These Monsters Weren't Qualified to Vacuum the Carpets at the CDC
Yet they were charting a course for the federal government's pandemic response that amounted to lethal malpractice.

We all should have learned during the Democratic primary process not to underrate the political skills of Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina. Chief among them is his sense of timing. He struck at exactly the right time to boost Joe Biden to the nomination.
And now, at precisely the right moment, Clyburn has pulled back the curtain on exactly how monstrous the administration*'s response to the pandemic really was. From CNBC:
The emails surfaced as part of an investigation by the House coronavirus subcommittee into alleged political interference by the Trump administration. The probe came about after former HHS scientific advisor Paul Alexander and longtime Trump ally Michael Caputo were accused this summer of meddling with the work of career scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease specialist. Alexander was ousted when Caputo, assistant secretary for public affairs, departed HHS on medical leave in September...
...Alexander wrote in a July 4 email to Caputo and six other HHS communications officials that the U.S. needed to establish herd immunity by allowing “non-high risk groups expose themselves to the virus. “Infants, kids, teens, young people, young adults, middle aged with no conditions etc. have zero to little risk....so we use them to develop herd...we want them infected....and recovered...with antibodies,” he wrote.
Alexander later brought the proposed strategy to Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn, another email shows. “It may be that it will be best if we open up and flood the zone and let the kids and young folk get infected as we acutely lock down the elderely and at risk folks” to get to “natural immunity…natural exposure,” he wrote on July 24 to Hahn, Caputo and other HHS officials. Caputo asked Alexander to look further into the idea, further emails show.
These two monsters weren't qualified to vacuum the carpets at the CDC. (And the destruction wrought there is another public health atrocity to be dealt with as part of the general fumigation of the Executive Branch.)
At the very least, some ambitious bulldog of a state attorney general should look into whether these people have broken the law. There has to be a penalty of some sort for lethal government malpractice.
