In response to Danny Armstrong's Sept. 16 letter to the editor, I would like to point out some discrepancies as well as agreements.
As far as term limits, I've been for them since the 1970s when I was in my 20s. On this Mr. Armstrong and I are in agreement.
But I disagree with Mr. Armstrong in his condemnation of Dr. Anthony Fauci. He stated that Dr. Fauci lied about the AIDS/HIV crisis. This is simply factually incorrect. In both crises, Dr. Fauci, along with other researchers, are credited with saving millions of lives from the AIDS/HIV treatments that his team created. It's possible that Mr. Armstrong has read articles from some right-wing or non-scientific websites, as there are many which distribute false and misleading information.
As far as Dr. Fauci's involvement with our recent COVID epidemic, he's been criticized relentlessly by right-wing and conspiracy media. The biggest issues with many were mask wearing, treatments, and vaccines. It is still amazing how so many Americans allowed themselves to be misled by these non-journalistic and non-scientific sources. Shockingly, even presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has downplayed vaccines, masking, and treatments. Why is this a shock? Because Dr.
People are also reading… Did Dr. Fauci make mistakes? Yes. But it was due to a dynamic global pandemic, the first one in 100 years. Everyone was learning as they worked. No one had a playbook. Remember, it was Trump who in 2018 dismantled the National Security Council's directive for the council to prepare for potential pandemics. They were preparing a playbook almost 18 months before the pandemic began.
To disparage an individual who served this country for more than 53 years serving as advisor to seven Presidents and was NIAID Director for 38 years is simply wrong.Tags Catch the latest in Opinion Get opinion pieces, letters and editorials sent directly to your inbox weekly!
