Of course he is wrong but *even if he were right* look at how he describes it, as a close call kind of thing that involved weighing the "deleterious consequences" of school closures against assorted second-order health concerns like Long Covid in kids...

Um, NONE of that was tone while it was happening. Instead we got "quick and devastating" takedowns of the Great Barrington Declarations, "follow the Science" and if you didn't everyone was going to die. This is all so ridiculously dishonest.

Fauci epitomizes the situation for so many "leaders" who made profound errors in judgement, failed to adjust based on reality as new information became available, and continued to pronounce their initial assessments as forever correct. Whether it be arrogance, fear of losing control acquired over large segments of the population, or more heinous attributes, Fauci and those like him will never admit their mistakes for fear of civil, criminal, and above all reputational legacy risks. Thank you, Vinay Prasad, for your part in holding them accountable.
