like rump who is actually an idiot, you tell the idiot to muzzle the smart people in the organization if said smart people are working against your goal, as Fauci is.

The goal is to kill us so Fauci has to shut up.

CNN MSNBC...a sit-down interview with NYT/WP...and "scream" what he knows as loud as he can...Fauci is one of the leading infectious disease authorities in the world and he has allowed himself to be shoved aside and muzzled....it's time to take back his dignity and reputation and denounce the orange maggot and his minions...

Mostly in video conferences with other doctors.

His statements to the doctors have been quoted widely by the media over the past few weeks.

I ask in seriousness without knowing the answer.

Is it because Fauci works for federal agency that ultimately falls under the purview of the Executive Branch, and because of this, the Exec can 'say' when & whether the subordinates speak? So does Fauci then simply risk his 'job' if he talks?

What's the leverage that donnie-t exerts?

That would do more to help beat covid than anything.
The "task force" is a joke. And oh yeah, what happened to operation "warp speed"?
