In response to The hounding of Tony Fauci shows Trump’s ugly America

Fauci has questions to answer

Professor Dwyer’s staunch defence of Anthony Fauci (August 5, 2026), is breathtaking in the questionable assumptions put forward, particularly in relation to the ‘gain-of-function’ research and proximal origins of the virus.

A long-standing, professional relationship with Fauci should not result in uncritical assessment of his decision making process. Labelling sections of the scientific community that questioned parts of that process as ‘ignorant and vindictive’ is utterly indefensible.
