My aunt was one of those covid deniers. She argued that if it was as bad as the experts said ot was “people would be dropping like flies”. To her it was either people are literally dropping dead suddenly in the streets or nothing is happening.

They didn’t even realize covid was killing them while they died in droves, so my bet is on never.

And they blamed Fauci who Trump hired and could have fired at any time.

Trump didn’t hire Dr. Fauci.
He was Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from November 2, 1984 to December 31, 2022.

Did you mean to lie on the Internet or are you being paid to lie on the Internet?

Fauci was director of NIAID. Trump picked him to lead the White House COVID Task Force. Then Trump threw him under a bus.

Fauci was not “hired” by Trump. That is a taskforce made up of a bunch of people from various government entities. They didn’t take a new job. Fauci already worked for the NIH, a government branch. He was not hired by Trump.

??? Trump hired Fauci to lead the Whitehouse Corona Virus Task Force. Then Trump threw Fauci under the bus when his base didn’t like what Fauci said.

Fauci was already working for the NIH long before trump was president. Trump didn’t hire him. Fauci was chosen as a member of the Covid task force by trump, correct - along with 11 other government department employees.
