At the same time that they're fighting vaccination and mask mandates, the Republicans are going after a public servant who has not only worked for decades to better lives and also to save them but has been willing to talk to his critics. It's shocking to see this in a pandemic, when the focus should be on working together to take whatever reasonable decisions will protect and save human beings.

But OTOH, it infuriates me how he is disparaged, disrespected, and pilloried in the media by the know-nothing assholes on the right.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has served with distinction under every U.S. president as an advisor since the Reagan administration. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom by George W, Bush in 2008.

Thank you, Dr. Fauci for your dedication to this country and for caring about your fellow citizens.

And fuck Rand Paul, Bang Bang Bobert and Marginal Trailer Queen, with Honey Locust branches, thorns included. The investigatin needs to be on those two female idiots for conspiring with Nazis and ole Randy’s trip to Moscow after his boys went July 4th. I am sure they care less now, but one Day History books Must show they attacked a world Hero, along with “All” our True History of Racist murder. Fauchi is an amazing man, saving thousands while being hammered by idiots like those three. And Fux.

chief medical advisor to the President, head of NIH, and from a friend who has a relative
who works in the sciences in France and knows Dr. Fauci personally told me that he is a
very nice guy too.

Then he probably couldn’t be a Republican. Because Republicans don’t want to help people. They don’t want to help ANYBODY (but their own not-so-sweet selves).

And they tend not to be interested in science or facts, either. Only interested in the furtherance of an agenda.
