I burst into laughter when I hit #1. This article is surely long-form satire.

I'm honestly impressed with all Fauci has done with the limitations he's working with.

Transmissibility wasn't super well known early on and people were fear-hoarding everything, to include N95 masks from what I've seen -- I've seen that cited as the main "failure" on his part. Following the science and supply/demand means adapting to the situation -- I don't see too much wrong with that. Certainly far better than dying on one or another hills, but that's just my/our perspective from what we're seeing here. :))))

When he addressed this first (early March) there weren’t enough masks for HCWs. It was superseded by a CDC directive in early April. [1]

You think he did better than an average scientist would've? Name a thing he did other than provide unquantifiable "leadership."
