At American Greatness, Dan Gelernter describes the Orwellian Dr Fauci:
Anthony Fauci is a terrible man.
And he has been identified in the public mind with a great deal of the evil in
our current situation. But the real danger in Fauci is that not that he is
unique, but that he is typical. Fauci is just a bureaucrat. He is no worse
and—this is the key point—no better than the vast army of faceless fascists who
have insinuated themselves into every aspect of our daily lives. His medical
experiments on dogs and children are just routine to a genre of people whose idea
of right is aligned entirely and absolutely with anything that will increase
their own power and authority.
Fauci lacks the imagination and the
intelligence to become a tyrant-king, but he offers the king his own insatiable
greed, an eager helping hand, an impenetrable stupidity, a mind totally
divorced from absolute moral distinctions. He will never be the top man, but he
is just as dangerous in his enabling role—he represents the rest of government:
the No. 2 man, all the way down to number 3 million. And apparently, we do have
about 3 million federal government employees at this point—let that sink in for
a moment. One percent of the country spends their lives taking money from the
rest. We could call them one-percenters . . .
This is not to suggest that federal
bureaucrats are evil—only that their jobs deliberately slice away their
humanity, and suppress, through rules and regulation, the care they might
otherwise have for a poorer neighbor. Bureaucracy allows people like Fauci to
get the money and power they crave in the only way they understand—not by
adding value or inventing new things, but simply by stealing it from other
people.
