Go for it. I did accuse him of hypocrisy, for taking his mask off when he thought he was not being photographed multiple times. I thought he was wrong about the masks, accused him of knowingly lying to the American people for paternalistic reasons and flipflopping on his prior positions, including the double masks. I thought he was wrong and manipulated the evidence supporting mask usage. But I never accused him of using masks, for example, to bring down the Trump admin. That's the distinction here....this is a political act on his part, which he is selling administrative propaganda that this is a schools reopening plan when it is clearly a schools closing plan, as discussed in the other thread.

Don't know but he nails it.
Yup...this is a litmus test for political hackery v. those that are just wrong but well intentioned.
Just linking to someone who agrees with you is not much of an argument.
It's not evidence. It's a good expression of the litmus test for political hackery. Can't tell the distinction between the 2 much, can you?
The whole premise is just political hackery.
Now who's making an assertion without foundation.

I have no proof of any direct linkage, but it is interesting to note that the recent big surge in covid cases in the US (the surge from which we are now descending) started ramping up in mid-September.
It is interesting, but like you said, no direct linkage or causation. States that never went back to school saw the same surge, or even bigger surges in some cases.

When the conclusion is already determined, certain facts need to be ignored.

I have been saying this for a long time.
CA's premise was closure of schools, biz, etc would limit the spread.
Their cases per million are higher vs TX and FL who have taken the other path.
Obvious by inspection.
Displaying a little of your own partisan hackery there. Oh yeah, I keep forgetting...you are a "conservative".
I guess you can't see it because reading it makes you feel so good.
The conservative in me expects you to lay out precisely, point by point, why you dislike the CDC guidelines so much. The historian in me suspects that you won't.
It's been asked and answered already in the other thread including support. I can't help it if you are so lazy you won't go back and read the thread.
Which other thread?
CA Youth Sports. We've all been discussing it there. You've missed it.
I don't see a thread by that name. Is it a closed group?
Nope it's up at the top. Crush is the last poster. Maybe you've been banned by someone? ^\_(;?)_/^
Dad4's breakdown of the CDC recommendations was especially useful.
The top of what? Is this just a snipe hunt?
The top of the forums list. You really do need those glasses (or you've been banned). Either way it's funny. Someof the info is on this thread 2 if you look back far enough.
I told you....just throw the shoes away and move on.
Next thing tou know he’ll be asking you to type his responses out for him.
Fauci means well, but is in way over his head. His answers are easily influenced by whoever is interviewing him or the loaded questions they ask him. He is easily steered to a point of view. He is far from a public health policy leader which requires you to not only look at the issue at hand but also the ramifications of each decision (or interview you give) you make to address the issue.
I posted this at the beginning of the pandemic about how we need to be careful about relying on experts for projections.

Doesn't matter if the projection is negative or positive. At one point the IHME had reduced their projection as low as around 60,000-80,000 deaths (I don't remember the exact number). I don't care how smart you are, no one can predict the future with any degree of certainty.
Projecting what the virus will do is also not a math problem. The virus doesn't follow a predictable path.
Experts are great for telling us what happened, but they're effectively worthless at telling us what will happen.

Why Experts are Almost Always Wrong
No one, not even the experts, really knows what's about to happen
