The big question that remains unanswered: what did they do when they realized political authority had its own agenda?
Sotiris Tsiodras and Anthony Fauci found themselves on the front lines of the pandemic as the quintessential figures of scientific credibility. One in Greece, the other in the US, they gained massive public influence and were presented as the men who would put science above politics. Yet that is precisely where the big question remains unanswered: what did they do when they realized political authority had its own agenda?
Tsiodras, from masks and opening tourism to the ICU case and the Tsiodras-Lytras study, faced critical decisions. And yet, when the time came to speak out clearly, he opted for institutional silence. Fauci, on the other hand, when called before the Senate to answer for critical aspects of the pandemic, invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer. Their silence is suspicious and guilty. Under different circumstances, they should have been dragged into a confession.
