People are so blinded by their hatred of Trump and MAGA it allows a man like Fauci to be defended. The reason for so many hearings is that each time they have happened new evidence has been discovered which casts doubt on Faucis previous testimony.
In this case, his own private diary and emails, which had been subpoenaed, directly contradicted advice he gave to the public and to government officials during the pandemic so he was called back in. They also painted a disturbing picture of his behaviour even prior to Covid, where he was using government employees to solicite awards which often included a cash prizd. If you want to defend large cash awards to public figures from foreign companies go for it.
The reality is that anyone who has followed these hearings with an ounce of objectivity would see him for what he is. A man of almost limitless narcissism, obsessed by his own growing fame and adolation within the media. Prior hearing show a man desperate to squash any discussion on the origins of Covid that could lay blame as his feet.
Did Covid originate from the lab which studied noval respiratory Coronavirus in Wuhan? It may have, it may have not. But we can’t even collectively agree that Fauci tried to cover up the possibility of that, then the basic conditions do not exist to even begin an intelligent discussion.
You're blinded by your own incredible super-power to not only make assumptions on what people believe but also what someone is based on a narrow tract of information you form-fit to suit your own very, very strident prejudices. He was asked his professional opinion, he offered them and said repeatedly he was open to changing them if new evidence came to light.
IF he is covering something up, intelligent people will know that he is PART of a larger scale issue and group. Of course, until there are facts all you have is assumption.
You want an 'intelligent discussion' do some research into the history if bio weapons (beyond Annie Jacobsen's book which is also very good) and try hard to understand that one man is not behind everything.
BTW, did you pull the info from your post from the link in my post?
Another ASSUMPTION on your part is this word 'defending'. All I am interested in pointing out is that Fauci was not afraid of a few 'soundbites' but was legitimately concerned about the partisan behaviour towards him from Rand Paul and others. IF he is part of some cover-up like you say, it hasn't just come from him!!
Still, at least you admitted it is personal and that you see the man as some sort of Bono in his field (haven't seen the guy's name for a while personally, not the behaviour of a 'limitless narcissist')...the next time you use a single opinion piece as the basis of a post, credit them. In this case it was this one wasn't it?!!!
Nothing wrong with opinion pieces, but they are not news pieces.

Finally, among the many pieces being written about this, I found this interesting.
People slagging him off for noting in a personal diary what that level of fame and attention brings have no idea what it would be like. He expresses a degree of wide-eyed fascination, but he also expresses discomfort at the absurdity of it all. It would be a very natural reaction from someone decidedly not in a spotlight of that nature beforehand. Criticism of him based on that is just petty.
