People like him (Bill Gates is another example) have no respect for the intelligence of the American people. They are so wildly arrogant about their own views, they believe it's OK for them to lie to everyone to produce their desired results because they know better than the rest of us. The fact that we are all individuals with different priorities, values, circumstances etc.. that go into our decision making means nothing to people like this. We are pieces on a chess board. They don't even understand the potential evil in their attitude because like all arrogant totalitarians they think they are always right.

The problem with people like Fauci is that they extrapolate their expertise in the narrow (epidemiology) to every facet of life. I have found that specialists are some of the least capable people to speak coherently on a multifaceted problem. They have blinders on and cannot place proper value on anything outside their expertise.
