Fauci has never deflected questions like Brix and has never fawned on his boss like she had. He explains the claims lack evidence, and does not attempt to change the topic as Brix does.

Funny you should say that, because he was criticized several times right here on BoingBoing for just that:

I have no one left to trust in the government.

Watch White House Coronavirus official Dr. Birx suck up to Dear Leader obsequiously

Sometimes it’s hard to know whether these people are ass-kissing because they are actual Trump cultists, opportunists trying to get ahead, craven government workers just trying to hang onto their jobs, or health professionals cutting a Faustian (Fauci-an?) bargain because they think staying in Trump’s good graces is their best shot at being able to remain in a position where they might actually be able to help people.

Trump mocks hospitals' 'insatiable appetites' for coronavirus medical supplies

He does not understand these are disposable items. Masks are not issued like guns and used only when necessary. The Gowns, gloves and face shields are constantly discarded and disposed, not saved and re-used Ideally all are disposed of after contact with EACH patient according to Standard Precautions. I wish Fauci would bring this up at a presser.
