Fauci appears to have a second agenda. If he is replaced... There will be no tears from me.
It’s pretty clear that his agenda includes protecting his bureau’s turf. That is inevitable.If he is replaced... There will be no tears from me.
Since it is inevitable that his agenda includes protecting his bureau’s turf, anyone from the top of his bureaucracy would have the same agenda.Therefore, replacing him with someone better from that agency is a fool’s errand. Fauci is acceptable, and useful, where he is. For now.
After this is over there will be time to evaluate bureaucratic incentives and performance. Not now. If hindsight shows that the experimental use of the drug was the best thing since sliced bread, that will be a PR problem for Fauci and his agency as a whole.
