I had an elderly female Italian patient in my office over a months ago, someone who I have known for over 20 years . I 've seen many members of her family and operated on both her eyes for cataracts. Im involved in my community to some degree. This woman and I know each other, we are friends. She came to the US after ww2 when she was like 25. SHe 's very sharp. In the course of a rambling convo about the state of the world we were discussing Fauci and I asked her why do you think Fauci is like this... she said b/c he's an Italian man! HA. So lets view the world through the lens of an 80 yo Italian-American from NYC. Maybe Fauci is at his core a traditional male chauvanist, egotist? Maybe his narcissism outdoes Trumps and even Obama's ( if thats possible) Its just that he, Fauci, like most good politicians, hides, camoflages these toxic personality disorders under layers of learned behaviors like professionalism, good manners, etc. He's not fooling us anymore. This man is a villian. He may not even realize it about himself. He may think that he's doing good. And that makes his even more dangerous. Wouldnt it be nice to have an obviously evil character strut out in plain view , like a Ming-the-Merciless type from a comic book. that would make it easy. But life is not like that. No instead we have this superficially affable avuncular elderly "doc" lying and obfuscating distorting the truth for what, money, his reputation? Does he really think that he's doing good? Maybe he really thinks that he's doing all of this for the good of humanity? that makes his one of the most dangerous people in the world
