AAQ,
He has been the director for almost 40 years.
He is no more in his peak power now than 40 years ago.
He is behaving like a 81 year old who has decided he doesn’t need the lies and ignorance that the trumplican party has given him the past 2 years.
He is not afraid of testifying to congress.
He can testify for weeks and make fun of all the congressmen and senators who think they know better than him.
None of them have dealt with infectious diseases for 40 years. They can talk all they want but it’s just a show for the cameras for them.
I am sure Dr Fauci wants that the next person in his position will follow in his footsteps that he paved for 40 years. Who wouldn’t?
The question really is when will the trumplican party wake up and decide that they need to listen to science?
