Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, spoke through screens to the Brown community and the public Friday afternoon, sharing practical public health advice and updates on the nation’s COVID-19 response. Fauci was interviewed by Ashish Jha, the incoming dean of the School of Public Health, who is currently the director of the Harvard Global Health Institute.
Opening the event, President Christina Paxson P’19 introduced Fauci as a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases for over 35 years and an advisor to six presidents on domestic global health issues, as well as a principal architect of the AIDS response in the 1980s.
To exemplify Fauci’s commitment to mentoring young scholars, Paxson cited the story of Luke Messac — a current emergency medicine resident at the University — who tweeted in mid-July that as a Harvard undergraduate 13 years ago, he sent Fauci an email “out of the blue,” requesting an interview for his thesis. After the thesis was complete, Fauci read Messac’s work and sent back a glowing response. When Messac posted a screenshot of Fauci’s endorsement to Twitter, the post garnered over 431,000 likes and 51,000 retweets.

To contextualize current scientific efforts to combat COVID-19, Jha and Fauci recalled their own experiences dealing with other highly infectious diseases. Fauci detailed some of his scientific work fighting HIV, while Jha saw pneumocystis pneumonia drastically decrease in severity during his time as a resident at the University of California at San Francisco between the years of 1997 and 2001. “Science, when it works, really is miraculous,” Jha said.
“This is going to end,” Fauci said. “And it’s going to end because of science,” Jha added.

Dr. Fauci and Ashish Jha, Thank you for gracing us with this most excellent interview where you each spoke through screens.
You have to wonder how many people would be alive today but for the the media, Big Tech, and bureaucrats like Fauci politicizing this drug. Truly outrageous. https://t.co/j3RqJlSb1F— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 8, 2020
“the nation’s leading infectious disease expert”. NONSENSE.
So, “someday” you will give us our lives back? Lemmee guess, that will be when you succeed in electing Biden President? Science. Ain’t it great?
“the nation’s leading infectious disease expert” [citation needed]
someone will finally take this little hobbit out?
please Christ
” director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases for over 35 years “
Amazing how much he’s failed at i9n that time- yet still holds his job.
I don’t, frankly, expect any other bureaucrat would have done better, but I don’t expect much of them but to see that “protocols must be followed and the proper forms filled out!”, not that he’s done a great job of even that.
Bless his heart
9 Aug: Daily Mail: IAN BIRRELL: Why Sweden, pilloried by the whole world for refusing to lock down - with schools staying open and no face mask laws - may be having the last laugh as experts say Stockholm is close to achieving herd immunity
•Swedish health experts say struggle against pandemic is ‘marathon not a sprint’
•The country has one of the highest death rates from coronavirus in the world
•Anders Tegnell’s refusal to impose lockdown is held up by critics as a warning
•But is it possible the Scandinavian nation made the right call in the long-term?
Yet Sweden is seeing a sustained drop in cases, with some experts even suggesting it may be close to herd immunity in the capital Stockholm.
The number of deaths, new cases and patients in intensive care has fallen dramatically.
On one key measure – percentage change in new confirmed cases over the past fortnight relative to the previous 14 days – Sweden is down more than a third.
This contrasts with sharp rises in neighbouring Denmark, Finland and Norway, along with countries such as Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK...
Meanwhile, the latest data suggests Sweden is suffering less severe economic trauma than most major European nations, while it has, almost uniquely among Western countries, kept schools open...
Prof Ekstrom added that evidence from elsewhere indicated that lockdowns were unsustainable. ‘You go crazy after a while,’ she said...

...suggesting that Britain is “almost reaching herd immunity”. In a further sign of good news, the virus death toll in hospitals has also plummeted.

FauciIdiot has Napoleon Complex, just saying.
Wait. Isn’t this the same little Fauci guy who just the other day said that a vaccine is not likely to work? And isn’t it the same little guy who said that this will never end without a vaccine?
Isn’t that special?
CoVid is asking just like every virus in the history of the world
It is the stupid panic governments and Jedi’s scaring people that is different
The so called experts saw an opportunity for power and money
Does Fauci ever work at his real job? It seems as though he spends hours everyday on interviews, photo shoots, and public appearances. He is the worst publicity hound in the public arena since John McCain.
Q: Herr Doctor FauxiMengele will you please explain to the court your funding of ‘Gain of Function’ (increased infection and lethality) research (which is illegal in the UnitedStates) in Wuhan ?
HDFM: : Yes, of course, We had to study and understand the China virus to know how to deal with it when it got out.
Q: But it didn’t exist.
HDFM: ...Yeah, there’s that, but ...umm.. it DID exist after we created it.
I look forward to mid November when it finally ends.
Fauci recommended doing pooled tessting,which would waste critical reagent during a surge and delay already long test results. I have seen recalls of covid tests weekly.. so we need to conserve the real tests because 90 even on the worst day 86 percent of people demanding tests are wrong.
See it every year w flu testing. In the lab we suppose its a status thing to brag about..
If almost 90 percent of you just want to be tested every time you sneeze or cough.. you should have a lunatic feexof 500 cash up front added to any subsequent visit requesting testing.
If you have bilareral viral pneumonia, its like being pregnant, yyou dont need a test. I have watched an incredibly healthy 30 something walk through it. Now its a 61 year old, cancer survivor.
Didn’t this idiot say Covid was going to be with us forever just last week. Then he said the vaccine wasn’t going to be effective. What a maroon. It would be nice if he just went away.
mebbe he’ll have a chance to explain this graph to us all peons and peasants
