Brave heroes in Serbia for sure. If Democratic Party tyrants in the U.S. seek to emulate these de facto house arrest sentences against the populace, I think there'll be a massive Uprising here, too. Americans are not going to put up with Faucism much longer.
In 1981 Dr. Fauci began working on discovering how to treat AIDS, which he was certain was caused by a virus. He wrote a paper in which he pointed out that, although the disease “seems to selectively affect a particular segment of our society,” it demanded a medical solution. Moreover, he warned, “any assumption that the syndrome will remain restricted to a particular segment of our society is truly an assumption without a scientific basis.”
I remember sitting in auditoriums in the 80's and hearing that AIDS (or GRID as I remember it first being called) was not going to be a problem for heterosexual couples. Really. Just as we are learning now, our first presumption may not be the correct path to follow. We need to be flexible to all the new scientific findings as they are released to truly call our discipline science-based.
Nobody is claiming he cured either, but lemme ask you - is hiv a death sentence now? Nope, it can be managed. Thank you Dr fauci.
As for ebola, I’m one of the nurses in my facility trained to be in the hot zone. Not only for ebola but also if we see any if the other viral hemorrhagic fevers like marburg, lassa, dengue, etc. When I was being trained at the national ebola training center, fauci’s name came up as someone to be respected & listened to.
We have sayings in emergency, but tos prevents me from using them.
David Ho (TIME Magazine's person of the year in 1996) deserves credit for the HAART treatments for HIV/AIDS. Fauci did nothing.
Vasculitis has not been cured. Just Google "epidemiology of vasculitis" and find out that people still get it to this day.
Fauci has done jack squat on finding some cure or vaccine for anything Corona-related. He is just on CNN all the time trying to get us to forget about anything and everything else in life and live like Corona-obsessed nutjobs.

Fauci cured HIV and Ebola?!?! WOW!!
The only viral infection that I can think of that is curable is Hepatitis C. Generally, one recovers, recovers with sequelae, develops a chronic infection, or dies.
I am beginning to think the OP is not a health care person.

I can't dispute their education/credentials because I simply don't know them. But they surely seem obsessed with defending a certain orange one and his grim reaper squad.

That's right: The Democrats. They have used the Corona as a pretext for imposing totalitarianism on us.
What's the survival rate for this Corona? 98.5% or more? Some fate to suffer through. We don't have any immunity so we're all going to get this Corona sooner or later.
BTW, autocrats like Idi Amin, Elena Ceausescu, and Robert Mugabe all got honorary degrees. It doesn't mean anything. Fauci - given his abject failure to find some cure for this Corona - should have been fired a long time ago.
Hang on a second. You sure you understand what totalitarianism is?
“Totalitarianism is often distinguished from dictatorship, despotism, or tyrannyby its supplanting of all political institutions with new ones and its sweeping away of all legal, social, and political traditions.” That is a description of the trump reformation of the gop, not what the democrats have proposed.

And your non-sequitur regarding honorary degrees being awarded to dictators equating to fauci being solely responsible for finding a “cure” for covid made my brain hurt. I don’t even know how to deconstruct that statement.

You can't deconstruct the nonsense because the intention is disruption, political agitation and meaningless division. At least we aren't yet getting the cut and paste election cycle baloney that inundated AN in 2016.
