If you order a product to be delivered to your house and the driver of the delivery truck runs over a kid, then it can be proven that you approved funding an activity that resulted in the death of a child. So what should happen next?

Well. If you ordered the driver to go as fast as possible, take the fastest route by the schools and run every red light, then needlessly excessive risks were taken and the ability for you and your successors to make similar orders should be severely curtailed. If you then tried to hide evidence that any enquiry would be interested in, then that would be illegal and should be lawfully punished.

You're arguing from emotion and there's no logic to anything.

Quite the opposite. I'm saying it is logically impossible to claim the negative that Fauci had not done anything incriminating. In fact, given that a blanket pardon was granted, it is highly likely that something undisclosed occurred.

it doesn't matter if Fauci personally approved the funding

Legally irrelevant but reputationally devastating. More than enough reason for illegal cover ups.

Other than the concept of innocent until proven guilty.

The blanket pardon nullifies this argument. Fauci may have done any number of incriminating acts prior to 2024, but none will ever be proven in court. It is not possible to claim there weren't any.

I can't prove that you've never done anything incriminating.

Now you've got it. This statement can't logically be made.

is it fair for me to assume you're a criminal?

You are not in a position to claim I am not a criminal.
