Re: 'Yetis, unicorns, and Fauci's covid myths' [Village News, Maynard Letter, 4/13/23]

Maynard made a futile attempt to impugn Dr. Anthony Fauci’s character. Here’s what you need to know about Dr. Fauci.

He was director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (1984–2023) chief of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (1980–1923).

In his distinguished and unblemished career, he won the following “awards and honors: National Medal of Science, Presidential Medal of Freedom (2008), Albany Medical Center Prize in Medicine and Biomedical Research (2002), Golden Plate Award (2003), Mary Woodard Lasker Award for Public Service (2007), National Medal of Science (2005), Presidential Medal of Freedom (2008), Robert Koch Gold Medal (2013).” (Encyclopedia Britannica}

Dr. Fauci served under seven presidents, six of whom greatly appreciated his evidence-based medical opinions. The other one was, of course, Don (the Con) Trump.

Speaking of Trump, how about his legacy? Here’s a list of current civil and criminal cases against him (as of 4/7/23):
