Will the White House fire Fauci because of his countless missteps on the Coronavirus?

This may be some great news at last:

White House seeks to discredit Fauci amid coronavirus surge

[emtb2rn, BSN, RN, EMT-B]

Great how? No argument that Dr fauci’s comments & statements on covid have evolved over time. However, his overall predictions & recommendations have proven to be concrete.

I know from previous posts that your plan is to let the virus run rampant, allow an unknown number of people (certainly a higher number than now) & then a miracle occurs & the virus vanishes.

Your continuing denial of science as a healthcare “professional” is disturbing & made worse by your glee at trump undercutting fauci to score political points. You did read the article right? And you have no concerns that discrediting public health officials sows confusion in the general public?

The public health "experts" discredited themselves through their countless flip-flops and outright lies to the public. Fauci lives in a bubble where we in the public are nothing more than lab rats, so to speak. Just data points on some mathematical equation. We don't have the desire to feed our families, to be happy, to truly live. Just survive in a dreary Bubble Boy-style existence for the rest of our lives, too scared to not let this Corona ruin our lives. Fauci and his cult followers should go quarantine themselves forever and leave those who don't care alone.

The first disease Dr. Fauci discovered a cure for was vasculitis—an inflammation of the blood cells that often occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own blood vessels. vasculitis patients suffered from rare inflammatory diseases, such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis, which damages blood vessels in the lungs, kidneys, and other organs. The disease was almost always fatal until he discovered how to treat it.

Dr.Fauci [and his team] followed by discovering treatments for lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and transplant rejection. My sister-in-law in her 90s developed Lupus in her teens. Thank's to Dr. Fauci's discoveries she is an active lady volunteering at a food bank and t her church helping younger people deal with the "Virtual Church Service" technology. Her mother died of it at age 54.

I recently heard Magic Johnson say on TV, "I would have been dead long ago if not for Dr. Fauci."

In 1981 when P.carinii (now called Pneumocystis Jiroveci) was first identified in individuals with a weakened immune system, certain recurring facts were noted. Those who were diagnosed with PCP were:

hemophiliacs, who received blood transfusions

homosexual men,

heroin users, and people who used drugs via injection

Haitians or people of Haitian origin,

Fortunately, the world peoples did not chastise the "flip-flopping" scientists who were able to use these co-occurrences to discover the real cause of the AIDS epidemic. Yes, it is a characteristic of the scientific process to continually investigate the proof of their hypotheses and develop the resulting body of knowledge. We as a world people accepted in the 1980s, scientists could provide further clarity on the the found circumstances noted above and how they factored into the acquisition of HIV. Through those scientific investigations, effective treatments were developed and further work on the development of a vaccine continues. Surely, that willingness to grow our world knowledge base, from new discoveries did not stop in the 1980s. Funny, us older lot seem more accepting of new scientific information than those who usually think of us as old fuddy-duddies.

Talk is cheap. Unless Fauci shows up with some cure for this Corona I could care less what he has to say. All he does is go on CNN and bloviate on how we ought to live our lives. Not listening to his rants any more.

White House is unable to fire Dr Fauci since a Senior Executive under Civil Service regulations-- can only remove him from the Corona Task Force. Karen

Can President Trump Fire Dr. Fauci?

Quote

There is no question that President Trump can remove Dr. Fauci from the Task Force – there is nothing preventing him from doing so. But, can he simply fire Dr. Fauci for expressing an opinion he doesn’t agree with?

The answer is: “No.”

Dr. Fauci is a career member of the Senior Executive Service (SES), a position classification created by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, and which went into effect under President Carter. Under Federal law, he can be fired if he is found to have engaged in “misconduct, neglect of duty, malfeasance, or failure to accept a direct reassignment or to accompany a position in a transfer of function”, is or to be “less than successful [in his] executive performance.”.

However, prior to being terminated for performance or conduct, Dr. Fauci must be given the due process protections offered by 5 U.S.C. § 7543(b), which provides that he is entitled to:

• at least 30 days’ advance written notice, unless there is reasonable cause to believe the employee has committed a crime for which a sentence of imprisonment may be imposed, stating the specific reasons for the proposed action;
• a reasonable time, but not less than 7 days, to answer orally and in writing and to furnish affidavits and other documentary evidence in support of the answer;
• be represented by an attorney or other representative; and
• a written decision and the specific reasons therefor at the earliest practicable date.

Trump doesn't need to fire him. Trump can give him a reassignment where he won't be able to do any more damage.

More propaganda, I see. Tiresome.

Imagine thinking Fauci a liar or incompetent with Trump's dishonest and incompetent example directly in your face 24/7. Talk about a Trump Derangement Syndrome, holy crap.

Opinion: Trump’s rage at Fauci just boomeranged back on him

...Attacks on Fauci backfire on Trump

Even the effort to cast doubt on the substantive accuracy and judgment behind Fauci’s statements boomerangs on Trump. For instance, the document circulated to reporters highlights a Feb. 29 statement from Fauci that “at this moment, there is no need to change anything you’re doing on a day-to-day basis.”

But the document left out Fauci’s subsequent comment in that interview that “this could change” if we “start to see community spread,” requiring far more action, and that the coronavirus could become “a major outbreak.” That’s exactly what did happen, and it’s precisely what Trump denied for so long....

...In drawing attention to all this, Trump’s advisers have reminded us that all these things — communicating with the public in good faith about an urgent matter; learning from new information even if it sheds unflattering light on earlier conduct; prioritizing public health over Trump’s perceived short-term political interests — are precisely what Trump himself will not do....
