Fauci is scheduled to appear on Capitol Hill for the first time since his testimony before the same committee in January. In that private hearing, Fauci informed the subcommittee that the social distancing guideline of staying six feet apart was implemented without much deliberation, and that he approved all NIAID grants, both foreign and domestic, without personally examining the proposals, as reported by the committee.
In January, @COVIDSelect completed a two-day, 14-hour transcribed interview with Dr. Fauci that revealed serious, systemic failures in our public health systems.
