Anthony Fauci criticized in new opinion piece on US COVID‑19 response

Two opinion articles argue that the United States' COVID‑19 response was mishandled, blaming Dr. Anthony Fauci and the broader medical establishment for decisions they deem wrong. The pieces cite Senator Rand Paul’s criticism and claim that lockdowns did not save lives, pointing to states like Florida that reopened early without higher death rates. They also accuse teachers unions of delaying school reopenings and suggest that the media, including outlets such as The New York Times and CNN, were biased in favor of Fauci and against former President Donald Trump. The authors call for accountability and an apology from the media for what they describe as a "fiasco".

The articles present a series of take‑aways, urging that future public‑health actions should not infringe on constitutional rights, should avoid prolonged economic shutdowns, and should scrutinize the influence of unions and media narratives.
