How is Anthony Fauci related to this? He headed the NIAID, not the USDA.
- Blackthorn 2y agoAre you really going to try to say that the absurd levels of bile, vitriol, and threats that he received for doing his job during a pandemic has zero knock-on effect for other public health officials?

- CrossVR 2y agoWoah, I'm not sure how you got that from my comment. It was a genuine question since OP made it seem as if Dr. Fauci had played some role in the USDA's handling of the H5N1 epidemic. In fact I was concerned OP was trying to pin yet another conspiracy on him.
- guhidalg 2y agoI remember in 2020 how a career public servant, colleague to those in USDA, was contradicted by the president because it made the administration's COVID response look bad. Recently, the US president has decided he doesn't want to protect his public servant's lives anymore https://apnews.com/article/fauci-trump-security-detail-4b2e317dc9e7768c0571df30750e863a https://apnews.com/article/fauci-trump-security-detail-4b2e3...
- ggm 2y agoAs others note, its the public health aspect of being a voice for science and reason, against the political backlash and death threats. I did not mean to imply USDA and NIAD related, except in needing public health policy people making decisions and statements in the public eye.
