Morgan wrote:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote readability=\"8.7551020408163\">\n<p>For someone whose day job is supposed to be leading America\u2019s scientific and medical war against&nbsp;<a id=\"mol-9e80c8d0-5126-11ec-b5ea-6d9bed2cc6c9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/coronavirus\/index.html\">Covid-19<\/a>, he seems to have an incredible amount of spare time for self-promotional media interviews. As time has gone on, Fauci\u2019s become more and more brazenly political in those interviews\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cWhat he said in these new interviews should give every American serious [cause] for concern, not just about the latest COVID threat but about some of the outrageously partisan statements the country\u2019s top doctor made,\u201d Morgan added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">During his interview on CBS, Fauci declared that criticism of him is actually criticism of science, characterizing himself as the field\u2019s representative.<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"12\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Anybody who\u2019s looking at this carefully realizes that there\u2019s a distinct anti-science flavor to this. If they get up and criticize science, nobody\u2019s going to know what they\u2019re talking about. But if they get up and really aim their bullets at Tony Fauci \u2014 people could recognize there\u2019s a person there, so it\u2019s easy to criticize. But they\u2019re really criticizing science, because I represent science, and that\u2019s dangerous.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">According to Morgan, Fauci\u2019s words resemble that of a \u201creligious leader berating non-believers than a scientist trying to grapple with a pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">After exploring the many instances where Fauci got the science wrong during the pandemic, from his initial downplaying of masks to his sudden acceptance of vaccine mandates after previously dismissing them, Morgan advised Fauci to \u201cput his ego away\u201d and \u201cshut the fuck up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cBottom line: if you want the American people to trust you, it\u2019s not a good idea to accuse elected representatives of half the country of being lying crooks, however much you\u2019ve been provoked,\u201d said Morgan, concluding:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The more he talks, the less many Americans either like or believe him. They just see a narcissistic blow-hard who likes the sound of his own voice and constantly changes his mind&nbsp; \u2026 If, as he insists, his only interest is in saving lives, then it\u2019s time Anthony Fauci put his ego away, stayed off TV and shut the fuck up.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Piers Morgan is far from the only one to publicly lambast Fauci in the wake of his CBS interview; on Sunday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said the doctor\u2019s comments were the height of \u201cabsolute hubris.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cThe absolute hubris of someone claiming THEY represent science. It\u2019s astounding and alarming that a public health bureaucrat would even think to claim such a thing, especially one who has worked so hard to ignore the science of natural immunity,\u201d Paul tweeted.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"9.6377708978328\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The absolute hubris of someone claiming THEY represent science.
