Unfortunately, the CDC provides a glaring example of Pournelle’s Iron Law of Bureaucracy:
In any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: those who work to further the actual goals of the organization, and those who work for the organization itself. The Iron Law states that in all cases, the second type of person will always gain control of the organization, and will always write the rules under which the organization functions.
In too many cases, this has meant CYA crisis “communications” which are confusing and less than functional. Fauci has not been a scientist since the ’70s, but has been a bureaucrat since then. His poor communications to the public reflect this.
