Getting that with Fauci. Hope I am 100% wrong. But anytime we all put 100% faith in what one guy thinks/says...my immediate reaction/nature tells me "get another and another opinion.".
Kick in the fact he's affiliated with MF45. And he seems like a showboat. Might be our 2020 "Brownie."

I can only imagine what it's like with Dipshit in charge.

(34,087 posts)I believe he thinks he is more useful public, as a whole, if he can stay in his position. So he is choosing to make very few corrections of what Trump is saying. But I think he has seriously misjudged how much faith Americans have in him - and becasue of this the harm his failure to publicly contradict Trump is doing to the country.

limelight. Geez, isn't he tired yet? He's everywhere. Liking limelight doesn't necessarily mean he's bullshitting though.

There's quite a bit about the politicizing and turf wars that went on
During that time.
Fauci does not come off well, in my memory of reading it 40 some years
ago.
Book is AND THE BAND PLAYED ON.
It was later made into a movie which did not do it full justice.

He also seems to be someone who doesnt care about the politics and rather serves the American people, not the politicans.i also dont think he'd sugar coat anything he tells the the president. He's supposedly a straight shooter. I'm a fan

(8,090 posts)Fauci has been "affiliated" with every president since Reagan. Of course he's "affiliated" with MF45 -- he's director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
