Yesterday a friend of my son's, was telling me how masks don't work with viruses. I listened because I do like the kid. He then told me Dr. FAUCI HASN'T seen a patient in 40 years. I started getting impatient, shuffled him outside, told him he had some bad facts. "Look it up" he said. Yeah yeah yeah. BYE. This morning I checked it out. Found an article from 2015 about how he took two hours each day to put on his plastic suit and personally help an American volunteer in Sierra Leone who had contracted the Ebola virus. This experience gave him much more sympathy for the victims of these diseases. I will make a point of reading this to him. Hoping to change his young mind. Also give a heads up to My own son to question this guy's BS

First of all, I don't need to look anything up. I read more books by the time I was twelve years old than most people read in a lifetime.
Second, when they say "Look it up", they just want you to read the same fraudulent sources they did, so that you can be as spectacularly uninformed as they are. If you cite sources stemming from scientific publications, they will simply reject them as being part of whatever conspiracy is currently rotting their substandard brains.

Trump failed to do the right thing, so he and the Republicans made failing to do the right thing a virtue and a display of courage. It was actually vice and cowardice as most lazy, thoughtless answers are.

Good luck.
