Biden’s preemptive Fauci pardon generates fresh conspiracies

Dr. Anthony Fauci , who directed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the peak of the Covid pandemic, has come to be a living symbol of what they see as the evils of the scientific establishment and the U.S. response to the virus.

Frida Ghitis: Biden 's last-minute pardon is being interpreted among Covid conspiracy theorists and in some corners of the mainstream right as an admission of guilt.

She suggested in an Inauguration Day press release that Congress and Paul would continue their war against Fauci : “ One of the things that’s positive here is that because he has been preemptively pardoned, he will not be able to assert a 5th Amendment protection in Congress when he is going to be investigated,” she said. “There’s no question that Senator Rand Paul , in particular, has every intention of going forward to investigate this man.”.
