Should Have

 President Trump should have fired Anthony Fauci when he had the prerogative.

News has come out in the last week confirming what most conservatives suspected, that the government was up to its neck in gain of function research, subcontracting work to Chinese laboratories.

That governments do such things isn't that surprising. Doctors, generally, are invested in the welfare of people. Gain of function research is a tool for creation of vaccines that have abroad scope of effectivity. Naturally occurring viruses constantly mutate, potentially negating a vaccine's usefulness.

Like so many of President Trump's battles, this was a conflict between the common (sic) man and politician, compounded with egomania. President Trump expressed frustration with the inconsistency of Dr. Anthony Fauci. I retrospect Fauci, is more of a politician than the businessman ever was. As a politician, he has, even in combating AIDS been squirrely, a man not to be trusted.

This past week a newly retired NIH Director made public, documents that prove Fauci was involved in sponsoring gain of function research at EcoHealth.

Doctor Fauci has testified before Congress, claiming that he was unaware of any such sponsorship. He should be subject to penalties for perjury, whatever they might be. He won't, because he is a darling of the political class, the man who absorned the  brunt of complaint, deflecting complicity by our government and allowing the "reset" to proceed.

The funny thing is, if he hadn't lied, the people would have understood, at least I would.
