Your Local Epidemiologist Urges End to Attacks on Fauci After 5th Amendment Plea

Summary
Watching Anthony Fauci invoke the Fifth Amendment at a hearing, Your Local Epidemiologist argued the country should stop treating him as the sole outlet for six years of pandemic anger.
The newsletter said Fauci made real mistakes and deserves scrutiny, but blamed many flashpoint decisions—school closures, vaccine mandates and nursing-home restrictions—on local officials, employers and institutions, not him alone.
It tied that appeal to firsthand abuse of public-health workers during Covid, recounting threats, doxxing, a home visit and a 2020 incident in which a man screamed at the author and threw croissants over a WHO-logo bag.
YLE called instead for accountability through a 9/11-style commission, saying a broader reckoning is needed to explain what went wrong and how to handle future pandemics without repeating the same failures.
