perhaps if he had quit in March 2020 when Trump's reptilian sycophants had tried censoring mortality rates, people would have known the truth. But then again, would anyone who is actually against totalitarianism ever be promoted to that position? People who have morals wouldn't even get hired
Reagan asshole. Did the whole "masks aren't needed" thing at the start. Proceeded to not quit to keep the media narrative credible for people less versed in science, but stayed on for his own ambitions masked in "oh i need to do this" so there was an easy flip-flop type narrative for people less versed in science to distrust all further info.
He was appointed by Reagon to be director of NIH, but he joined the NIH as a physician in the 60s. Idk if this position is a political appointment
