The Cold War gave us Dr. Strangelove. COVID? Dr. Sleaze Quack is our peculiar beleaguerment. Fauci is the poster geezer for power abuse. โ€œI canโ€™t think of what else they can do,โ€ he said of endless shutdowns; killing theater, opera, and dance; closing museums; masking two-year-olds; and barring families from deathbeds and funerals.
