When you see things coming to light today like the "For The People" act and see the conduct of the NIH, CDC, FDA, and NIAID and compare those to legislation and government organs Rand wrote about such as The 'Equalization of Opportunity Bill", the "Anti-Dog-Eat-Dog Bill" and "The State Science Institute", it is difficult to define her as anything but prescient.

Funny thing was, in July 2020, at that time I had not come all the way around to who Fauci really was (the abject snake he really is) and the fact that I had him cast as the character Dr. Floyd Ferris in Atlas Shrugged, especially what many of us have woken up to about this man.

It grieves me to see it coming true. Didn't think I would see it in my life.
