Dr. Fauci Deserves BETTER: The Senate COVID Hearings Were A STUNT | Chuck Todd Politics Podcast [ecnlC9uuAfz]
Chuck Todd argues it's deeply frustrating that so much political energy is being spent relitigating Anthony Fauci's record rather than preparing the country for the next pandemic. He makes the case that Fauci became a vessel for every frustration Americans had about COVID, when in reality he had one job — tell the public what the medical risks were — at a moment when 2,000 Americans were dying every single day. He argues we have to remember the conditions under which those decisions were actually made, works through Rand Paul's release of thousands of pages of Fauci's pandemic-era journals , and concedes the journal excerpts revealed Fauci genuinely loves media attention — but so does Rand Paul. His bottom line: relitigating COVID's origins does nothing to prepare us for the next pandemic, and Paul is undermining his own credibility in the process.
