Sen. Joe McCarthy notoriously smeared those who invoked their rights before his committee as “fifth amendment communists”. I suppose Rand Paul will talk about “fifth amendment scientists” now.

Many of the senators harangued Fauci as "dishonest" because some of the guidance on COVID-19 was proven wrong and revised over time. That's just how science works. NOT revising conclusions when new evidence becomes available would be dishonest.

@mattblaze@federate.social Is there a case to be made against Fauci? Some otherwise reasonable people I know (all men) think he's the devil incarnate. But I just don't get it.
