If anything, he’s underperformed financially with where he should be. Do the other members of Congress and I bet we won’t find underperformance to be a big issue.👍 2Comment

I would be surprised if Fauci didn’t have this much. In fact, I’m surprised it’s not higher.
CSRS (which Fauci should be under) has a much more generous pension calculation than the current FERS.
I had to do a govt financial disclosure last year for the first time. It’s much easier to fill out if you only have mutual funds and/or index funds. They are primarily looking for conflicts of interest, I.e. do you have large amounts of stock in one company that may be used for govt contracting etc. that may sway your decision making.
I was curious about Roger Marshall who is the one making a big deal about Fauci here so googled him…So this article states Roger Marshall’s most recent financial disclosure lists a net worth of somewhere between “3.9 and 12.2 million”. What? Talk about vague/inaccurate reporting

I personally do not classify scientific opinion and the opinion of a scientist as smug. Some put him on a pedestal. They can do that. Smug and arrogant are rather soft. No reason to throw stones at an old man. Leave it at that. Only a moron would not have used his position to investigate the origins of Corona virus. Let the facts speak. He was loyal, but to whom?👍 1Comment

And that’s not even getting into him using a “whoa is me, I’m just a doctor, not a politician” attitude when it suits him, then wading into public policy with conviction when he chooses.👍 4Comment

I have no doubt my reporting form is different/less complex. But either way this is just another example of the pot calling the kettle black in politics.Comment

I’ve recently learned how little power the FDA even has when safety issues with drugs and devices are reported. Recalls are almost all voluntary because the FDA can’t do anything to already approved/cleared drugs/devices. It was interesting to learn how different reality is from public perception.👍 1Comment

Frankly, I’m surprised it’s that low. He’s been practicing forever. Came out when student loans weren’t an issue. And we’ve had crazy good market returns. And he’s got royalties off of books. Only 6k a year at 10.9% (trailing 50y market returns to 2020) over 50 years puts him at just shy of 11M without matching. I know $6k isn’t the same now and 50y ago and I realize he’s going to have some cash and bonds, but it’s a lot easier to throw that in a compound interest calculator.
Yes, 10M sounds like a ton (and it is), especially to the average non-WCI, but I feel like the only reason a doctor should have a number that low if they live and practice until 80 is 1)intentionally divesting late in life 2) poor investment choices or 3) low savings rate.

Independence was a requirement of not only the individuals but for any employee of the firm. (Including support staff).
Anyone working for PWC (globally) would not be permitted to own a single share of Tesla. Independence is tremendously difficult to legislate without a 100% prohibition. Even MF or indexes can be so narrowly targeted that a financial interest exists.
I personally feel tax returns should be available only for investigations and legal proceedings. Revealing them without the filer consent should result in very serious consequences. Of course, call it political or personal preference, disclosure and requirements are always problematic.

What power does Fauci have to investigate the origins of Covid? Scientists at the NIH have no power as far as I know.

Though accused of flip-flopping on the origins COVID-19, Fauci defends his stance as being consistent.
The emails clearly indicate he had been advised. Much less than a "scientific" approach. It memory is correct, he was strongly indicating that his contacts in China were complete;y reliable and really need to take at face value. No lab origination.
The reluctance of Dr. Fauci and other NIH officials to be forthcoming with information that could shed light on the origins of COVID-19 illustrates the old Watergate-era saw: The coverup is often worse than the crime.
I don't trust Fauci and he was leading the opposition to verification.
