Every time you turn around, you hear or see “Fauci Says”.
I do ignore the advice, cause it ain’t worth a plugged nickel.
But no it is not too much to expect competence. Toss the incompetent SOBs out, and arrest Fauci and his collaborators.
I’ve read that the despicable Fauci tried to be a hero by being able to claim responsibility for an AIDS cure but couldn’t ever achieve it and that maybe the pandemic he participated in causing was his last attempt to be a hero by being in charge of the drug that saved everyone. (Doesn’t appear to be working this time either.)
If this is true then he’s sort of like a person who starts a fire and then tries to be a hero for putting it out.
