COVID-19: America Needs Closure, but Fauci Says No

Victor Davis Hanson nailed it: Dr. Anthony Fauci’s dramatic fall from grace—rooted in his own flaws—is a modern play in the style of an ancient Greek tragedy.  

Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and top adviser to Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump, pleaded his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 111 times during a July 29 Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee inquiry into his pivotal role in the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The man who claimed to “represent science” and boasted that he would be happy to testify before any congressional oversight committee remains defiantly silent.

On Aug. 6, during a second contentious committee session, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., introduced a resolution to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress for his refusal to respond to their questions.

Another high-profile Fifth Amendment performance—a refusal to answer serious and outstanding questions on matters that have directly affected the public—will only further tarnish Fauci’s reputation.

Biden is partially to blame for this mess.

Biden pardoned Fauci for “any offenses” that he “may have committed or taken part in” from Jan. 1, 2014, through Jan. 19, 2025, Biden’s last full day in the White House. As we have........
