Fauci to step down as nation’s infectious disease chief

[Scott]

 

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, announced Monday that he will step down as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as well as President Biden’s chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden at the end of the year.

 

“It has been the honor of a lifetime to have led the NIAID, an extraordinary institution, for so many years and through so many scientific and public health challenges,” Fauci said in a statement. “I am very proud of our many accomplishments. I have worked with — and learned from — countless talented and dedicated people in my own laboratory, at NIAID, at NIH and beyond.

Half a century of service to the people to lead the fight against deadly diseases and help save lives around the world. Enjoy your next chapter in your distinquished life. Shame that he was hounded by the right-wingers for trying to stop the spread of Covid-19.

I think it was a great triumph for the good doctor to  keep the death toll to a bit over a million considering about 40% of the population and politicians there are covidiots.   The sane 60% should be commended

Pfizer's number 1 sales rep flees the ship before the reckoning. Pathetic. Good riddance though.

Not a good enough salesman Those parts of the country more likely to reject vaccinations also had a much higher death rate from covid

I remember not long ago when some folks were talking about "The Storm" that was going to be a day of reckoning for politicians and government bureaucrats undermining the USA.

How I look forward to a future when no one says silly things like

"How i look forward to the future............... when the reckoning comes." 

However, unlike the folks who say stuff like that, I know I will be disappointed.

When he leaves office the message on his voicemail will say "If you have called to threaten the life of the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases please call [number of new director]."  Yeah, dark humor.

I wish the guy well, we're from the same village.

 Given the number of excess deaths caused by the previous administration's denialism, a good case could be made for the prosecution of those who knowingly abetted it.

Dr. Fauci should have been replaced a long time ago before he became a lightening-rod for challenges to gov't health policies.

The acrimonious exchanges that resulted did no credit to either Fauci himself or the groups who were pushing their agendas.

The Chief Medical Advisor to the President should have diplomatic as well as medical skills.

Appearance and mannerisms count for a lot also. Fauci looks like he could have been sent by Central Casting to play Dr. Death.

You think that fanatics who claimed all sorts of conspiratorial nonsense about covid and covid vaccines would have behaved differently had there been another person in Fauci's place? He was actually very mild mannered. And your comment about his looks kind of gives your game away.

Somewhere between the armageddon and the apocalypse, or maybe the second coming of christ. Or maybe something as mundane as Trump's revenge.

I’m very disappointed that Faucci didn’t call out Trump in public for being an incompetent fool. 

The White House Covid task force leader now says 30%-40% of the Covid deaths can be attributed to the Presidents incomprehensible incompetence, concentrating on keeping his hotels open, dealing in crackpot conspiracy theories, giving out bad information on a daily basis. 
Trump even admitted he did the opposite of what the experts advised him.

You nailed it, as usual.

 

I wish I could break out of my social media-fueled bubble of conspiracies and join the rational, science-abiding crew but my IQ is not high enough unfortunately.
