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.

Worthless bureaucrats all.
They believe him without question. And when give examples his contradictions?
They tell me its because this is an evolving virus and pandemic and we learn new things each day. Naturally, his answers would change as we learn.
What can you say to that? Heroes are never wrong and those who challenge them are never right.
To them, its obvious: Trump is never right about anything and hes especially wrong about all things Covid.
But Fauci is always right, even when hes demonstrably wrong.
Good luck separating those emotions and fears from facts and reality.
Fear knows its right and emotions wont let you forget it.
Fauci will be fired at the time of Trumps choosing.
And so will Faucis boss. And hopefully many others.
Ask you ‘liberal’ friends how they feel about the Democrats in Congress voting to keep the war going in Afghanistan ..
Slightly off topic I know but you can open their eyes if you hit them with that one...
I predict they will change the subject or rattle off some memorized talking points about Russia or something.
I asked one friend who claims to have voted for both parties if he ever actually listened to Rush Limbaugh after telling me that Rush was a racist and a bigot and a homophobe, etc. and should never have been honored the way he was.
Once or twice, he told me, but he couldnt stand him. Uh huh ... sure. Thats why his opinion is the exact wording of every other demonrats opinion about Rush. Word for word, the exact same phrase.
My liberal family members are the same way and use the exact same phrases about any political subject anyone brings up.
Theyre very well programmed. Thinking is only for defending the cult beliefs of the moment and whatever hill their cult tells them to stand on.
Keep chipping away :)

We have several neighbors like that. They almost always have their facts wrong and live in complete fear of of this virus. Even presenting them with current facts or actual scientific studies or data does no good. They are repelled like Dracula presented with a cross. Everyone must wear a mask has become their life mantra. They "believe in every word" Fauci says even when shown he contradicts himself constantly.
It really is bizarre behavior for otherwise intelligent people. The delusion is strong.
