Thousands of emails involving Dr. Anthony Fauci — the head of NIAID — and Dr. Francis Collins — the head of NIH — have been released due to FOIA requests. Thousands of pages in all, some of them heavily redacted, are available at BuzzFeed, and they are somewhat of a Rorschach test. Having recently written “The Fall of St. Anthony Fauci,” I read many of these emails and thought they were rather damning of the man and our response. But, clearly, the Washington Post sees in them a man who is simply overwhelmed by what’s unfolding around him and who works around the clock to keep the information flowing.
