Since the late 1800s, the unelected federal bureaucracy has exploded in size and, most importantly, secured legal immunity from the changing attitudes of voters. The most plausible explanation is that his true role was to move as much money to the federal bureaucracy and well-connected companies as he could. Anthony Fauci could well be the culmination of this phase of state apologia hiding behind the label of “science.” But that racket he oversaw continues on—moving money and expanding federal power at whatever level the political class can get away with at the moment. We must also roll back the legislation and regulations that empower all corners of the federal bureaucracy to rip us off and trample on our rights.
