Rand Paul’s Amendment Would ‘Finally Force Accountability and Fire’ Fauci

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) will introduce an amendment to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci, “COVID dictator-in-chief,” accountable.

In an op-ed published by Fox News, Paul blasted Fauci for spreading misinformation about the virus.

“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.’ No one person should have unilateral authority to make decisions for millions of Americans,” Paul wrote.

He added, “To ensure that ineffective, unscientific lockdowns and mandates are never foisted on the American people ever again, I will introduce an amendment to eliminate Dr. 👤Anthony Fauci’s position as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and divide his power into three separate new institutes.”

According to Paul, each of the three institutes “will be led by a director who is appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate for a five-year term.”

He explained it 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.”

The senator argued that “no one person should have the sole authority to dictate science, especially when that one person wasn’t ever following the science.”

Paul went on to call Fauci “an unelected bureaucrat with far too much power.”
