Dr. Fauci, Thank you for service. You, sir are a true hero and patriot. I am sorry my fellow country men have made life more difficult for you. Thank you for always speaking truth. I was going to say speaking truth no matter how difficult, but you are such a man of integrity, dedicated to saving lives, telling truth is no difficult task

all of the shit they've put that poor man and his family through. I hope they'll leave him alone now, although I doubt they will. He deserves a nice, happy retirement. Hope he gets it.

6. Same here! He's been stellar during this global pandemic, no doubt saved a lot of lives

Unlike TFG who treated him with nothing but contempt and the result was that this heroic doctor who has devoted his life to saving the lives of others was threatened by TFG's deluded "followers!" We owe him so much and he never gave up despite everything (Rand Paul! )!

I hope that he's finally able to get on with the next chapter of his life which he delayed to serve President Biden and the country!

9. I remember that she had him on regularly at the beginning of the pandemic

And we know she does a great interview, strives for accuracy, so he liked going on her show. But naturally TFG and his enablers aren't fans of hers, so back when the good doctor was contributing to those awful pandemic "news conferences," they prevented the him from appearing on her show!
