Tony Fauci was shaken by the politicization he saw in the Congressional response to the #Zika crisis. It was foreshadowing of things to come. @statnews.bsky.social's Jason Mast reports on some of the takeaways of Fauci's book, out Tuesday. www.statnews.com/2024/06/16/a...

The protestors should have put up a sign reading “ELEMENTARY SCHOOL—LONE GUNMAN INSIDE” which I hear is very effective in Texas at keeping cops off the property for hours.
