Fauci should resign tomorrow.

The Trump Campaign will not take the ad misquoting him off the air and it will do a lot of damage... not so much to Biden's campaign but to the public health. Fauci can do more good now if he is out of the White House.

that’s a decision Fauci will have to reach by himself, but it’s undoubtedly the case that he would have to partially own a Trump victory at this point.

I think there’s a calculation to be made as to whether he believes a Trump or Biden win is better for the future of American medicine.

In the overall scheme, this ad means nothing. It's not going to sway anyone and Trump isn't going to make up double digits.

He has name recognition now. The networks would be all over him for interviews. As it is, he has been gagged.

They are not listening to him, they bypass medical experts daily unless they are following the party line. I think given that he has name recognition he would be more effective outside unfiltered.

unfortunately, I see Fauci as a guy who thrives in the limelight and somehow he convinces himself staying around trump serves some type if purpose. He will stay, hence no self respect or honor

Fauci should resign and speak out. Trump and his sycophants will never let anyone contradict them.
