Poor bastard made an account in order to write this?

It's now open season on disinformation about one NIH dude, as if he's the evil mastermind of virology. Coming to theatres near you.

He is or has been the largest advocate and instigator of a (one) medical philosophy of "the ends justify the means" in the U.S.A and beyond. He believes that old methodologies and ethics of hypothesis falsification and "first do no harm" respectively are holding back advances in treatment and prevention that could see improvements in outcomes orders of magnitude greater than what is available today.

It is a form of critical theory progressivism that runs afoul of accepted medical (and many private citizens, besides) ethics which itself rejects utilitarianism outright. An important note, however, is that many (perhaps the majority of under 40's), would agree with Fauci's ideas if asked cursorily.

Fauci is under the magnifying glass by such as Rand Paul because Fauci's -ideas- make it likely that his actions are wrong and/or evil and anecdotal evidence of his -actions- give weight to that concern.

    Oh no, totally: Rand (and others like him) main thrust is that Fauci's actions were careless and negligent, whether or not they were directly responsible.

    It's hard to unpack and separate a politicians nuances of what they are really trying to say from the "News Show" Infotainmentization of everything by almost all media - but also their own rhetoric. Just how much should someone like Rand allow his messages to be repackaged so he can get them across to the public?
