I’d say that they were about equal in cult of personality to their most hardcore fans, but Fauci had/has WAY more without question. The liberal members of my extended family see Fauci as an infallible demigod. Even the most conservative of my friends & family are not Qanon members that believe Kennedy is going to reappear and deliver Trump back into the presidency. It gets media attention but those crazies are very small in number. People who believe Fauci will save us are everywhere.
Any public display of religion is inappropriate IMHO.
And as far as Christians goes...the bible has some interesting things to say about those that pray in public.
Do you think it’s a high probability that the coronavirus lab in Wuhan eff’d up and the epidemic is the result of their experiments?
What we should be unified on is that either way it’s China’s fault. Either A) They released a plague upon the world due to not following basic lab safety protocols or B) They released a plague upon the world because their people are savages who eat bats and are incapable of basic food safety measures.
