Kentucky Senator Rand Paul announced on Monday that he would be introducing an amendment in the Senate that would effectively strip Dr. Anthony Fauci of all the dictatorial power over public health decisions he has taken for himself:
Rand Paul wants to put a stop to Fauci's power trip and make sure that nothing like that can ever happen again.
From Fox News:
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Monday introduced an amendment that would eliminate Dr. Anthony Fauci's position as the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and decentralize it, so that no one person can act as "dictator-in-chief" in the name of public health, the senator said.
Paul's amendment would reorganize NIAID by breaking it down into three separate national research institutes, all with their own director, including the National Institute of Allergic Diseases, the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, and the National Institute of Immunologic Diseases.
"We've learned a lot over the past two years, but one lesson in particular is that no one person should be deemed ‘dictator-in-chief,'" Paul said in a statement announcing the amendment. "No one person should have unilateral authority to make decisions for millions of Americans."
"This will create accountability and oversight into a taxpayer funded position that has largely abused its power, and has been responsible for many failures and misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic," he said.
Each of the three institutes proposed by Paul would be led by a director who is appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate for a 5-year term.
This amendment would prevent a lifelong bureaucrat from gaining power the way Fauci has. It would allow the Senate to approve the position, giving more power to the voters, and would decentralize the position, splitting it into three different jobs, so that one person, like a Fauci, cannot claim all the power for himself.
"I've been a physician for over 33 years," Paul wrote in a piece Monday for Fox News Digital. "In all my years studying and practicing medicine, I had never encountered someone with the gall to proclaim himself ‘the science' and portray anyone opposing him as ‘attacking science.' That is, until Dr. Fauci became the COVID dictator-in-chief."
"The biggest lesson we have learned over the last two years is that no one person should have this much unchecked power," he wrote. "And my amendment, which will get a vote this week, will finally force accountability and fire Dr. Fauci."
The "Fire Fauci" crowd may finally have their wishes fulfilled as Rand Paul, Fauci's biggest political rival, is taking action against the wannabe Covid dictator.
Given that the Senate and House are both Democrat-controlled it doesn't seem likely that this amendment will come to fruition, but November elections are just around the corner!
