The NIH and its budget are fully dependent on this type of obsequious behavior. Tony Fauci has played this game for half his life. That said, he is almost certainly is a Democrat, like 95% of people who work at the NIH.
That explains why the CDC was not prepared for this crap and they didn’t have a contingency plan ready to put into action on day one. Just another bunch of liberals sucking the governments tit and doing nothing.
After watching that clown Tony Fauci’s face while POTUS was speaking should be more than enough to have him removed from his position. His rolling his eyes and smirking while standing there showed exactly how unprofessional and juvenile he is.
Maybe his own budget too as his net worth is estimated at 500 million.
I wonder if he also recently sold a huge amount of stocks.
