> we'll be lucky if any public servants are willing to take up his role in the future

Sadly, there will be plenty of people desperately wanting that job. It is definitely a prime example of the saying those that want the job would not be good at the job and those that would be good at the job do not want it. Especially in today's environments where it will become a bully pulpit to push whatever agenda of whoever is in charge



Taking the job and taking on the role are two different things.

We need somebody who takes on the pivotal role that Fauci played in the HIV and COVID epidemics, not just a career-motivated seat warmer.


It could go the other way though where anti-science agendas are pushed from that position. It all depends on who gets to make the appointment really
