Right. So he was making decisions about closing schools, in my view, against what the actual evidence was saying at the time. Like the Europe, European countries opened their schools in the fall of 2020 based on a lot of that evidence that he [Dr. Fauci] ignored. But be that as may, there was like legitimate scientific debate, instead of conveying that actual scientific discussion that was going on at the time, he conveyed a certainty that it turns out even in his diary, he didn't even feel himself.
