I remember a few things about the pandemic. I remember that the Obama admin had constructed a detailed playbook after the first SARS crisis, and the Trump admin ignored it. I remember the shortages of PPE and Kushner advising delivering only to red states, because blue states weren't our people. I remember that there were early warning systems in place until Trump dismantled them. And I suspect that the Woodward tapes you mention hold a lot of things that I've forgotten. Moreno trotting out the F bomb to show his fury was so juvenile. Johnson's performative stupidity (I admit I've only seen clips - I wouldn't watch these clowns if you paid me) makes my fillings ache. Fauci's words at the beginning were dead accurate. His lawyer getting tossed was probably planned just to emphasize that the whole thing was performative nonsense. Here's hoping there aren't another 8 or 10 hearings like the Benghazi crap that Hillary went through. Real oversight is important, but it's not on the menu with these twits.
Yes. You absolutely nailed what Dr. Fauci’s “hearing” was about. I am impressed with your stamina and insight. You dive into the most terrible waters and come up alive and thriving and with an excellent essay in your hand. Boy you write a beautifully analyzed essay. Thank you for your work.
I worked with Dr. Fauci at the NIH during the AIDS epidemic: I have never worked, before or since, with a doctor as humble, brilliant, and generous as him. What they are doing to him is appalling, literally takes my breath away. . .
How truly terrible it must be to watch someone you so respect to be so thoroughly disrespected Alice. 💔Keep the faith…in my books the Doc is head and shoulders the man those questioning him will ever be. 🙌🏻
The reprehensible behaviour from the GOP making international news and I can confirm that we are all disgusted with yesterday’s display. 🇨🇦How on earth are these people ever elected to hold political office!!
Doc Fauci’s work helped save not only millions of American lives but millions of lives full stop. Someone commented that they consider him the hero of the pandemic….this Canadian can corroborate that this is not just an American sentiment.
What a miserable bunch. My heart aches for Dr. Fauci. I personally consider him the hero of the pandemic. Without him, many more would have died. As an aside, I would like to know if any of the Republicans leading this circus, and their families, were vaccinated.
Pardon my French, but the best description of yesterday’s hearing is this: it was a total sh*t show. Thank you, again, for including the perverse philosophy of Roy Cohn, Trump’s trusty mentor of many years. Trump learned and has implemented Cohn’s strategies again and again, much to the demise of our country.
What disgraceful, unprincipled bullies these politicians are. Does this situation require a modern-day Joseph Welch to ask them the simple question "Have you no sense of decency ....."

Hillary weathered TEN GOP-led inquisitions which came up with the same result: NADA.
Well hell I think Fauci Saved all our asses!

Seconding that 🙋♀️
Ongoing, useless war with Iran. Look over there, Fauci!

Generally that’s the deduction from shortly after the get-go ..appauling hoax…going down with historic consensus..even they know it..
There needs to be a moral reckoning and a Nuremburg tribunal when the Democrats regain power.

Well explained - thank you.
