"You've worked with seven presidents. You know what the job entails. Why would someone in their 80s want to do another four years of this?" Dr. Fauci seemed to be taken off guard.
Once again, political considerations blocked Dr. Fauci's medical judgement.
Gov. Cuomo had argued that New York was following federal guidelines when he ordered long-term care facilities to accept patients returning from hospitals, and the CNN host wondered if Dr. Fauci could clarify that claim.
Dr. Fauci Tenured Bureaucrat In 1966, Anthony Fauci earned a medical degree from Cornell but in 1968 he took a job with the National Institutes of Health.
Nobel laureate Kary Mullis, inventor of the polymerase chain reaction, believed that Fauci "Should not be in a position like he's in." Dr. Fauci declined the offer of President George W. Bush to head the National Institutes of Health, which would have imposed a limited term.
As NIAID boss, Dr. Fauci controlled public health policy and spending on medical research, a huge concentration of power.
A ballpark figure for the number of patients Dr. Fauci treated during the pandemic is zero, and his reluctance to render a post-debate medical opinion on Joe Biden was entirely political.
