Tony's Diary Package — page 150

A SECON? OPINION... If anything, Fauci's rise highlights the fact that no one person regardless of their stature - his laurels include almost every scientific accolade short of a Nobel Prize - should hold all the reins when it comes to national and global pandemics. "Tony's taken on this big role in part because of the vacuum that exists," says David Relman, a Fauci friend and professor of medicine at Stanford University. "But what if the next pandemic destroys our food? Or a bioterror attack?" he says. "We need a new leadership system that sits inside the White House, where people have the authority to tell the Attorney General what to do, or the Federal Reserve or the Secretary of Defense, so you can move fast. Tony can't do that. No one can. The system needs to change."
