While not the cover of "Time", Dr. Fauci (Kate McKinnon) and Dr. Brix featured in SNL cold open. With a replay of the opening day pitch for those missed it.

Can't figure how to copy the link but hopefully many have seen the video "Fauci on a Couchi."
Found it!:

So how will Holy Cross honor Dr Fauci? Fauci scholars program funded by major alum and non-alum donors? We can do better than a statue. Think big HC. www.bizjournals.com/boston/news/2020/12/09/fauci-colleges-expect-covid-policy-central-biden.htmlFauci: Holy Cross has an extraordinarily good reputation of pre-med to get into medical school. But (because of) the Jesuit tradition of being steeped in the classics, they formed a curriculum called Bachelor of Arts, Greek Classics Pre-med. So that was my major. It really should have said philosophy because the number of credits that I took in philosophy at Holy Cross were extraordinary, from metaphysics to philosophical psychology to ethics to a variety of others. It was a very good experience for me. Schall: Do you think the way you approach medicine and science is different because of (your studies)? Fauci: Oh, absolutely. I think it has defined the direction and the type of approach that I have towards medicine, science and global health. I'm more of a humanist than I am a physiologist, even though I think I'm a pretty good physiologist and physician. I still think in terms of the total human being as well as civilizations and the impact of disease on civilizations.

I think there is so much truth to this. I go to an ENT doctor at Yale named Eugenia Vining. She graduated summa cum laude from HC as a Classics major and then went to Yale Medical School. She is not only a brilliant doctor but a wonderful and caring person. She still loves HC. I think the liberal arts education, whether as a Classics major or something else, is not just complementary but foundational for those wishing to be a doctor.

I had surgery with Dr Vining. She was great and I had a great result.

Isn't the "Fauci Effect" related to medical school applications, not to HC as an undergrad college?

/\ /\ /\ Since it’s been over 50 years since Dr Fauci got his degree, I’m not sure if Cornell will see much of a bounce in their med school quality/quantity of applications. (Flutie was an active student at BC when he and the school hit the national headlines...FWIW I think there was a lesser known but nearly simultaneous ‘Ewing Effect’ going on at Georgetown as Ewing was leading huge hoops victories.)
As far as HC goes, we’ll know in a month if we got a big bounce in applications. If so, we can call it the “Fauci Effect”.

I appreciate you posting this. I was unaware of Dr. Malison's death. I did not know him and can't say that Dr. Vining is a friend, but she has been my doctor for years and we always talked about HC when I saw her. I now just see her once a year but she performed complex surgery on me that no doctor in Boston would take on. She is the doctor other doctors go to with their tough cases. I am really saddened for her and her daughters. She is an exemplary HC grad.

Dr Fauci:
" I still think in terms of the total human being as well as civilizations and the impact of disease on civilizations."
BINGO!

Time named Fauci and the front-line health care workers as "Guardians of the year". Long profile, with one page of text on Fauci (no mention of HC or Cornell) and one full-page photo. Eight pages of profiles and photos of various health care workers.

I had my annual physical yesterday. My doctor is a Cornell Medical School alum and also earned his undergraduate degree at Cornell. So naturally, I had to ask the question--"Have you ever met Tony Fauci?" He said he had not, but enjoyed watching several webinars where he was the key speaker. My doctor also said he was visiting his son, a student at American Univ., last fall. They went to a restaurant in Georgetown where Dr. Fauci frequently dines, but alas he was not there that night. So my physician is a fan. Like Dr. Fauci, he will be taking the vax and encouraged me to do so. Wish I could have chatted with him longer about Fauci's liberal arts background, but my poor doc is overworked, like most medical professionals these days.

Phreek,
I greatly appreciate your sourcing and sharing the link to the NY Times interview with Cardinal Burke. I do not necessarily agree with each and every word that the good Cardinal puts forth but what I admire most is his heart and courage to stand on principle and speak out in defense of the church and guided by the word of Our Lord and Savior.
I witness this in the final two paragraphs which I welcome sharing here:
For my own part, I simply wanted to be able to say, with St. Paul, that I fought the good fight, I stayed the course, I kept the faith. And it doesn’t matter to me if people say, well, he’s just an old man who was out of touch with the world and it’s sad, he made this fuss, now it’s over and we move on.
I know that I have to give an account to our Lord and I wanted to be able to say to him that even if I made mistakes, I had tried to defend him, to serve him. That sounds like a pious comment, but it’s what really drives me — and that’s all.
I find this most admirable in a time when so much of society and regrettably our church and IMO our college are trending in an increasingly secular fashion. Thank you Cardinal Burke and thank you Phreek for sharing this commentary. Makes my day and my season.

Perhaps this discussion should have its own thread, not under “Honoring Dr.Fauci.”

There is only one Cardinal I would put on the same pedestal as Dr. Fauci: Stan "The Man" Musial.

I lived in Saint Louis for several years and returned often thereafter. To say that Stan was a beloved legend in ST L is a gross understatement.
