Most people still aren't aware of his actions and statements over the years prior to this “crisis”. He's walking a tightrope and as much as he loves his dems, he can only help them by hurting us, and many of his statements are geared towards hurting the nation long term as a whole until he is called out on them and forced to moderate his opinions.
Fauci is a bureaucrat as much as a “doctor” or “scientist.”
I don’t think we will replace one bureaucrat with bureaucratic advice focused on stopping deaths with another who will recommend a wholesale reopening of the country deaths be damned.
I don’t disagree that he appears to be friendly with people on the left, but he lives in a pretty liberal world and his peer associates are in the WHO, the UN, and government bureaucracies here in the US. Not exactly a bastion of “right thinking.”
I reflexively do not really like him. I think he has been wrong about many things since this first began. However, if I am honest, I have to admit that MANY of his peers were wrong from the beginning, the media wildly politicized all of this, political partisans have made him an “either or figure” through no fault of his own. In the end, we will never know who was wrong and who was right.
There is nothing the man could say or do that would not upset half the country seemingly. In the end, it is likely that most of the country will not like him and each of us will have our own opinion about him.
That is how I see it and I have certainly voiced my disagreements with our approach to this virus. I think we should continue to shelter and protect the elderly and vulnerable with utmost effort. However, it is time for the rest of us to return to work as we have little to fear.
You have to be a scientist to understand covid19 but any human being can understand that if you do not work you will not eat and neither will your children.
