Not really. Trump and the policy wonks had to lean heavily on the public health guys and the CDC. I think Fauci has hurt the CDC's credibility badly. I also worry about American response to the next pandemic.

Speaking to the next pandemic response…if you had asked me 2 years ago, I would have predicted 3-6 week shutdowns to be a part of life going forward… Once or twice a decade there would be some new virus that we would proactively shutdown for rather than wait. Now? I’m not so sure. It may come down to who is in office , but I think if you had some virus now that the Government said warranted a shutdown, I think you would see what an insurrection really looked like…

Chaser:
Durbin has COVID, experiencing minor symptoms
Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill.), the No. 2 Senate Democrat, said on Sunday that he has tested positive for COVID-19 for a second time in the past year.
“This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. Thankfully, I am fully vaccinated and boosted and only experiencing minor symptoms,” Durbin said on Twitter.
“I will quarantine consistent with CDC guidelines and follow advice from my doctor while I continue to work remotely,” the Senate majority whip added.
The senator also tested positive for the virus back in July 2022, just a week after President Biden contracted COVID-19. -

That's not really a fair comparison. Fauci knew more than he presented.

It's not. The cover up of the dangers of tobacco was way more egregious and despicable than anything Fauci did.

I still don’t believe that his view on masks ever evolved, but they felt they needed to give people something to believe in at the time, and for whatever reason masks worked.
One can debate whethe public manipulation was necessary or if it caused more harm than good, but you can’t really argue that it wasn’t manipulation of the public…

It's also not as bad as the V for Vendetta fanatics made it out to be.
If government is just manipulation, news is just manipulation and media is just manipulation, you might as well grab some tinfoil because that mentality is just as ridiculous as the woke's "everything is power" narrative.

Back then, the government wasn't expected to protect you from everything.
It was OK for a company to make profit a priority.
It's hard to believe, but there were some companies who didn't have social justice and the environment as their top priorities.

It's hard to believe, but there was a time when hard-working and industrious companies were able to sell paint chips as crackers.
