David Frum: Anthony Fauci Is Not the Villain in This Story

COVID Rapid Tests
Thought Leader: David Frum

Written by: David Frum

In a recent essay for The Atlantic, David Frum reflects on the political spectacle surrounding the release of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s private pandemic-era diary and his subsequent appearance before a Senate committee led by Senator Rand Paul. Rather than focusing solely on the diary’s contents, Frum examines what the controversy reveals about today’s political climate, arguing that the hearing became less about uncovering new facts and more about revisiting long-standing political grievances. The article explores how public health, accountability, and political theater continue to intersect years after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Frum also considers the broader implications for American governance, questioning how institutions, public trust, and political discourse have evolved since the pandemic. His analysis highlights the challenges of balancing legitimate oversight with partisan conflict while encouraging readers to think critically about how major national events are remembered, debated, and politicized.
