Who Read The Real Anthony Fauci

[hntnhole]

It's entirely logical that certain extended families, with some brilliant members - and a couple members of less-than average intelligence - exist. 

There's simply no reasonable excuse to vote for someone just because that person bears the same surname of brilliant relatives.

I wouldn't piss on RFK Jr if he was on fire either.

Neither would I.  Save it for the piss-boys, who deserve your piss far, far more.

I saw that, and liked it.

I was only trying to jump in your bandwagon. I may have tripped . . . LOL

Curious if any of you read the book? It would suggest that condoms are useless but avoiding poppers may be wise. Thoughts?

I read "The Real Anthony Fauci" by Robert Kennedy Jr in '23. I borrowed it from my local library. It took me a few hours. I think RFK Jr is the most interesting man alive because he asks really important questions. I think people who  condemn the book without reading it are really boring.

         I do not remember the book saying condoms are useless, but avoid poppers. I remember gay men and ACT UP. I did not know until I read the book Fauci would not allow the use of old drugs to be repurposed to treat HIV.

    I was young when I tested HIV positive. I'm old enough now to say I lost 30 friends and lovers to HIV/AIDS.  The same disease I have. Most of the men that I knew that died took prescribed medications. Two died of brain tumors, that were really tragic. Handsome and healthy before AZT.  A few died early in the crisis before we even called it HIV. I have probably had HIV that long. I was teen runaway in LA. My health thrived without Rx. I have avoided condoms for the last 20 years. I have used poppers too. Poppers and viagra may have killed a few friends(senior citizens) in the last few years. Thanks for reading this.

rfk jr. is an embarrassment to his whole family, who have all endorses biden. at one time, years ago, he was a fine fellow. but his anti-vax and beaucoup conspiracy theory crap makes him as bad a president as was/would be the former president.  in fact, he is in the race to be the jill stein ('16) ralph nader ('00): to defeat biden.  it won't work this time b/c kennedy is just too far out.  in fact, he is likely to take more votes away from the other guy than biden.  and listening to him is a chore. either he just does not know how to converse, or there is something wrong with him.  one trick pony, who will be put out to pasture soon.

anthony fauci, btw, was one of the first, and for a while, the only medical person willing to help those who had aids.  he is a hero.  you can try to smudge his rep by talking about azt blah blah blah. at the time azt, was--however briefly--viewed as the only med available. i am sorry, dickluva, in your kennedyain'tsobad screed, that you do not mention fauci's service to glbtq people.  how quickly we forget...if we ever knew.

I bet You cannot honestly say you read him. So many citations in his book. Please let me know if I’m wrong.

My other challenge with liberals is that they take the assertions of bureaucrats at face value. A lot of the values espoused are great. But there is less effort to understand whether it was talk or walk. Peace all. We may not agree but I’m happy we share the same planet.

The problem is the broad brush with which you paint "bureaucrats" - which includes both, say, the clerk at the DMV who processes your driver's license renewal and the respected and honored scientist who forewent a career working in private industry to conduct government-sponsored research and to help get that research into use. It's so frequently used as a pejorative by people who themselves lack enough scientific training to understand why water is wet at room temperature.

I agree with your point here BootmanLA. It is unfortunate that time and space force one to take shortcuts in crafting a message. Thanks for manifesting the diversity there.
