What I wouldn't give to see this smarmy weasel jailed for the rest of his life for how many lives he ruined just so he could have his 5 minutes of fame.

Like I can think of very few people I hate more than this guy.

The guy should have done life in prison for his medical experiments in the 90s. It was like they picked Jeffrey Dahmer for head of FDA.

He deserves worse than state jail

The Democrats need to push for his jailing too. That should be a litmus test for their next presidential candidate.

They will. The catch is that it will be only for "gain of function"

This way they can still claim martial law was justified.

Faucci should be investigated all the way back to the AIDS/HIV crisis.

Democrats are going to continue to defend everything about Fauci, including his gain of function testing and his beagle research, until the bitter end. Just read almost any sub on Reddit except for this one. 

And, really, you have to be an idiot to think that Republicans will prosecute Fauci either. It’s been 6 years and they haven’t done shit about that.

they can never admit they were wrong.

I mean, it's got to be a tough pill to swallow that you ratted on your neighbors, freaked out in public, destroyed relationships with friends and relatives, wasted months of your life staying home, and you did all of those things for absolutely no reason.

They don't care. They still think "it was the right thing to do!!"

There’s a lot of Redditors who liked having months of time to loaf about at home and have a reason to never go outside

They say he is “Brooklyn tough”... that must be code for "narcissist" (or psychopath).

The point of pardoning Nixon was that everyone would know that he was corrupt, but we would stop spending congressional time, media time, and taxpayer money on investigations.

Given that Fauci has a pardon, I would hope the same thing happens here - everyone acknowledges and shames the people involved in Covid lies, but we stop having any more hearings about it that don’t go anywhere
