Offsite Post: ‘A Southerner’s Conversation with Dr Fauci’

 

(This fictional conversation is not intended as medical advice for anyone.  It is merely an attempt to explain why many Southerners have refused to let themselves be coerced into getting a treatment around which there still swirls a host of questions and concerns.  The quotes from Dr. Fauci are real (with minor edits for flow) and clicking on his name links to the source of each quote.)

Plain-folk Southron, Edwin:  Gracious, it seems we have upset you mightily, Dr Fauci.  Look at yourself – spluttering all kinds of impolite things about the South!

Dr Fauci:  ‘I think there’s no reason not to get vaccinated. Why are we having red states and places in the South that are very highly ideological in one way, not wanting to get vaccinations – vaccinations have nothing to do with politics.’

Edwin:  Well, sir, we agree there.  But our deciding to forego your COVID shots has less to do with politics than actual science.

Dr Fauci:  ‘Attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science. Because all of the things that I have spoken about consistently from the very beginning have been fundamentally based on science. Sometimes those things were inconvenient truths for people, and there was pushback against me. So if you are trying to get at me as a public health official and scientist, you’re really attacking not only Dr. Anthony Fauci, you are attacking science. And anybody that looks at what is going on clearly sees that. You have to be asleep not to see that.’

Edwin:  Do try and stay calm, Dr Fauci.  This isn’t personal.  Despite what you may have heard living up there in New England and within the pale of the Washington City bureaucracy, we’ve made some pretty good strides here at the South.  Most of us can read now, and what we’ve seen about COVID and its treatments doesn’t incline us to follow your recommendations.

We see, for instance, that there are lots of reports of dangerous blood clots resulting from the shots intended to protect people from COVID; that they also pose an unusually high risk for children and young adults; that natural immunity is much more effective and long-lasting than that conferred via inoculation.  And then there is the moral objection of folks to taking a medication that was developed using tissue from aborted babies.

Together with all that, we believe like the Psalmist:  ‘For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.’ 

God has something to say about our bodies, not just the a-religious scientist.

Dr Fauci:  ‘There are a lot of things about organized religion that are unfortunate, and I like to stay away from it.’

Edwin:  That explains a few things.  Be that as it may, you have to remember, Doctor, that people are not machines.  Yet that’s the mindset of those who made and are promoting the COVID shots.  Dr Charles Hoffe of Canada put it like this:  . . .
