MOTHER FUCKER YOU ARE 81 YEARS OLD AND HAVE HELD THE SAME JOB FOR 38 YEARS. YOU NOT ONLY FUCKED UP THE HIV EPIDEMIC, YOU ALSO FUCKED UP COVID. TELLING PEOPLE NOT TO WEAR MASKS AND ONE MILLION DEATHS IS YOUR LEGACY. WHY ARE YOU HINTING THAT YOU’LL CONTINUE DOING THIS INTO YOUR LATE 80S IF :whywhywhywhywhy: WINS?!
I fucking hate this piece of shit. Not only did he fuck up the AIDS crisis, he also would have completely fucked up on Ebola if it had ever gained a foothold in the US:

They made their laissez faire obvious in 2014. The outbreak of Ebola, with its 40% case fatality rate, triggered alarm about the disease spreading across America, and state governors demanded mandatory quarantines for healthcare workers returning to the U.S. from afflicted regions. But Dr. Tony Fauci did not want his colleagues subjected to quarantine, and went on mass media to blast New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia and Florida, declaring their quarantines ‘unscientific’ and ‘draconian’. Again, Ebola’s case fatality rate is 40%.
I actually know the people who took the lead on handling Ebola. They were much more competent than Fauci, thank goodness. They also never go on TV, because normal officials and doctors don’t do that. This man has always wanted to be a celebrity.
I worked with a local public health organization during ebola and I cannot emphasize this enough, if county officials hadn’t stepped up we’d all be dead right now. I have never been so enraged at an organization as the CDC during ?2014 or whenever it was that ebola came to the states. Several days late and several dollars short is the most charitable description I could possibly offer. Absolutely institutionalized incompetence. Really hammered home just how the expectation is that we are completely on our own and this country only operates for the benefit of the wealthy.
And yet when covid hit I was still somehow shocked at how badly we mismanaged that.
Shit, I never realized the country was in that degree of precarity when ebola hit. Are there any good reads or videos about what you’re talking about, or just ebola in general?
