Dr Fauci is a great guy outside of work too:

2. An actual human being does that.

6. That's exactly what I thought when I read the post.

Dr. Fauci deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his determination to stand for truth under the relentless pressure of the Trump administration's bullying and personal attacks.
I would sure like President Biden to award it to him in 2021.

3. What an absolutely decent man.

He is worth about 8 million Navarros.

[JudyM]

4. Frameable. What a good human.

[madaboutharry]

5. He is a generous man.

It must be so agonizing for him to have to deal with Trump.

7. Wow. People doing things that decent people do.

10. Another good ol', down to earth, Brooklyn boy. What a great review from him!

[Moostache]

11. I was reading this while listening to Rachel Maddow's opening...

GOOD GOD!!!

The contrast between the words of Dr. Fauci and his amazing kindness to a virtual stranger clanging against the tale of Donald Trump cutting of health care payments to his nephew's ailing child AFTER written assurances had been given that the child would be cared for is jarring to my very soul.

The man who SHOULD be at an absolute minimum LEADING an international COVID response select committee is so far above the filth that infests the Oval Office today that it is beyond sickening....

12. Good people do exist in all walks of life.

I hope that someday, they have a better signal to noise ratio.

The signal is helpful. The noise, not so much.

The noise right now is giving me a bad headache.

What a wonderful thing to do.

[Maru Kitteh]

22. Amazing.

Simply amazing.

[WhiteTara]

24. Luke's thesis must have been magnificent

to receive such high praise from the president's counsel.

25. And...

He was the inspiration for a romance novel hero. A romance writer met him and was so impressed she wrote him into a book. I’ve heard this from a couple of sources.

Too bad it wasn’t one of Stacey Abrams’ books.
