Thanks, Randal. I’ll trust the opinion of a dubious ophthalmologist over that of an imminent epidemiologist any day of the week, especially regarding virology.

Take with a block of salt a guy who creates his own certification entity to get a certification as a ophthalmologist.

Non board certified mediocre ophthalmologist weighs in on opinions of leading expert on epidemiology. Dunning-Kruger strikes again.

I presume the free tonsorial perks going to the Senators in the Capitol building are currently not available. Are these jackasses so enabled that they can’t shave themselves?

But Randers put the lemon juice on his face so there is no way he could have been seen robbing us all of our last nerve.

Libertarians are truly some of the world’s biggest assholes. Selfish anarchy is all they believe in.

Well, fortunately for us, Fauci has a legitimate degree and certification for his line of work.

Unlike Paul, who made his all up.

They also love the sound of the word “libertarian” it’s so, so - I don’t know maybe it’s so revolutionary sounding!

Especially those “experts” who are accredited by their own accrediting organization.

WHY do we have to take experts testimony with ‘a grain of salt’ Rand? Because somehow YOU know jack sht? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You are such a dilettante in your politics. Flitting from policy to policy pretending you know ANYTHING as long as your name pops up from time to time.
