idk if the rating was deliberately juiced cause even before the score went up to 5.8 there’s thousands of votes that aren’t sorted into the presented demographic categories

also why the gently caress would imdb care about the user ratings of a documentary profile, is there something I'm missing here? like the rating isn't for fauci himself and he presumably didn't make the film himself and also it means nothing?

people were review bombing it and imdb tried to correct through some formula that is not clear to me

Fauci is poo poo but the right-wing has made him out to be some kind of shadow president that controls where people can go and has the sole power to cancel holidays. The Soros of the new decade.

i have an idea lets talk about the fauci documentary instead of capes

https://twitter.com/statomattic/status/1447994820451053572

quote:

New York Times reporter Apoorva Mandavilli appears to sing the praises of the good doctor, as well as former CDC director Tom Frieden, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Laurie Garrett, and former National Security Advisor and current Assistant Secretary of State Susan Rice. The selection of these defenders is ironic given that Mandavilli has recently published egregious errors regarding COVID’s threat to children, Rice had a rocky–to be kind–relationship with the truth during the Obama administration, and Frieden is a convicted sex criminal, but the subject of the film is Fauci, so let’s return to him.

awww yeah this is the good poo poo

so how much does the fauci documentary gloss over his role in the aids crisis. probably entirely right

depends on what you mean by gloss over according to the review i posted half of the runtime is about the aids crisis but the movie somehow manages to avoid saying anything about what fauci actually did except show leadership this is a banger bit btw

quote:

One morsel of truth Fauci does deliver to applause from AIDS activists is that “scientists cannot dismiss activists merely on account of the fact that they are not trained scientists.”

I am curious what the author thinks are the "very real, often very scientific, concerns of COVID skeptics," but otherwise it's a solid piece.

quote:

While the point of movies like Shang-Chi reaching mainstream popularity is for children of all backgrounds to be able to love heroes of all kinds, there is more nuance to this. What if, for example, the execution of the costumes included yellow face makeup and the taped-up “Asianized” eyes that have become a part of the “fox-eye” trend?

Cindy Joung is a director at Gold House, a high-profile nonprofit dedicated to enabling more authentic multicultural representation and societal equity for Asians and Pacific Islanders that co-organizes #GoldOpen campaigns. “Dressing up as Shang-Chi by wearing the dragon scale suit and donning ten rings on your arms because you want to fight bad guys and join the Avengers is good,” says Joung, who is also a mom to a 5-year-old daughter. “Pulling your eyes back and uttering ching-chong noises while in a Shang-Chi costume — or ever — is, of course, not OK.”

what’s the controversy around Fauci? Aside from what muh freedom antivaxxers whine about.

He's the same guy that was involved in handling the AIDS crisis during Reagan and did a horrific job. During our current pandemic, Fauci and the CDC essentially say 'No we don't need to do any extra measures' and then change their minds months later or not at all. He drags his feet with everything.

I love the story about how Pattinson was skipping workouts and whatever supersoldier serum the studio keeps trying to give him for the new Batman movie. Give me a scrawny guy, not a muscle monster.

just with covid, he stemmed supply problems with facemasks in march-april 2020 by saying they weren't necessary for nonmedical personnel, which went a long way toward birthing the anti-mask movement. then put in the least effort out of any first-world country in instituting any sort of restriction of movement or enforcement thereof, delegating that authority to localities without any promise of federal support or backbone. was run roughshod over by republican governors. oversaw hilarious rollout of vaccines, bent over backwards to support copyright law so they couldn't be immediately generic'd and exported, then hosed up the distribution logistics compared to other countires. opened 'er up

EDIT: as always, no american in this position would have performed better because of regulatory capture. fauci's been where he is that long because he serves other interests than the public. we're doomed to deal with this stuff until violent revolution :)

also good to note that this didn’t really work, partly because of production not ramping up right away, partly because hospitals lowballed their estimates of what they’d need (arguably due to Fauci’s lax attitude), and partly because Trump was straight up letting feds steal stuff and divert it to red states. Fauci was mostly silent on this

Trump's Covid response was terrible and Biden's response was also terrible, and the one guy they have in common is Fauci. Granted, I still blame Trump and Biden more.

Perhaps if Fauci was treated relatively indifferently, I would feel more indifferently about him. But because shitlibs are elevating him to RBG status and whitewashing his quite mixed record as a public health official, I'm cool with saying he sucks.
