Fauci’s actions during the AIDS crisis can easily be explained when one notices all his actions were designed to increase funding for NIH. Much of his actions during COVID have the same objective.
That isn’t necessarily mean that Fauci is an evil man. He, like most virologists, are continually in fear of another Spanish Flu like outbreak and believe their funding should be increased to save lives should that outbreak occur.
Yes he is an evil man.
Those in DC that get the biggest budget increase gets invited to the best parties and ceremonies.
