Not one Democratic senator asked Fauci a single question at the hearing.

That's the real story. Not what Fauci said or didn't say. It's that half the country still doesn't see anything wrong with letting one man wield the kind of power he did over health decisions for an entire nation.

There should be two red lines coming out of it: no gain-of-function research, period. And your rights can't be contingent on the opinion of a public health official. No mandates. Persuade people on the merits or don't get their compliance at all.

"How are they going to admit then that they might have been wrong? They'll never do that because it will destroy their credibility."
