Fauci's group ran the key study on remdesivir and publicly proclaimed positive results before the results were peer reviewed and published in a medical journal. Fauci's group also developed one of the currently tested vaccines in cooperation with the drug company Moderna, which has received nearly $500 million in federal funding for its work.
One final point to illustrate the political leanings of Fauci. While he has frequently opined on what government should do, such as making Americans wear masks (after initially saying they were unnecessary), he stubbornly refused to take a public stand against the government-allowed massive protests and riots in countless cities that involved huge numbers of people in close proximity. All these mass activities are a main cause of the spreading of the COVID virus. But Fauci refused to opine that governments should have taken strong actions to prevent and limit such protests and riots.
It is hard to understand Fauci's recent public praising of New York State's handling of the pandemic on a National Public Radio interview, long after widespread condemnation of its incredibly high death rate, other than to appreciate his leftist leaning. This also illustrates the sheer ego and belief of being immune to public criticism that defines Fauci.
At the end of July 2020 it was reported that one major American politician had done the right thing. "The Ohio Board of Pharmacy withdrew a ban on dispensing the drug for treatment or prevention of COVID-19 at the request of Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican."
Soon after, in response to an open criticism by Fauci at a congressional hearing, doctors at Henry Ford Health System released a letter on the hospital's successful use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19. "Unfortunately, the political climate that has persisted has made any objective discussion about this drug impossible, and we are deeply saddened by this turn of events," they said.
If you accept the abundant evidence that hydroxychloroquine is both an effective preventive as well as a cure when prescribed by doctors at an early point, especially before hospitalization, then you begin to understand why Fauci has blood on his hands. I believe an accurate historical analysis of this pandemic will show this.
Eventually President Trump may admit that it was a big mistake to elevate Fauci by having him play such a major role in the White House activities on fighting the pandemic. He may also regret his early and open support for hydroxychloroquine, which he proudly said he had taken as a preventive action. Recently, Dr. Scott Atlas was added to the White House task force; he is widely seen as presenting wise views on how the manage the pandemic.
Meanwhile, every day more and more Americans and others globally are dying unnecessarily from COVID-19. So far Fauci has won. Made possible by the intentional actions by leftist anti-Trump mainstream media. The federal government's stockpile of hydroxychloroquine sits unused. Dr. Risch was correct in saying that Fauci has waged a "misinformation campaign" for political purposes When such a campaign costs thousands and perhaps millions of lives it is a war crime. Daniel John Sobieski concluded: "Hydroxychloroquine can save lives -- lots of lives. The question then is how many lives have been lost and will be lost due the words and actions of Dr. Anthony Fauci."
A very long, detailed letter by three physicians sent recently to Fauci concluded "It is essential that you tell the truth to the American public regarding the safety and efficacy of the hydroxychloroquine/HCQ cocktail.... Americans must not continue to die unnecessarily."
All those straining to overcome the many obstacles to easily using hydroxychloroquine must understand that until Fauci is knocked off his lofty pedestal they will continue to lose the war on the pandemic. Recently, Fauci said "a lot of death... is inconvenient." Is this an expert you want to trust?
