Wikipedia does not show HC on his list of honors. They have Bates in the 1990s as his first honorary doctorate. Wikipedia didn't exist in 1987. I was wondering why there was nothing about George Washington in Wikipedia. Now I know

Fauci was the commencement speaker in 1987, which also happened to be the 25th reunion year of his class.
Wiki is missing most of his honorary degrees. I believe the count is near 50. He has honorary degrees from HYP, for example, none of these are on the Wiki list.
He has testified before Congress on more occasions than any other person, living or dead. He may hold the record for honorary degrees as well. ___________________
I know Bowdoin is awarding him an honorary this month, so that's 47, and I think he has one or two more.

I was wondering why there was nothing about George Washington in Wikipedia. Now I know George who ? George de Hertburn, that was actually his real family name. The family estate was called Wessyngton which is the Norman spelling of Washington but the last name of his paternal ancestors was de Hertburn. That was from Sunday Magazine not Wikipedia. By huge coincidence I had just googled George Washington to find his age as President to compare in my mind with Joe Biden. George was 57 when his two terms began. Joe was 78. Apparently families were referred to by the name of their estates back then.

Originally Herteburne, now Hartburn. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartburn,_Northumberland However, Washington's ancestors came from Washington, not Hartburn. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_Tyne_and_Wear The ancestral line descends from the marriage of Margaret de Huntington, her third, to Sir William fitz Patrick de Hertburn in 1181. William acquired lands in Washington in 1183. The second child of this marriage, William de Washington, subsequently married Alice de Lexington. Georgie's line descends from William de Washington, who was never a de Hertburn, his father having removed himself. fitz means son of, so William is the son of Patrick. William fitz Patrick de Hertburn was quite possibly a vassal to a branch of my ancestral family, in Lincolnshire. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_de_NevilleHugh was the "evil counselor" to King John (Prince John in the cast of Robin Hood) and a rather nasty fellow. Hugh, a medieval chief accountant, paid great attention to the balance sheet, so some might say it runs in the family. :-)

Why use Wiki for history when it is based on anyone giving it info, thus far from reliable ?

It is quick - if sometimes inaccurate. I always discouraged my grad students from citing it in their writings. Just how does one "contribute" to Wiki? When I was invited to create entries for online encyclopedias in psychology and history, I found it to be was an involved process. I can't imagine Wikipedia does anything like that.

Losing Savannah Guthrie is not a good sign for Dr. Fauci.

In this case Dr. Fauci was asked about the idiotic CDC summer camp guidelines. No scientist could actually defend them, they are so stupid. He actually immediately laughed at the rules (not at Savannah) and said they were a bit conservative. That is a Faucism for ‘Even stupider than the vaccinated masking guidance last week but I’m not going to say that.” By the end of the friendly interview he was laughing and simply could not defend the nonsense.
Amongst the gems from the brain trust at CDC is that all kids should wear masks all the time outdoors at summer camps. I’m convinced one or more of those ‘experts’ have stock in a mask company.
Hello?

I thought he handled the tough questions rather effectively. The questions really aren’t hard. In fact, they’re quite easy if he would just be honest. If he’s going to put himself on TV every day and the entire country is going to guide themselves based on whatever he says, he just needs to tell the truth. There is no scientific reason for little kids running around outside at summer camp to be masked. If he could have just said that, almost everyone except the CDC would have applauded and agreed. He has the opportunity to help the country move forward and to actually maybe help people come together and he has consistently missed those opportunities in the last several months.

Next up: vaccinating infants Did you not vaccinate your children? Infants begin receiving vaccinations at two months...but please keep up this rhetoric, it will help our country.

I guess I should have checked with you first as clearly you have all the answers. Is Covid-19 an imminent threat to infants?

The two of you are discussing very different vaccinations. No child has been vaccinated for Covid 19 at 2 months - or 2 years for that matter. My wife, as a school nurse, had to deal with many parents each year who did not want their child have a mandated vaccination. This is not a new issue. (BTW: There are also some chiropractors who coached parents on how to claim a religious exemption - to which they are not entitled - to get around that vax mandate for DPT. The other issue was children from overseas. They did not have to show proof of vaccination to enter school...while all other students did.) Life is never as simple as we might wish.
