Dr. Fauci is a longtime public servant who served with integrity under President Trump and has resumed leadership in the Biden Administration in handling the Covid epidemic. Congress, no doubt understandably, may have little appetite for hauling him over the coals for the apparent lapse of judgment in funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan.
Fauci did not serve with integrity, he served to pad his bank account with little concern about keeping people safe and healthy. So, there was no lapse in judgement either, it was just another way to further pad his bank account.
i see your point and agree that fauci seems to be a bad apple.
now that i look, wade is a nyt journalist. he happens to be the science editor, but still.
i got a reference to this article from a kaiser permanente article. oh, well.
