Well, that takes a bit of history. I can only relay what I perceive to have happened. Obviously the CDC and Fauci are two very separate entities. But what they do have in common is who funds them. And who funds them is the taxpayers, and, well, borrowed money from everywhere. I suspect that Fauci was pretty nervous about his position under Trump. I think it's possible that Trump - who was already at odds with China - was not happy about Fauci's reluctance to point the finger at Wuhan. And NOW, of course, we know why, which is that Fauci had backed Wuhan with funding. Anyway, there was a lot of friction there. When Biden was elected, Fauci probably breathed a sigh of relief and was more than happy to cozy up and support Biden's efforts to "vaccinate everybody," despite what he probably kinda knew about its long term efficacy. And Biden was more than happy to be buddies, thinking that he would go down in history as the great covid eradicator. Unfortunately, the vaccination plan isn't going so well - not because people aren't getting vaccinated - but because the virus almost IMMEDIATELY started outwitting Fauci , the government supported CDC, and by default, Biden. It was blowing though vaccinations. And they were expensive. But, nobody really wanted to admit that, because it made them look a little incompetent in front of 330 plus million people. SO, that's why he lied, or for to those of his fans, "softpeddled" the truth. Thanks!!
