Thank you, Dr. Fauci, for coming on out in front of this committee.
I know it's.
Not what you would want.
It's not what you deserve.
I just want to say and start by just saying thank you to you for your service to this nation.
I didn't know much about you prior to the pandemic.
I came to learn about you from how many Americans did, but I also had the opportunity to talk to you and engage with you as someone who is a member of the Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis over in the House of Representatives.
When I learned about your background, 38 years as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, appointed by President Reagan, served under seven presidents, four Republicans and three Democrats.
I admire that greatly.
I myself had a chance to serve in the executive branch serving government under both a Republican president and a Democratic president.
And I believe that we need more of that, more of that type of work, a place where we can understand our jobs not as coming from a place of partisanship and politics, but that of just public service.
And right now I feel the hyper-partisanship growing in this country in dangerous ways.
I feel it much more present here on the Hill than I did back when I served as a non-partisan career public servant at the State Department.
And I worry about it.
I worry about what kind of trajectory we're on as a country and what this causes when it comes next for public service and those willing to step up for our nation.
And it's not just in the attacks, but we see it brought out with the cuts to funding, to the firing of federal workers, to the demonization of their motivations, people calling our public servants criminals.
thinking that they are there solely to undermine others that are trying to engage
I look at it right now.
It's not just that the people are being attacked, our public servants being attacked, but that it's undermining the very nature of the work of governance.
These cuts to HHS funding, to NIH funding, to the grants, cuts to the researchers doing the critical work to find cures and medicines.
