Dr. Fauci and the ‘Liberty Thing’
WSJ ^ | April 15, 2021 6:38 pm ET | By James Freeman

Dr. Anthony Fauci is the government infectious disease expert who now refuses to provide his expert opinion on infectious disease. It’s a safe bet he won’t stop appearing on television—as long as polite media folk don’t demand too much transparency regarding his Covid advice. But questioned by Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) at a Thursday congressional hearing on Covid-19, Dr. Fauci simply refused to answer an appropriate question about Covid-19.

Dr. Fauci’s defenders might argue that he was simply doing his best to apply his expertise on infectious disease and that it’s not his job to notice the economic and non-Covid health problems resulting from his policies.

But there is no excuse for today’s refusal to share his expert opinion on the appropriate Covid measurement to determine when normal life can resume. Dr. Fauci spent several minutes fencing with Rep. Jordan and saying liberty could be restored when the level of infection is “low enough.” But the government doctor repeatedly refused to put a number on it.

It’s impossible to believe that Dr. Fauci hasn’t thought about this question and formed an opinion. He may be able to dodge accountability for all the non-Covid destruction. But he owes the public a straight answer to the most important question at the center of his area of expertise.

How many patients in America would tolerate this behavior from their own physicians?

I wasn’t complaining about your post. Just sick of paywalls in general.

Thanks. I saw part of the exchange between Jordan and Fauci but that was longer. What Dr. Bhattacharya says is common sense. Well informed common sense, greatly needed common sense but common sense none the less.

It is incredible to watch how the lying liars in government and the media create puppet figures like Fauci and Thornberg to browbeat everyone on a neverending basis with their utter bullschitt never-endingly, Why does this minor government bureaucrat’s opinion even matter a whit to the people of this benighted land? Yet I see his mug seemingly everywhere every single day. We truly live in a world gone mad. GOPee Delenda Est!

Roosevelt, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
Fauci, “The only thing I am is fear itself.”
