It seems to me that Dr Fauci takes the corruption of the existing system for granted, and has adopted a Machiavellian strategy to save lives by infiltrating the existing system, and sending out messages that are distorted in ways that will effectively command the sorts of people who mindlessly follow orders to act as prosocially as they can be made to act during a pandemic, while esoterically informing the intelligent few about what’s actually going on.
I think the naive cynic inside of me is somewhat positively surprised by this. It’s a marginally better state of affairs to have a prominent figure operating on simulacra level 2 rather than solely levels 3⁄4.
Great post.
