Just A Little Reminder About WHO Dr. Anthony Fauci Is.

So, this walking, talking fur ball of corruption and ignorance wants to fire Dr. Anthony Fauci, does he?

Just a little reminder of who Fauci is: HE'S A NATIONAL TREASURE! He's the world's greatest expert on the epidemiology of viral infections. There isn't a virologist in the world who wouldn't give their right arm to work for him, or put the fact that they worked under him on their C.V.

He's been with the National Institutes of Health for nearly 50 years, and has worked for every President since REAGAN.

Do you think he should get the Medal of Freedom? HE'S ALREADY GOT ONE! George W. Bush (not exactly a 'liberal elitist') already GAVE it to him.



And here is a partial list of some of his other awards. He's been awarded everything SHORT of the Nobel Prize.

The fact that the WORST, DUMBEST, STUPIDEST, President in history would fire him, or claim that "he's a nice man, but he's made a lot of mistakes" literally makes me want to puke.

1979: Arthur S. Flemming Award[63]
1993: Honorary Doctor of Science, Bates College[64]
1995: Ernst Jung Prize (shared with Samuel A. Wells, Jr.)[65]

2005: National Medal of Science[71]
2005: American Association of Immunologists Lifetime Achievement Award[72]
2007: Mary Woodard Lasker Public Service Award[73]

2008: Presidential Medal of Freedom[70]
2013: UCSF medal[74]
2013: Robert Koch Gold Medal[75]
2013: Prince Mahidol Award[76]
2015: Honorary Degree, Johns Hopkins University[77]
2016: John Dirks Canada Gairdner Global Health Award[78]
2018: Honorary Doctor of Science, commencement speaker, American University[79]
2018: Honorary Doctor of Science, Boston University[80]
2020: Federal Employee of the Year[81]
2020: Presidential Citation for Exemplary Leadership, National Academy of Medicine[82]

And for my fellow scientists out there...here is Fauci's Pubmed PUBLICATION list. He's authored OVER A THOUSAND PAPERS on infectious disease!

Why do you think he's been on the outs with trump for months and trump wants to fire him?

He just said yesterday that the US could not be worse positioned in it's handling of the corona virus. That's a direct shot at trump.

1. a 'gain of function' study isn't a study to engineer a virus to see how bad it can get. The terms 'gain of function' and 'loss of function' are genetics terms for forward and back mutations of genes. Those types of studies are done every day. And

2. There's no evidence the virus was modified artificially. It arose naturally. ( https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9 )

I don't get the motive as from the post count, that is not a troll, or even a fairly new poster who slipped through the cracks.

...the same disinformation in some semi-legitimate newspapers. In that case, I just put it down to reporters shooting from the hip, without doing their research. In which case, they become part of the problem, not part of the solution.
