“I don’t think it’s quite true to say Anthony Fauci was never willing to acknowledge uncertainty. He often did – but usually only after the fact, when explaining why he had changed his position on something. That’s fine in and of itself – we want public officials to change their minds after learning new information. But what Fauci was absolutely terrible at doing was acknowledging any degree of uncertainty at any given present moment, and especially allowing that a high degree of uncertainty about present conditions meant there was wide scope for reasonable disagreement about current policy.” (11/21/24)
