This column speaks to me loudly. My husband died of the effects of covid and its destructive effect on his neuromuscular system. When I have mentioned this to medical personnel they have waved it aside as something that is already known, but if it's so well-known why haven't we been more proactive in controlling it?

Dr Fauci is a hero & Health Secy RFK Jr is a dangerous nut job spreading anti-science falsehoods & misinformation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VblRI0suQuM

Trump admin's corruption & incompetence is beyond shocking. If Trump’s corrupted DOJ can use fake evidence to frame any critic… https://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/npr/nx-s1-5886263/she-protested-ice-raids-then-agents-showed-up-at-her-door

He's got to go. Then the entire administration needs to be scrubbed out.

We are entering the dark ages of medical treatment here in the US. Doctors may as well wear long masks with pointed noses for all the stupids listen to them. I do not know when so many began to believe that they know more than doctors. So many mothers are willing to risk the lives and well being of their children in addition to those children who are medically unable to be vaccinated. We have become a third world nation in regard to measles. Autism may have a cause...maybe it does and maybe it doesn't but that cause does not lie in children being vaccinated. The only way we can really know is through research and Trump has effectively ended that avenue. Children all over the world are dying because of our government's inaction. Dr Fauci deserves our awe and respect for the number of lives he has saved through his work. Those GOP goons deserve nothing but derision.

Easy to see why Ms Armstrong is so widely published. This is a penetratingly good article.

Thank you for keeping us aware. Our government is massively failing so many of us. I did not read about the Fauci hearings, except here, because I know legacy media is also failing us. It can’t be trusted to get the story right. The “right” story is the human story, as you tell it, not the story about Fauci taking the fifth 100 times as if he has something to hide. That is the story Republicans want published.

The people you describe who will not listen, who beat up on public servants like Fauci, who are not curious, who care only for the public display they make (as if saying, “Who the f*ck do you think you were…” is attractive) are not “well.” They are deeply unwell. Something is wrong with them.

This article touchés me deeply. I lost my husband to Covid in 2020 before the vaccine was available. I will never be over the loss of the love of my life. And it is very lonely to see the world moving on and not caring about those who are still suffering. It’s discouraging and infuriating that people won’t take even a small step to protect the vulnerable. The treatment of Anthony Fauci is beyond disgraceful.

I’m so sorry for your ongoing illness. I’ll never forget my shock when I first heard someone say they didn’t think Covid was real. And this was only 2 or 3 weeks in. Unfortunately there is a very active propaganda machine denigrating science and research. I’m just not sure what we can do.

Thank you for your writing and advocacy. You are not alone!

No, the Fauci hearing was as harmful as I could imagine, short of arresting and jailing Fauci on the spot. There's no winning a third of the country with wisdom when you can so easily baffle 'em with bullshit.

Were you vaccinated? I got my first two vaccines on 1/28/21 and 2/10/21.
