Covid rage had subsided. Then Congress called Fauci to testify. - POLITICO
19 hours ago - Republicans joined Moreno in decrying the Covid response, saying the measures Fauci encouraged had unnecessarily damaged Americans’ mental health and children’s education, and made families miss funerals and other pivotal moments in their lives. “You forced people to watch their loved ones die alone over the phone. It’s disgusting,” said Rick Scott, a Florida Republican who blamed Fauci for hospital restrictions that barred relatives from visiting family members. Democrats defended the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, thanking him for his decades-long service and for saving lives with the strictures he recommended. They accused Republicans of calling the hearing to distract from their own health policies, which they called disastrous. The nasty divide, which historians have said tracks that of prior pandemics, underscores the challenge in hoping to do better when the next pandemic hits.
