People create conspiracy theories to make sense of the reality they experience. COVID is the perfect example. It was difficult to believe that the "powers that be" were really that foolish or naive, so certainly something more insidious was afoot! The shadow government was depopulating the world intentionally through a man-made virus and the subsequent "miracle" vaccine! Now, stranger conspiracy theories have been proven true, but the reality is probably much less orchestrated or exciting.
What the human brain has trouble fathoming is that someone could be this calloused. Evil--that we get. Calloused, unconcerned, heartless--that we struggle to comprehend.
Faced with the opportunity for fame and fortune, Fauci chose to downplay and/or outright lie about the dangers of the vaccine. He went on TV and told America it was safe and effective. He was the darling of the media and celebrities, who demeaned and slandered anyone who posed legitimate questions. Governments mandated it based on his "expertise," resulting in the loss of jobs, reputations, and lives. Meanwhile, from his ivory tower the real lives and deaths of "normal" people appeared insignificant, meaningless, paltry.
Let them eat Dunkin' Donuts!
My friends, he was (and is) not unique. Behold, human nature! Given the opportunity, many politicians, scientists, and CEOs have done the same. If you doubt this, simply drive through any major city and behold the opioid crisis caused by “non-addictive” drugs!
The grand conspiracy is somehow easier to swallow than the basic reality of human nature. Common greed, pride, and inconsideration, exponentially enhanced by opportunity and position, are less satisfying, perhaps, but far more common. Fauci was presented with a choice between wealth and prestige or "doing the right thing," and he chose to get rich and pose for magazine covers. It's really that simple.
