And it’s all because of lies
This interview with Dr. Fauci is super great but this final part just makes me depressed. What a sick, sick culture we are right now.
Judy Woodruff:You and I were just talking, as we wrap up this interview, about the reaction you have gotten from many in the American public about your work overall, especially during this pandemic.Is there a message there for other — and a lot of it’s been very ugly, as you shared.
Dr. Anthony Fauci:Right.
Judy Woodruff:Is there a message there for other government workers, other public servants?
Dr. Anthony Fauci:It’s been a tough row to hoe over the last three years, because public health officials, physicians, nurses and scientists, and public health officials have really had a lot of pushback in an anti-science, somewhat hostile approach to them.My word of advice to them is, stick with what we’re doing. It’s a noble profession. You get a great deal of satisfaction and gratification about helping others. And even though we’re in a somewhat bizarre situation, where there’s attacks on public health officials, that will pass and we will get back to a world, I hope, where people appreciate when a group like public health officials have devoted their lives to the safety and the health of the American public.And they should be looked upon with some degree of appreciation for that.
Judy Woodruff:Dr. Anthony Fauci, stepping down after 54 years in service of the federal government, thank you very much.
Dr. Anthony Fauci:Thank you for having me, Judy. Good to be with you.
Dear God …
