Here, as in, why am I here on earth? The internet? The free press? The comment section? I considered your view and thought it was bad. As others pointed out, nobody is directing their anger at those on the ground. My wife, as a nurse, administrated the vaccine and took care of patients sick from COVID-19. Yet, I still think Faucci lied over and over again, and that many parts of the pandemic were handled horribly.
I meant why on the comments section. I've had interesting discussions with diverse people on this site, which is why I'm here. I'm not sure the point of showing up if you're just going to shut people down who have opinions different from your own. Ignore me if you don't think my comment is worth engaging. I'm sure there are plenty of people here you can talk to with whom you agree.
Regarding this: "As others pointed out, nobody is directing their anger at those on the ground." As I pointed out to those others, this is simply not true. So much anger was pointed at those on the ground, scientist, doctors, public health figures. Copying from my response to Laura Taylor.
"I hope you die’: how the COVID pandemic unleashed attacks on scientists
"Of 359 respondents, 228 (64%) reported harassment related to comments made about the COVID-19 pandemic..."
Fwiw, I'm open to the idea that Fauci may have overstated, misled, and even maybe outright lied about a thing or two. However, the level of vitriol expressed against him and the conspiracy-building around him is insane. If it turns out he covered up a GOF lab leak - whether proved to be responsible for the pandemic or not - I'll join you. Until the allegation is proven, however, I'm not going to join the posse. Btw, I've noticed conservatives have a huge gripe with #metoo "guilty until proven innocent" standards (I share their concern), but are all over it when it comes to political or ideological enemies.
"...many parts of the pandemic were handled horribly." Maybe, but to which parts do you refer? I see a lot of people criticizing early pandemic responses, forgetting how little anyone knew back then, that we were flying blind. But maybe you're referring to things that happened later.
Finally, a huge thanks to your wife for doing that difficult and dangerous work! Such crazy, stressful, scary times. I'm so grateful for people like her who helped us through it.
Yes, but you told the author to layoff Fauci and brought up your Husband and people on the ground. Yes, of course there are crazies out there who hate any and everything that had to do with the vaccine. But the author of the article you commented on, didn't take any shots at the people on the ground.
Way to consider other views. Why are you here?

But sorry, I don't mean to come off as rude. (maybe a tad with my original comment).
