He hit his Peter Principle ‘level of incompetence’ two decades ago. He’s been an administrator - a politician - for a quarter of a century, and apparently not a very good one.

If in the past 36 YEARS in the job he hasn’t already groomed SEVERAL people who can replace him, he is an incompetent. That’s a basic part of leadership for any organization.

I'm not talking about his job within the NIH, I mean his position on the task force..which is more of public health spokesman and advisor to potus.

Having been in a government job, I guarantee there are/have been dozens, if not hundreds, of underlings hubcapping Fauci behind his back for staying in the same job for decades.
