Fauci is a sociopath; The writing on the wall has been there a long time;

As you point out, he (and everyone else) is only used until expending them is more advantageous;

It's the destiny of the parasites and cockroaches - they all eventually eat their own (sort of like the Sith);

They all know this when they sign up, but always believe it'll never happen to them;

Then there are those who "can't" believe it'll ever happen to them..... because they're sociopaths;

The distraction cycle continues, ever serving as cover for something else.
