Steve Gruber [VIDEO] Dr. Fauci Endorses “Tinder Hookups” As Long as You’re “Willing to Take the Risk”

As the lockdown heads into it’s 3rd and 4th week for some, and the unemployment numbers rise, and people’s businesses they’ve worked so hard for begin crumbling, tensions and patience begin to wear very thin and people start questioning things.

I know I have.

While I’ve never been one who believed the wildly inaccurate “expert numbers” of 2.2 million Americans dying or even the 200 thousand number, I still followed the rules set forth by the experts. Even as those numbers were readjusted down to 60 thousand, I still did my duty and isolated and did what was asked of me.

However, I started noticing things. It seemed like the more I did what my state officials wanted, the more the list of their demands grew. I’m in Michigan, so as I type this, I can’t go buy a packet of vegetable seeds or a baby car seat or clothes from a local store…but I can get booze and weed. Go figure?

I can’t get in my car and go see my cousins for a casual visit. I can’t get in my boat (if I had one) and go sit by myself on Lake Michigan…and the list goes on and on…what started out as “stay at home, wash your hands and be careful” has turned into a very concerning power-grab that has a lot of people wondering what the heck is going on.

For example…Why is it okay for me to stand in line with tons of other people outside of a supermarket and then be herded into a store that is filled with products and items crawling with germs – but it’s not okay for me to sit with my family in a church pew? It doesn’t make a lot of sense, does it?

The officials brush off your concern and say “it’s just temporary, it’s for the better of mankind.” Meanwhile, you still wonder…Okay, but why can’t I sit in a church pew if I can go to a filthy grocery store at least once a week?

That’s kind of how I felt when I read this piece about Dr. Fauci’s cautious “endorsement” of Tinder hookups.

Fauci was asked: “If you’re swiping on a dating app like Tinder, or Bumble or Grindr, and you match with someone that you think is hot, and you’re just kind of like, ‘Maybe it’s fine if this one stranger comes over.’ What do you say to that person?”

“You know, that’s tough,” replied the befuddled National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director to the curveball. “Because that’s what’s called relative risk.”

Then he dropped the bombshell. “If you’re willing to take a risk — and you know, everybody has their own tolerance for risks — you could figure out if you want to meet somebody,” said Fauci, who was named a candidate for People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” award.

He added, “If you want to go a little bit more intimate, well, then that’s your choice regarding a risk.”

But don’t invite every one of your Tinder matches over for a Caligula-esque orgy just yet. The unlikely date doctor subsequently pointed out that “the one thing you don’t want to do” is base your decision on whether “the person is feeling well.”

If people only transmitted when they felt sick, “that would be much easier,” he said. “But what we’re seeing, which becomes really problematic, is that there’s a considerable amount of transmission from an asymptomatic person.” [New York Post ^[1]]

I guess if we can trust some young person to make a decision on a “risk factor” when it comes to random internet hookups, shouldn’t we able to trust grown adult professionals to make those same decisions in the workplace?

I don’t plan on having intimate relations with anyone at work. Maybe a friendly “hello,” or a “how are you?” And afterward, I’ll likely wash my hands. So, why is that off-limits and deemed an “unsafe idea,” but this other stuff isn’t?

Just makes you think a bit, right?

You can watch the video below:

I don’t understand why it’s so imperative that we keep businesses closed to flatten the curve, but internet hookups are a “risk” you can take.

Meanwhile, people can’t pay their bills, their businesses that they’ve worked their entire lives to build are crumbling, and we’re told we still must stay isolated or everyone will die…unless you’re on Tinder. Then, it’s “meh,” just a “risky thing.”

This makes no sense to me.
