Fauci admitted to being on the board of Gilead when he was spouting his mouth off on the Pres group of all being wrong.

I don’t know ..perhaps conflict of interest?? Is a thing ??? This would be like insider trading! Sounds like a 101 for a government offiicial to be NOT biased against one biotech vs another in anyway leave alone something blatant like having an ‘fin ‘interest’ in one of them.

The feds have a thick rule book for ethics. I don't know anything about Fauci in particular, but I do know and work with a lot of federal GS-12+ scientists, and, as a group, they are almost obsessed with compliance. Owning pharma stock or having a financial interest in any med company would be an obvious and gross ethical violation.

Scientists are certainly not immune to corruption, but the biggest corrupter is advocacy, not money. For federal scientists, the next biggest danger is lust for power, as the infatuation with compliance spills over into wanting control over other people.

It's almost inconceivable to me that Fauci has big investments in big pharma. Corrupt? Possibly, but it would be by an advocacy pathway rather than a money pathway.
