Part 2/7:
Fauci, the former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, often found himself in the media spotlight during the pandemic. His repeated appearances on television were, according to critics, a distraction from the urgent need for data-driven decision-making. Many have expressed discontent with his leadership, suggesting that he “botched” the pandemic response rather than guiding the country effectively.
The recent pardon by President Biden has created a complex legal and ethical landscape. By extending pardons for federal crimes, many are left questioning what it implies for state-level accountability. The question emerges: if Fauci was not held accountable federally, would states feel emboldened to investigate his actions and the associated consequences?
