Why I Demote Fauci to “Mister,” and You Should Too

Oxford Dictionary defines “doctor” as “a qualified practitioner of medicine; a physician” or “a person who holds a doctorate.” Part of being a qualified practitioner of medicine is to “first do no harm.” A doctorate degree is defined as “the highest degree awarded by a graduate school or other approved educational organization,” and to achieve such a degree I think we can define someone with a doctorate as “an expert in one’s field.” And for these reasons, I can no longer call Anthony Fauci “doctor” in good faith without completely devaluing the title of “doctor,” and will refer to him as “mister.”

Ask yourself, has MISTER Fauci “actively done harm?” Well he funded gain of function research at the Wuhan Viralogy Lab, something that only could do harm. He said “don’t wear masks” to the American people so there wouldn’t be a run on N95 masks, which we can say “put people at risk.” He said cloth masks are effective at stopping the transmission of a virus even though any high school biology textbook published before 2019 would say “a standard piece of fabric is not woven tightly enough to trap a microscopic virus” (that’s how I knew that). He advocated stopping the economy with perpetual lockdowns that anyone that isn’t a brain dead communist would say “that’s going to make people starve to death.” The list goes on and on and on, and I’m sure he will continue to do harm in the future. I don’t care if you passed med school, if you are actively doing harm like this man here, I will not grant you the title of “doctor.” I don’t call abortionists “doctor” for the same reason (real doctor’s don’t murder babies).

OK, maybe those were just mistakes. Maybe he didn’t know “experimenting on coronavirus transmissibility” was dangerous, or he really thought t-shirt fabric could catch a virus, or didn’t think that putting a complete stop on extracurriculars would cause teenage depression and suicide to skyrocket, and maybe he didn’t know that “you can’t get the same viral infection twice and natural immunity is a thing,” and maybe every other thing he did was an “honest mistake.” This is all “medicine and biology 101,” I didn’t even major in pre-med or psychology and I knew all of this before 2020. If you are going to tell me “golly gee, I didn’t know, the science is still evolving,” your alma mater needs to lose it’s accreditation and you need to be stripped of your title immediately because you should have flunked out your first semester. Like, I know “college doesn’t teach you anything except how to hate America,” but I would expect a VIROLOGY degree to at least tell you “viruses are REALLY small, not just any barrier will stop them from getting through.”

This is why I will hereby refer to Anthony Fauci as “mister Fauci.” This man is either acting in malice or ignorance (possibly both), and neither are the actions of a respectable doctor. In my mind, this man is as much a doctor as Tim Allen and Denis Leary. Actually, he’s less of a doctor than them, because Tim and Denis can at least be called “experts in their craft.
