Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), says the idea of firing or demoting Dr. Anthony Fauci is unimaginable.
This is a remarkable scientist who has led NIHs efforts in infectious disease with great distinction for more than 30 years, and who continues to be our lead in vaccines and therapeutics for Covid-19, Collins told STAT News on Friday. The idea of losing that leadership at this critical moment for our nation is unthinkable. Fauci currently serves as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is part of NIH. Collins is Fauci's boss.
When asked if he would dismiss Fauci if it was ordered by government officials such as the President or the secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services, STAT reported that Collins only laughed and said, I think you heard my answer.
STAT also reported that Collins touted Faucis decades long scientific acumen as a national asset, and said this was especially critical at this time.

The man is guilty of being opposed by malcontents who have no science.
The lead in therapeutics has condemned tens of thousands of Americans to death anc suffering over his pedantic insistence on lengthy clinical studies ( some notably flawed) that deny battlefield treatments to Americans - that are saving lives in other countries
Why does Taiwan, a nation of 25 million, have only a dozen deaths?

Comey wasn't revered by the Dems and the media like Fauci.
Ignoring and firing are 2 different things. Sounds like they are baiting Trump to fire the liar. He wont bite.

Exactly.
I work in pharma. Trump is definitely in the process of overhaul. FDA is running scared. Never seen so many cancer CURES fast tracked for approval.
At this point, and I’m not exaggerating, the FDA is moving faster than we are in terms of approval. By that, I mean the FDA says, ‘get ready, we’re about to rule’, which means we need to gear our commercial systems up to be able to sell it, and BAM the FDA approves. Normally that gap would have been at least a year. Now it could be as short as two weeks.
We have to do a lot of stuff in order for our commercial folks to be able to properly interact with doctors. Of course, as soon as we get approval for one on-label use, the process of getting an off-label use to on-label begins. We do cures, not therapies. Our molecules are like bombers that look for the right protein flags on a cancer cell. The molecule lands, and there are little chemical pylons that hold cancer killing drugs that dissolve and the drug is delivered right to the cell itself.
No collateral damage. If we can land on it, we can kill it. Molecule even looks like a bomber. So weird.
“Dr” Fauci, at best, was a practicing doctor only during the two years of his internship and one year of residency before he was made a researcher. One year of residency in whatever specialty does not complete a program that builds competency. He is an expert in medical fraud and self-promotion.
Ignoring him is the best approach.
Add “all” gov’t jobs to include SCOTUS.
That's obvious. Anyone who does 10 interviews a day, poses for GQ magazine and speaks in generalities so as to make no waves clearly is starving for attention.
This would be the guy that promised a vaccine for GRID right?
Oh well... it has only been 40 years. I am sure he is going to announce one any day now.
Any scientist who cant factor the second and third orders of effect into his thinking isnt much of a scientist. It appears that the cure for COVID may be worse than the disease.
“””Fauci serves as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases”””
Anybody who has been in the same job for 30 years has tons of skeletons in their closet.
The only reason Fauci at age 79 stays on the job is to keep those skeletons from being exposed.
Hopefully, someone at the CDC is auditing his expense reports and someone at the IRS is auditing his tax returns.
I might add, someone needs to audit how much Fauci has received in speaker fees and from whom over these 30 years.
Leveraging his position, while still working, to make millions, There ought to be a law...
How about plain old retirement.
That’s encouraging about the FDA. But the CDC is really the problem at the moment.
Linked heavily. Fauci’s worth a whole bunch of money since they passed a law saying that an individual working for the gov’t can personally profit off of research done while in gov’t service doing work in a gov’t facility with gov’t money.
If a good new test comes along, you can have it so that the community will refuse to peer review your work and have one of ‘their people’ basically steal your work and publish it. Once that happens, guy like Fauci step in and they take a stake in getting the test to market and clean up.
True story. Law of the land.
1. He is an entrenched bureaucrat. They stay on payroll with impunity.
2. He is a celebrity.
3. If you fire him, the Democrats can send Antifa/BLM to burn down your house.
Yup. You are correct.
I had written to Rand Paul begging him to grill Fauci about this while he had him on the witness stand. He did not. I think since I don’t live in Kentucky his staff pitched my email in File 13.
