In a hearing of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene denounced Dr. Anthony Fauci's "So-called science," and recommended that the former National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases boss face prosecution.
The committee might check out Fauci's May 15 speech to students at Columbia's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Fauci has claimed to represent science itself, and there's another reason he was a poor choice to address medical students.
In 1966, Fauci earned a medical degree at Cornell but in 1968, he took a cushy "Yellow beret" job with the National Institutes of Health, so if he ever practiced medicine it was only for a short time.
Dr. Fauci's bio showed no advanced degrees in molecular biology or biochemistry, but in 1984 he became head of NIAID. Kary Mullis, who earned a PhD in biochemistry from UC Berkeley and won a Nobel Prize for invention of the polymerase chain reaction, thought Fauci unqualified for the NIAID job.
A government bureaucrat for more than 50 years, Fauci exercised executive-level power without ever facing the voters.
Rep. Greene is not out of line with her call for criminal charges, but the larger task is to eliminate the structures of the white coat supremacy Dr. Fauci embodied.
