Even if Republicans had a congressional majority, they wouldn't be able to fire Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sen. Rand Paul has a different approach in mind.
Paul added that his measure is intended to ensure “that ineffective, unscientific lockdowns and mandates are never foisted on the American people ever again,” overlooking the fact that Fauci wasn’t responsible for imposing any lockdowns or mandates on anyone. To be sure, it’s easy to roll one’s eyes at the GOP senator, and there’s no reason to believe Paul’s anti-Fauci plan will work anytime soon. Even Donald Trump couldn’t fire Fauci because the infectious disease expert is not a political appointee.
Senator Paul's proposed amendment would create three director positions that would be appointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the ...
In July 2021, Paul said that he was going to push for a criminal investigation into Fauci during a Senate hearing. At the end of his life, Galileo was kept under lock and key just for telling a scientific truth that people in power – the government – didn't want to hear," Paul said. So I would like to make something clear to the committee, he's doing this for political reasons," Fauci said. During that November hearing, Paul said that Fauci's denials were a "clear and present danger to the country and the world." The amendment would create three new director positions—one for the National Institute of Allergic Disease, one for the National Institute of Infectious Disease and one for the National Institute of Immunologic Diseases. Paul wants to eliminate Fauci's current position as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). With the amendment he is proposing, Paul aims to turn the position into three separate jobs, according to a release posted to the senator's website.
Sen. Rand Paul introduced a measure to make a repeat of Dr. Anthony Fauci "I am zee law!" lockdowns less likely with a new pandemic. And the beauty of it is ...
And the beauty of it is that it does what Founding Fathers decided was best to keep tyrants from taking over the country: Divide the government. Maybe then we’ll have a stopgap to fake science — the kind that researchers issue when they know their boss will cut off their money flow if they don’t say this, or discover that, or advise this but not that. Paul’s amendment restores the accountability to a system that has shown itself for two-plus years to be quite the opposite. It removes the ability of Fauci and any future Fauci types to be in charge of both policy and funding. “Everybody wants to put the virus behind us in the rearview mirror, which is, I think, what we should aspire to.” For selfish funding.
In hopes of preventing a repeat of lockdowns and other worse-than-useless interventions against infectious diseases, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.)
I’ve said that from the beginning, and I’ve been proven right over, and over, and over again. He highlighted irrefutable evidence of this in the form of significantly increased emergency-room visits for kids over suicide, self-harm, and mental health. “In all my years studying and practicing medicine, I had never encountered someone with the gall to proclaim himself ‘the science’ and portray anyone opposing him as ‘attacking science.’ That is, until Dr. Fauci became the COVID dictator-in-chief.” (“If Dr. Fauci says masks work, it must be true!” the fake-news fact-checkers all screamed in unison.) We were branded conspiracy theorists and anti-science for simply asking questions and presenting alternatives to what had been delivered to the American people as “fact.” “To ensure that ineffective, unscientific lockdowns and mandates are never foisted on the American people ever again, I’ve introduced this amendment to eliminate Dr. Anthony Fauci’s position as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and divide his power into three separate new institutes.”
Senator Rand Paul will introduce an amendment to eliminate Dr. Anthony Fauci's position as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ...
Kennedy makes a strong case that Fauci should have been shown the door decades ago. Anthony Fauci earned a medical degree in 1966 but if he ever practiced medicine it was only for a short time. “No one person should have unilateral authority to make decisions for millions of Americans.”
An amendment Mr Paul has offered to a pandemic prevention bill under consideration in the Senate would split NIAID into three separate institutes — one for the ...
This would potentially give senators such as Mr Paul veto power over the roles by allowing them to place “holds” on the nomination of any candidate they find unacceptable. Mr Paul’s push to eliminate Dr Fauci’s position is in line with other members of the Republican Party who have made the physician into a hate object. An amendment Mr Paul has offered to a pandemic prevention bill under consideration in the Senate would split NIAID into three separate institutes — one for the study of allergies, one for immunology, and one for infectious diseases.
In addition to a “no” vote from Murkowski, Republican Senators Richard Burr-N.C., Susan Collins-Maine, Bill Cassidy-La., Mitt Romney-Utah, and Jerry Moran- ...
“To ensure that ineffective, unscientific lockdowns and mandates are never foisted on the American people ever again, I’ve introduced this amendment to eliminate Dr. Anthony Fauci’s position as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and divide his power into three separate new institutes. Paul noted that as recently as 2012, Congress passed a law that eliminated the National Center for Research Resources and reassigned some of its programs to a new National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, and assigned other NCRR functions to other institutes within NIH. His amendment follows that precedent of reorganization, and would immediately eliminate Dr. Fauci’s position and replace it with three new directors for: At the same time, he was spotted mask-free at various public events and his pronouncements have been questioned by other experts.
