1. He's been awful in all this. Wrong several time and a history of telling half-truths. In fairness, lot's of others have been horrible.
2. Yes, his expertise is far greater than mine but that's one of the problems we have and why we are in the mess we are in. My record is simply better than his. Whether I'd put my judgment up against his depends on what the question is.
3. On the subject of deferring to the experts, I've written this before. I have a highly drug resistant bacterial infection right now. The doctors gave me some really bad advice for treating it. If I had listened to the experts and not questioned what they were telling me, my kids would have been burying me this last week. It was only because I used my own logic and reasoning that I'm alive right now.
4. Fauci today was caught in the bleechers of the basegame (regular folks don't get to do that), not socially distancing up there, and with his mask off. I had to drop off the car to get serviced for Utah last weekend while I still had my infection. Sat in the park for 2 hours in 90 degree heat while I waited for it. Got very dehydrated because I couldn't drink anything. When I went to pick it up, they lost my car and had me standing in the sun in a mask for 20 minutes. I happily wore the mask, didn't take it off or let it poke under my nose...around the 15 minute mark I got light headed and went boom down onto the pavement. Scuffed up my hand and thankfully didn't hit my head. I did a better job than Fauci with the mask
