“Fauci Leaves a Broken Agency for His Successor” | Newsweek

Fauci’s office: you’re supposed to dial back on this stuff, after a while
In Newsweek, a left wing magazine! Criticism of “Saint Fauci” 

The things I have against Anthony Fauci are not his flip-flopping on things like masks, or vaccines, or schools or lockdowns (on all of which he’s held opposite views at various times). 

No, not those, bad as they are. It’s that he led the mob to silence people like Jay Bhattacharya, and the Great Barrington Declaration, that had important things to say about how to handle the pandemic, things that may have saved countless lives. Yet for the sake of a narrative that took hold early -- the lockdown narrative -- were sidelined. Fauci did that.

And for his involvement in hiding the gain-of-function research being done at the Wuhan Institute of Virology with moneys approved by Dr Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases and its budget of $US47 billion he allocated. Fauci did that.

That’s why I despise the man. Because he (very probably) was instrumental in starting the pandemic and then (not probably, but certainly) took part in suppressing debate on how to control it.
