America is obsessed with top infectious disease doctor Fauci

By Associated Press -April 19, 2020 1:00 PM

Most scientific researchers have not been made into a stuffed toy with a red superhero cape. Or, for that matter, a bobblehead doll.

A new condition related to the coronavirus pandemic is sweeping the United States: Fauci fever.

After decades of renown in American medicine, Dr. Anthony Fauci has become an unlikely celebrity in his role as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, where he has led the medical response to COVID-19 and tried to inform an anxious nation.

Fauci's fame is showing up in all sorts of new, and sometimes odd, ways: A shop in Rochester, New York, cooked doughnuts featuring an image of a no-nonsense Fauci in a white coat. A Georgia brewery produced a pale ale called "Fauci Spring." It's got acai berries — healthy, right? — and experimental hops.

Amazon shoppers can buy a "Fauci for President" coffee mug or a devotional candle depicting him as a saint with a glowing heart. One Fauci fan account on Twitter has more than 21,000 followers, and there are others.

You think people want the truth .................instead of hearing or reading about some raving lunatic inciting riots, making money off death, and installing grifters, and yelling at certain journalists and saying that it was HOAX, and then walking off a stage of his orange BS, when asked about testing, and getting help from the right wing / Russian troll farms to send people to capitals to endanger more lives and as-sine governors opening up beaches and retail malls .................and has BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.............and Fauci is telling common sense people............ hold on...................

Birx turned into a fellator.

Fauci has tried to maintain legitimacy by spinning the turd's outrages into something acceptable.

I think his resigning would mean so much more than his continued complicent-cy. (there is apparently no such word...)

Let Italy have him.
