Good riddance to Fauci and his calamitous, costly career

Whatever comes next in the pandemic, we all have cause to rejoice at the best news since the arrival of the COVID vaccine: Anthony Fauci, the president s chief medical adviser, has announced his retirement. His long and singularly disastrous career ends in December.
