When I watched Rand Paul attempt to interrogate Fauci, I could appreciate why Fauci was taking the 5th. That was not one doctor trying to learn from another, it was an inquisition. Fauci had made it clear that if Trump won the 2020 election, that he would resign as head of infectious diseases. On the other hand, Paul had bought into the 2020 stolen election conspiracy theory.
Back when Fauci was appointed, health officials were still being chosen for their expertise, not their politics, as is the case now. Over the decades, Fauci was recognized as an expert on HIV and other diseases that challenged our nation and the world.
This current witch-hunt doesn't bode well for our country's health. If we're going to punish the qualified doctors who step forward, eventually we will be left with only snake oil pitchmen. The health structure in the current administration will not be studied in the future for its contributions.
