I played a version of
#TrivialPursuit from 1996 this past weekend. One question was, "What is the leading cause of death among adults age 25-44?"
Answer:
#AIDS
Thankfully this is no longer the case.
#AnthonyFauci contributed to President George W. Bush’s PEPFAR global anti-HIV/AIDS programs to help save millions of lives.
The
#Trump and
#MAGA attacks on public heath and attempts to tear down Fauci will make us less able to confront future global health crises.
"But the political heat around the famous doctor may also be an obstacle to something more important: full accountability across the public square over the pandemic, which might improve the federal response to the next emergency."
"'These attacks upon Dr. Fauci — it’s not just about him,' Democratic Sen. Andy Kim of New Jersey said at the hearing last week. 'It’s sending signals to others … our scientists, our doctors, our healthcare professionals, our researchers. (It’s) trying to show to them that if you don’t get in line with the politics, that you will also potentially be subject to attacks.'”
