In my lifetime I don't remember such a polarization of public health. From masks to vaccines, there's a concentrated effort to make things a question of some sort of freedom or liberty or political stance. Do not recall people taking that sort of view about polio, or measles, etc.
Sure, there have always been small groups who resisted medical care of one sort or another, often based on religious convictions.
But I never recall wide-scale refusal to work together for a public health good like eradicating a virus that has killed millions already.
Just leaves me wondering what the hell has happened to us all that we've come to this point.
As to Fauci, I think he did the best he could when faced with a situation where the president was recommending injection of bleach.
