The Facts
Former head of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Anthony Fauci is slated to testify again before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on June 3.
This will be the first time Fauci publicly has testified about the government's response to COVID since he retired almost 1.5 years ago. He will be questioned by some of his most notable critics, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Ronny Jackson (R-Tex.).
The Spin
Narrative A
Anthon Fauci has prevented thousands of doctors from speaking the truth during the pandemic. The policies he pushed for that we now know were wrong include locking down schools, wearing masks, and demonizing potentially effective treatments. If the government believed in justice, it would investigate him for his deadly failures.
Narrative B
Fauci was a hero throughout his nearly four decades at the helm of the NIAID. After beginning his career with groundbreaking work during the HIV/AIDS pandemic — which saved an estimated 25M lives globally — Fauci ended his tenure by orchestrating America's historic response to COVID. Through his push for rapid data collection and vaccine research, he guided the country through one of its darkest periods.
