With all respect, I never said Rand has no foundation from which to not criticize Fauci, but its difficult to take his comments seriously when he is commenting on virology without being versed in the subject. Doctorates are not equal across the board. I have a degree in mathematics, but I know jack squat about marine biology. All I know is they swim and taste funny.
I think the fallacy you are thinking of is Ad Hominem. However, I don't think I'm committing one there, I mean I didn't call Dr. Paul a poopyhead, or attack his credentials, I'm establishing that he is not an authority on the subject of viral outbreaks since he shoots lasers in peoples eyes. I could argue presenting him as DOCTOR Rand Paul is an appeal to authority fallacy. Lets put the fallacy measuring contest down for now. Like I said, I'm not deifying Fauci either. I think he miffed the mask guidelines a bit at first when it was pretty clear covid was getting out of hand. I am also not happy with explanations on vaccine effects on people with auto-immune diseases. Again, I get not alot of time for testing and studies, emergency use, yadda-yadda....but my own personal opinion/theory is people with auto-immune diseases may be at risk of prolonged side effects.
Hoo boy....Al "I Invented the Internet" Gore. I get the criticisms of Gore, and the evil deeds of DuPont go even deeper than that. I do still feel like you are skirting my issue. I never brought up Gore, he's not a scientist, and I cannot find anything to support your claim. On me mum, I looked for an hour for articles to support what you said and came up empty-handed. In fact, I did learn that Freon 12 was banned in 1996 due to it damaging the ozone layer, a decade before Gore's film came out. So, then its a lie that Freon 12 canisters used a CFC as a propellant. Do you have something to support your claim? If so, I promise I will read it.
My main issue with what you posed is "climate change scam". That is where we are not going to agree at all. Also, what do you mean by "all planets are getting hotter"? I am familiar with research that says the moon and Mars, possibly Pluto are increasing in temperature, but there is no conclusion yet as to what may be causing this, though for Mars is suggested that its exiting an ice age. Further, there is research I have seen that suggest Uranus is cooling. Even if I were to grant the Sun is taking sterioids and warming everything else...umm, you do realize that's still bad for us? I mean, if Mars gets lit than no biggie except to the rocks, but we live on Earth. If Earth is warming, which it is, we are going to suffer. We are already seeing the effects. You are suggesting a global conspiracy by which the vast majority (literally 99%) of scientists agree we are exacerbating a global temperature shift, but thier opinions must be purchased and ignored. Umm.....I can't really get on board with that.
Just a little addendum. I do think there are causes for global warming we are not told. Methane emissions from livestock could be a major player. Yes Virgina, cows may be farting away the atmosphere, and if that's true its perfectly poetic. Mankind goes out with a fart.
Tell you what, as much as I like a good, civil discourse, I'm willing to put our differences to bed and agree to disagree.
