Otherwise there is no rational reason to excuse this behavior from a 73-year-old man

as a medical professional? We all have been saying she is an enabler for weeks and weeks now. Why did people finally give her any respect again or trust her? What changed? When did she ever redeem herself?

Walking a fine line to save the greater good from the greater evil, there are momentous historical examples - Pius XII and HITLER, the collaborators and the Nazis. There are also Lesser examples, like when the Dems are over a barrel by Repuke dirty tricks.

FAUCI looks to be still on the line, contradicting SHITLER in going to other venues, but she is giving the appearance of having succumbed.

As another DUer pointed out there's a reason why disinfectants and cleansers have child proof covers.

LOL.

Birx, you're a disgrace. Why not speak the WHOLE truth? That he just flaps his gums regardless of the truth or consequences.

by getting fired and having Ivanka take her place

Because that is Trump's plan, replace Fauci with Kushner and Birx with Ivanka

If Dr. Birx doesn’t bail out now, she won’t have any reputation left to rescue.

When asked to comment on this or that ridiculous statement he made, she could just say something like, "It's not my job to speculate," or "You'd have to ask the president about that."

And they know he's vindictive. If he fires them, he will replace them with people that help him push his quack ideas. At the same time, she can speak her truth without singing praises. Fauci does it, no reason she can't follow what he does.
