Though I try to stick with taxes, politics, and economics, the recklessness and stupidity with which Anthony Fauci is directing Covid health policy can’t be ignored. One of the most incompetent and sad actions ever taken by this country has been to put Fauci in charge of messaging during this pandemic. The person in charge should have been a public health expert, someone who weighed pros and cons of pandemic decisions and made informed recommendations.
Fauci showed himself worthless for the job when, early on, he demanded lockdowns for the safety of people — but when asked if he weighed the negative health consequences of the lockdown against the negative health consequences of the virus he acknowledged he never thought of that.
He should have been fired then and there. Someone should have weighed all the health angles. If that wasn’t bad enough, not only is he ignorant as a public health expert, he is also political. How else can you explain his singling out of the South Dakota Motorway event last year as an example of a spreader event, (despite the fact that it had been held last year with minor consequences) while he hypocritically ignored events such as Obama’s birthday party and Chicago’s Lollapalooza.
