But this is a make-or-break time for the inside game. If the additional funding for testing and tracing does not pass, Fauci and his colleagues will need to examine their consciences and recognize that working from the inside for all these months simply has not worked.
It is time for our colleagues to privately demand and, failing that, to publicly advocate that the administration support legislation to fund and coordinate more coronavirus testing, contact tracing and isolation support and to withhold relief from states that do not mandate masking.
Our medical colleagues must be willing to speak the truths that may put them at risk of being fired, and they must be willing to resign in protest if ignored. We do not advocate resignation lightly. Indeed, we respect Dr. Fauci's resilience in the face of calls for his departure. But there's a difference between leaving because of persecution and resigning over principle. Resigning en masse could jolt both Republic and Democratic politicians into action.
As the mishandling of the pandemic worsens and the harm intensifies, physicians have an obligation to say "no more" - to adamantly call out what's wrong and to have the moral clarity to demand what's right.
To say nothing, to go along, enables more suffering and many unnecessary deaths. The tipping point has arrived. These physicians must risk their position to honor their Hippocratic Oath and no longer enable harm.
Love the smell of fresh panic on a Wednesday evening! Kek!
