In about 2 months, anyone who wants a vaccine will have had one, and anyone who doesn't want one is playing with their own life and has to accept the consequences.

But I do NOT support the idea that we all must "show our papers" in order to return to life as usual.

2-3 months from now, it's going to be normal, no matter what anyone in Washington thinks.

agreed

they shouldn't be given a podium and a microphone
