TBF firing Fauci in the middle of a pandemic is probably a bit more complicated than it sounds. Dudes been in that position for a very long time, more than enough time to entrench his position and get many lackeys
Funnily enough, the solution to 'the pandemic' was to stop getting in the way and let nature take its course, so firing all of them would have been an option.
True, but it is also a gamble. We do have the benefit of hindsight, and these people were lying through their teeth every step of the way, on top of gating information from us, and presumably anyone that might be a threat to them as well.
In addition, leaving that big of a void by firing them can have some...unexpected issues. And you just know that all of Trumps political enemies would blame any and every failure (potential or otherwise) that may arise from such an action upon Trump himself and those that support him
Birx admitted the covid response team said that if he fired any one of them, they would all quit
Which in Trump's economy, could have been a valid threat. In the modern economy, I'd just say they're capping.
