Completely agree with you that Bertagnoli is a bad choice, but she is not replacing Fauci. Although she is a Fauci clone who received his imprimatur, Bertagnoli has been nominated to be director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), not the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) subagency that Fauci headed. The prior director of the NIH that Bertagnoli will replace was Francis Collins, who headed the Human Genome Project before he was kicked upstairs by Obama in 2008 to be Director of the NIH. Fauci stayed at NIAID because he knew he would have more real power there than as the Director of the entire agency. Fauci controlled a vast research budget at NIAID that he could use to covertly manipulate scientific "consensus" around his crackpot theories. Bertagnoli will be more of an administrator but will still be able to inflict irreparable harm on the medical profession. Collins had a good heart that was corrupted over time. Bertagnoli is starting out as a corrupt servant of Big Pharma who will further undermine trust in medical science.
