re: RFK on why Fauci is not in prison

Trump initially had good instincts on COVID. He promoted treatment ( Plaquenil and Ivermectin), appointed a physician (name escapes me ) who was against lockdowns for all but the most vulnerable, and understood herd immunity. However the constant drumbeat and fear mongering of the Political Left, and media overwhelmed him. I wonder if any politician would have done what we now know was the correct thing.
A subtler point: many of my medical colleagues and I thought lockdowns were idiotic, as the mortality rate in countries where the virus appeared 1st were 1%. And that 1% was very old and unhealthy. meaning very few Life-Years lost for the population as a whole. Sad if its your relative, but NOT an existential crisis as it was labelled. Yet nearly all of the physicians in positions to influence policy touted the Democratic party line. Were they intimidated into compliance? Were they fearful of retribution? Or are physicians who tend toward policy making and political positions just way more likely to be ideological leftists than those of us who practice in the community???

Remember the Great Barrington Declaration in 2020 when doctors from Stanford, Harvard, and Oxford offered advice against harmful lockdowns? They were labeled as "fringe" by the media, Fauci and Collins.
