I tend to look at him as a tunnel visioned jacka$$ at this point.
From your list i would pick bureaucrat and investor.

The bottom line is, to do no harm to the patient. And in this case involving COVID-19, the people of the United States is the “patient”.

Our country is infested with a Fifth Column movement at MSNBC, NEW YORK TIMES, CNN, WASHINGTON POST, ATLANTIC MAGAZINE, New York Daily News, Time, ETC., and their countless Yellow Journalists, who work hand in hand with the Democrat Party socialist/communist leadership to undermine and destroy our free market, free enterprise system
did he know Chef Boyardee?
Hmmmm. I see AngraMainyu has not yet answered your question. I wonder why.

lol yeah gee wonder why…
I liked Dr. Fauci’s reply to Senator Paul’s comments.
Fauci’s oath requires him to be conginzant of the patients’ health and well being, not the economic impact.
He’s doing his job whether we like it or not and he’s doing it in accordance with his oath and his training in epidemiology.
Let the Medico’s offer their advice and the economists to offer theirs Both will be different.
It’s up to Trump to find the proper balance between the two opposing interests.

Did you read johnwk2’s post?
Did you forget what you posted?
Unfortunately, our beloved Dr. Fauci’s advice, and silence in some cases, has set the stage for his patient, the American People, to suffer and endure enormous harm, which he has brazenly attempted to justify by repeatedly saying he doesn’t give economic advice. And yet, his very oath requires him to take cognizance of economic problems which predictable may result from his advice.
A Modern Version of the Hippocratic Oath requires a doctor “… that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.”
So, how many deaths have resulted from the medicine prescribed by Dr. Fauci?
What about Dr. Fauci advising elective medical procedures like mammograms, colonoscopies, and PSA tests, to come to a halt, how many early detected cancers have gone unnoticed? And how many scheduled dental cleanings were suspended, because of his advice, during which time more early cancers could have been detected?
And what about suicides as a result of his advice to shut down businesses, i.e., those owners who have lost everything they worked for because of Fauci’s irrational advice?
From statistics, available to Fauci, sound reasoning indicates that focusing on and protecting those with underlying medical conditions which make them more susceptible to the deadly effects of the virus, would be a logical course of action, since the remaining portion of the population would not suffer significant casualties if it practiced common sense hygiene.
Indeed, Fauce has violated his oath to do no harm by prescribing an across the board, stay at home shutdown, rather than focusing on those who are most susceptible to the deadly effects of the virus, and cautioning the rest of the population to practiced enhanced precautions while conducting their day-to-day activities.

John his only duty is to give the best advice he can relative to this pandemic and that’s what he’s done in accordance with both his training and his oath.
I don’t want Economists dictating healthcare and I don’t want doctors dictating how we should take care of the economy.
Both are needed, and both need to stay out of each others’ areas of expertise.
We elected Trump to be the Chief Exec, not any of his advisors.
His job is to take the best advice he can get from all sides and through interest balancing come up with the best policies for The Federal Gov’t.
I think all involved right now have done and will continue doing a good job.

did you answer the question?
Well said.
If we keep listening to Fauci a great many people will end up starving. We can’t keep borrowing the money to send out to people indefinately or even very much longer IMO.
The only solution is to open things back up before that starts happening.
We can lose thousands to the virus or millions to starvation seems to be the choices.
I appreciate your opinion but the fact is, Fauci, as a doctor, is required to take into consideration the predictable side effects of the medicine he prescribes. And the medicine he prescribed, requiring our nation’s entire population, with a few exceptions, to “shelter in place” and close down our economy, was not only totally illogical when considering the existing evidence ___ that the vast majority of deaths from the Coronavirus were the elderly and those who had one or more underlying health conditions ___ but the “policies” you mention, that this charlatan has conned the United States into adopting has caused more harm, death and destruction, to the United States than the entire Democrat Party Leadership has caused over the past several decades. Why you defend this snake oil salesman is beyond human comprehension!
As early as February, it was known that the vast majority of deaths from the virus was limited to the elderly, and especially those having underlying medial conditions. Common sense dictated the most vulnerable ought to have been isolated from the least vulnerable while allowing normal activities to continue with enhanced.hygiene precautions for covid-19. Instead, this con artist created a nationwide hysteria and offered a totally illogical remedy which has wrecked the lives the American People, caused undue suicides, deaths from drug use, and countless other miseries across the country. And you support this piece of dirt?
Come on man. You are better than that!

Any doctor not brainwashed in lib “medical” schools knows that a healthy economy is more important to saving lives than “treating” a disease. Millions are out of work and dying yet the libs and their so-called “scientist” high priests are continuing to demand we keep the nation closed to protect the weak (who weren’t contributing much to society anyway). And anyone paying attention to sources that AREN’T the lamestream fake news lib mob media knows, hardly anyone dies of the Chinese Flu. Those few dozen who have were likely already going to die from other causes.
The lib religion of science and technology is a death cult.

oh so true! they get cornered, slowly change the argument until you’re quibbling with them about nothing. then they bail
Because they are vulnerable to COVID-19. If the country is totally open, with exception to these at-risk individuals, their chances of encountering a person infected (which is necessary, due to their condition) becomes higher.
If you want to know the medical approach according to what the best epidemiologists in the world have to say listen to Fauci.
If you want to know the best approach economically don’t.
That’s not his thing.
