Has anyone watched this? The sound on my computer is not working, but wondered if others saw this. Big debate on FB

Very interesting. I watched it then read up on her, then checked snopes on why she was arrested. Anyone wondering should do the same. I find this quote from the long snopes answer interesting as background on her claims.

Something really struck me in what she said about this. A little googling showed it was a lie.
She made a comment that vaccines are not going to work because Coronavirus is an RNA virus and no other RNA viruses have a vaccine against them. That kind of struck me as funny, but as I’m not a virologist, I have no idea which is an RNA virus and which is a DNA virus.
As it turns out, polio virus, measles virus and flu viruses are all RNA viruses as well and all have vaccines against them.
This might seem trivial, but when someone says something so blatantly untrue, I tend to side eye the rest of what they say. She is a well respected scientist who should know this stuff. Why lie about this?
I do remember the mess between Gallo and Montagnier about being the first to identify HIV. I did not realize Fauci was involved with it. But was he?
There are other issues I have too, just knowing what I know about research and what happens in labs. I’m now wondering about motivation for this now.
Not buying it.

Thanks Ken. I forget about snopes. It started with someone posting this video and the poster said about Fauci and Bill Gates that we shouldn't just believe in people in high places. My response was we can't believe the Highest position because he lies all the time. I said I trust gates and fauci more than trump. Was questioned what my basis for trusting gates more than trump. I said I distrust trump completely, so yeah I choose Gates over trump.
I posted the snopes and was told by someone that I don't know, that I was what was wrong with this country and that I should stop drinking the kool aid. Yeah just can't talk to stupidity when all they believe in trump.

If you recognize that the Dems tend to stick with hard science while the Trumpettes cling to faith (their faith in what Trump's guts say) the arguments over CV19 and global climate change make more sense. Of course a Trumpette would scoff at what Gates, a philanthropist who has sunk a bunch of his personal wealth into finding solutions for global health issues thinks, as he can't possibly have any kind of clue, while Trump, the guy who wants to investigate what happens when people drink disinfectants, and whose claim to scientific knowledge comes from the fact that his uncle was a scientist, obviously must have a better grasp on all scientific problems. I have some of these folks in my family. I won't discuss any science based issues with them because it's like trying to tell the Spanish inquisition that the Earth is not the center of the universe. It goes against the Pope's gut instincts.
