Can you imagine a man of Dr. Fauci's intellect biting his tongue to keep his job just to keep us all safe?
Ty Dr. Fauci!
Happy Holidays!

(42,770 posts)inserting sarcasm. But it's all about POV and get that. His "biting his lip" letting FG hide covid from the public early on caused my dad to die. So there's that.
But understand that people who weren't affected like that might think he helped in an undercover way so that FG didn't do anything worse.
Carry on

(57,073 posts)No. I meant Fauci held his tongue to keep his job in an effort to influence policy as much as he could with tfg at the helm.

(42,770 posts)would have caused more than 140k lives lost. That's how many people can be directly attributed to him. And the House Committee just issued their report that they have proof that trump deliberately withheld life saving measures and lied about the virus. So in my book anyone who remained silent is guilty too.

(57,073 posts)But Fauci was playing the long game, imo, likely knowing even if he told everything he knew, nothing would happen to change the murderous slob's behavior or unseat him from power.

(42,770 posts)of the system. Likely never ever before did he dream that a president would deliberately harm people. So that gets a minor pass. He was used to advising not leading?
But if only he had realized early on and warned people lots would be alive today. At least the other doctor had the insight and self reflection to say his silence would haunt him for some time
