WASHINGTON -- ‘The National Academy of Sciences is presenting its 2021 Public Welfare Medal to scientist, physician, and public health leader Anthony Fauci for his “decades-long leadership in combatting emerging infectious diseases, from the AIDS crisis to the COVID-19 pandemic, and being a clear, consistent, and trusted voice in public health.” The medal is the Academy's most prestigious award, established in 1914 and presented annually to honor extraordinary use of science for the public good.’

This guy funded bat corona virus research in Wuhan.
“Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the coronavirus task force, had previously backed funding for a controversial lab in Wuhan, China, that has been studying the coronavirus in bats, reports said.”
He played down Hydroxychloroquine while calling Remdesivir “promising.” He didn’t mention vitamin D for months. He didn’t think masks were important until they were (based on no science).
Anthony Fauci is just like any other career bureaucrats or, say, many others in today's journalism industry or entertainment business. -- No principles except only obeying the feeding hands + following the hands' orders.
Thing is (I know it's an archaic or a naive take but) bureaucrats are supposed to demonstrate neutrality in political affairs, to administer the rules without bias, and to be the guardians of their nation's constitutional principles. I've met some who still believe + follow that mantra, but for sure witnessed many who treat said mantra like a lost art.
So, who are the feeding hands here?
Maybe, the Chinese guy in the middle of this picture who has been in spending frenzy on the US academia and IT industry? No. Ask yourself. Which factions were capable of setting up the meeting shown on said picture? Especially even with contacting those so called big tech heads at the very last-minute? Which factions were capable of shutting out Bo Xilai, then having sponsored Xi Jinping financially and politically? And what was going on in 2015? -- This is a fun little rabbit hole.
Tidbits:
Fauci attended the Jesuit Regis High School in Manhattan's Upper East Side, and in 1968, Fauci joined the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a clinical associate in the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
In 1984, he arrived at the NIAID director position. There, he played a significant role in driving development of biodefense drugs and vaccines following the 9/11.
