Dr. Fauci explains why some groups try to fight against Public
Health & Safety

Covid 19, and the Coronavirus Pandemic have brought a new
wrinkle to what constitutes Public Health, and for that matter
Public Safety.
Many experts in the fields of Medicine & Public Health have
merged to try and fight both a deadly virulent in our midst, but
also have to fight the simple fact that most times the "public"
is it's own worst enemy. Right now there is an ongoing debate in
our country about what's right & wrong' when it comes to public
safety... and the health of our nation as a whole.
Some folks, even some leaders, are still in "denial" that the
Coronavirus is a bad as people like Dr. Fauci try to explain.
The failure to deny the Science and Statistics on just what a
global pandemic can do to mankind, by simply saying "I don't
believe" what the experts say is, finally being called out by
one of the leading authorities on the Covid Crisis.. Dr Fauci
himself.
Here's Dr. Fauci's thoughts from an interview about the issues
his own family has faced, for his steadfast position of
delivering the TRUTH about this virus and it's grip on our
Country. Up holding that truth, even at the cost of family
safety. He's almost amazed that ANYONE would consider taking the
least safe path towards a solution. Read these a few times,
remember, he could have chosen any topic to discuss...but this
was on his mind the most.

He goes on to say this as well.

Public Heath - Public Safety, those two areas are one in the
same, avoiding the possibility of a catastrophe that would
affect large areas of the public.
And sadly the Erie Canal Neighbors Association has been pointing
out the same type of disregard for the SAFETY of the PUBLIC,
with this Facebook group calling themselves: Stop the Canal
Clear-Cut.
It isn't Covid-19 that's the issue in our area, it's Unsafe Erie
Canal Embankments that need to have trees removed to make us all
safe again.
But it is EXACTLY the same type of people fighting these Public
Safety efforts being made by the New York State Canal
Corporation to fix canal dams.
The same New York State Canal Corporation who has promised to
remedy the issue, to apply the right solution to fix the
problem, based on Science & Engineering.
And this Facebook group fighting against fixing unsafe dams,
well they are flying the flag of "Environmental Concern" which
makes it alright to them. They are also trying to change the
topic from Public Safety to Public Shade... or Oxygen loss,
anything to avoid the truth the Trees on Dams are Unsafe. They
have denied the issues with the safety of the canal system
continually, with no evidence to support their claims that
"Nothing is Wrong".
The OWNERS of the PROPERTY that is UNSAFE have stated personally
to the leaders of this Facebook group they are wrong about
ignoring safety!!
Folks, they have been just as much of an enigma to the ECNA, as
that Covid weary "public" has been to Dr. Fauci.
It's hard to believe that so many in our area could be fooled by
these Stop the Canal Clear Cut Leaders, who clearly lack the
proper amount of knowledge and understanding to even be
considered "leaders" Why anyone would abandon all common sense
to deny the safety problem in the first place is amazing, but
then to criticize the people who are trying to fix the
problems... it borders on unthinkable. But it doesn't seem to
matter, their opinion matters more to the followers of the STCC
rhetoric than truth & fact.
Kind of like the public's perception of Covid, some still think
a virus that kills at a 10X rate to the Flu is "Hype & Hoax".
Everyone can understand the frustration Dr. Fauci (& the ECNA)
must feel. You cant fake overflowing hospitals & funeral homes
now can you?
Where is the Dr. Fauci of Dam Safety in America? The New York
State Canal Corporation would like to have a word with you, I
think.
I know several neighbors of the Erie Canal that absolutely would
like to have a chat.
Because it's starting to look like some in our community will
only accept the truth, and that they were wrong, after the Erie
Canal floods and kills people.

I was just about to post the following comments when I saw this
one about Dr Fauci.
What a coincidence that I clicked on a link mistakenly and up
popped this page
HTML https://sites.google.com/view/eriecanalclearcutting/nypa-communications
A quick scan through it and I remembered the two letters to the
STCC from Brian Stratton. They are worth a read folks because Mr
Stratton explains, in no uncertain terms, why there is a
difference between a dam and a levee, and why the dams are
unsafe. He corrects several unsubstantiated claims by STCC
members, and spells out the NYPA plan to remove vegetation from
only high risk areas (dams).
So, why has the STCC published these letters? They can obviously
read, but it just hasn't sunk in. Doesn't the publication of
these letters make them look stupid? I don't see the STCC
purpose in publishing them.
They are in complete denial of the truth apparently because they
are still banging the same old drum.

Your question about the STCC Google website posting of these
letters is baffling
"I don't see the STCC purpose in publishing them. They are in
complete denial of the truth apparently because they are still
banging the same old drum."
Mike, here's the most plausible reason for this letter writing:
The LEADERS of the Stop the Canal Clear-cut Group want to make
sure their FOLLOWERS believe they are "important". After all,
they "wrote" to the Governor AND the Head of the NYS Canal
Corporation wrote back to them... see they hear us.
It's of no real consequence what the reply they received
actually stated, they won't care and deny it's truth if it
doesn't fit their narrow-minded views.
It really doesn't matter if the Governor or Brian Stratton
discuss safety concerns for the public on this Embankment
Integrity Program, the STCC Leaders also deny that safety is an
issue or that the canal is broken.
The STCC group didn't even listen when the HEAD of the NYS Canal
Corporation told this group they were MISTAKEN on their beliefs
that "unsafe dams" along the Erie Canal don't need repairs and
are "not dams".
In fact the ONLY thing that the STCC Leadership cared about was
simple... that they actually got a reply.
Because they can then state to their FOLLOWERS that they are in
"communication" with canal leaders and also claim that they are
being heard by them.
There was no need for these STCC Leaders to say that what they
complained about to the State, was easily dismissed as opinion &
conjecture by the people who own the Canal System, and also own
the problems trying to fix their public safety nightmare.
The STCC Founder & Leaders only care about the "optics" of
sending letters of complaint, not actually reading or believing
the replies they received that were trying to explain the group
is mistaken about their rhetoric.
It's never really about the TRUTH, with this Facebook group,
it's always been about the LIES they tell themselves, those same
lies that they want all their followers to believe.
And the STCC Leadership expects their FOLLOWERS to take in the
whole STCC charade, Hook Line & Sinker... fishing analogies work
best on the Canal
The ONLY thing this Stop the Canal Clear-cut Facebook Group has
actually stopped, it's the Dissemination of the TRUTH about
Public Safety along the Erie Canal.
And in doing so they have also lost the RESPECT of people that
matter, like the Governor, and the Head of the NYS Canal
Corporation, and their parent company, New York Power Authority.
Sadly they have NOT lost respect of the Fairport & Perinton
community they live within. The same PUBLIC being kept in danger
from unsafe dams, because a few STCC Leaders are to proud to
understand this phrase.. "You don't know what you don't know".
Mark Twain knew the danger of leaders like those running the
STCC and followers who believe them.
