Prometheus was the Titan who defied the Olympian gods by taking fire from them and giving it to humanity in the form of technology, knowledge and, more generally, civilization.
He was punished for this action by being chained to a stone where an eagle would come daily and feast on his liver. His liver would grow back over night, then again with the eagle.
Looks like a lot of people have found a scapegoat in Dr Anthony Fauci.
He has been accused of funding dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, that may have resulted in a lab leak, releasing SARS-CoV-2 into the world; promoting mitigation policies that infringed on civil liberties; profiting off his pandemic-era fame; and hiding the truth about what he knew about the virus’s origins and when.
In Ayn Rands novel “The Fountainhead” the hero Howard Roark is portrayed as a modern day Prometheus.
