the word used was "discredit" (perhaps you should watch your own links) and was used by the CNN anchor. No one said "suppress". None of the words used as descriptors in the MAGA articles are close to equivalent to "discredit". But you and they knew that....It's kinda like when a reputable news agency labels a group as terrorists and the fringe sites call the same group "freedom fighters".

No one in this interview said “quash” or “squash “. She was asked about an intention to discredit the lab leak theory. Why wouldn’t there be? Scientists disagree, often. Some are passionate. And why would the director of the cdc need anyone’s permission to publicly dispute it…well, maybe the prez permission but guess who that was.

Re1-4, fauci pointed out that the cdc, not he, made the social distancing guidelines. They were based on the belief, at the time and based on other virus behavior, that Covid was primarily spread by droplets and not aerosol. That was incorrect but science sorted it out in its normal systematic, analytical manner. It took some time as it always does. The best path imo with icu’s filling up and 1000’s dying per day was with an abundance of caution. Certainly Doc felt the urgency given his reasoning for the rush to widely utilize any possible treatment. re #5. See above. He didn’t write the guidelines. That question should be asked of the cdc. I suspect they employ social scientists and economists…

cuz it's the same drug. For rosacea, I think metronidazole is a safer, better drug. Let's say you go to your doc today and tell him you're worried about a heart attack. you have a family history, you're fat and you smoke. And he says "let's put you on a beta blocker". And the smart guy that you are, you ask "what's the evidence for that?". And he says, "there isn't much for primary prevention but tons for secondary prevention (post heart attack). And then you ask "what about statins?". He says , yes tons of data, hundreds of studies". And you say "never mind, I've heard bad things about statins....". the downside was that it didn't work, dummy
