It is widely known that matriculation in government jobs is through seniority. You stay long enough and you’re in charge. Look at the morons running the DMV. When has Fauci seen a patient? What makes him an “expert”? I’m not a doctor, so I feel sure he knows much more than I do, but I’m not sure he knows any more about this than Marcus Welby MD. I also think he’s a shill for Big Pharma.
Fauci actively sought out the public spotlight as aggressively as any Hollywood starlet. Magazine covers, human interest stories, first pitches, and interviews, interviews, INTERVIEWS.
Anyone who is in the public spotlight can tell you that it’s impossible to please everyone and that a substantial portion of the public is simply not going to like you. Whatever you do is GOING to be criticized.
The group that dislikes you will include a certain percentage of cranks, stalkers, and dangerous psychos. So nearly everyone in the public eye gets threats.
And when you take controversial positions the amount of negative blowback you receive increases exponentially.
All of that apparently comes as a surprise to this man who is allegedly brilliant.
