Protect Dr. Fauci - Congress should act to ensure that directors of the various parts of the National Institutes of Health—of whom Anthony Fauci is one—cannot be fired for dissenting from the president’s views.

Thanks for answering honestly and without attacking me.

Well, he’s done more than any other person who has appeared at presidential press conferences lately. He’s managed to convince Trump that this is a fairly significant threat.

That is indeed a good thing.

I think virtually everything Trump has done so far has been horrendous or too late. I do often wonder though did he deep down know we're fucked and was trying to keep people calm? People kept saying it was the economy over lives, but what if it was also civil unrest? Us humans can adjust to almost everything over time. You drop 100-200k expected dead back in early-February, people would have gone nuts. Runs on stores. Looting. Etc.

Just my 2cents.
