I admire Dr. Fauci as much as anyone does but I'm also a firm believer that no one should die at their desk.

No one ever said on their deathbed "I wish I had spent more time at work."

The National Review has a short story about Dr. F.'s retirement today. The reader comments to the article give a snapshot of the virulent partisan hatred of our times. A sample:
"He belongs on trial before The Hague for his crimes against humanity."
"Anthony Fauci is one of the biggest megalomaniacal criminals of the last 100 years."
"He deserves to rot in the ninth circle of Hell."
"He's a disgrace to the scientific profession and the medical profession."
Etc., etc.

No one ever said on their deathbed "I wish I had spent more time at work." Unless you are dying in the poor house.🙂 I saw Dr. Fauci on CNN today and he pushed back a little by saying he didn't announce his retirement but rather said he will retire by the end of President Biden's term. He said he obviously couldn't stay forever and wants to pursue other interests in his field after retiring from NIH while he has the energy, but has no date in mind at present.

This rule of thumb also applies to ignoramuses/ignorami.

I hope Dr. Fauci enjoys a long, healthy retirement.

Before his retirement, hopefully he can come up with a plan to deal with monkeypox.

All prima facie evidence that "He belongs on trial before The Hague for his crimes against humanity."

He survived his 60th reunion. But he might be spooked about coming back after catching Covid. We may not see him at HC for awhile.

After years of dealing with a variety of infectious diseases, I doubt Dr. Fauci gets spooked easily.

He was on a panel at the Hill's Future of Health Summit-- he repeated multiple times he is NOT retiring. He did say he has no plans to be in his current role as an Advisor to the President after the 24 election- regardless of who wins. Tony then talked about future pandemics and the need for vaccines- pointing out that the current group of "Vaccines" aren't vaccines but merely tools to address the virus. He also indicated NIH needs more money from Congress to address the future health needs of the US and the world. Here is the link for those interested in watching the Summit thehill.com/events/3538937-the-future-of-health-care-summit/

Yes, but after being in all those shoulder to shoulder unmasked briefings at the White House before vaccines with the (at the time) big guy droning on and on, it was disappointing he finally tested positive after appearing at a crowded indoor event in the summer at HC.
I assumed the summer scheduling meant being outdoors was a no brainer.

I assumed the summer scheduling meant being outdoors was a no brainer. You seem to be assuming that he caught COVID at HC. Perhaps he did, but given the incubation period for the BA-4 and BA-5 subvariants is generally 2-3 days, he may have become infected after Worcester. Fauci was out of Worcester by Saturday afternoon, and tested positive with mild symptoms the following Wednesday. The following link is to a profile of Fauci published in the Washington Post Sunday magazine, several weeks ago. It will not be behind a paywall. The interview with Fauci was on the Sunday following the dedication of the Integrated Science Complex. The concluding paragraph. wapo.st/3PH1k8n

My main point is I was surprised that all the events involving Dr. Fauci weren't text book public health best practices out of respect for his status as the most recognizable public health leader in the country. Who knows, maybe he pre-approved all arrangements, sites and lack of indoor mask mandates. But he avoided the indoor unmasked Washington Correspondents Dinner so I assumed HC planners would take a cue from that and have the ceremony outdoors with attendees having the option to tour the labs at their leisure. It looks like the Science building cluster naming concludes the Holy Cross tribute to Dr. Fauci. No School of Public Health funded by Bill Gates types.😔😷🤧

I remember when The National Review was a proud masthead and always an interesting and thought provoking read. Alas, the days of Editor William F. Buckley, III are long gone.

The rot has infected National Review. Buckley, flaws and all, would be disgusted. May God Bless Dr. Anthony Fauci.

No School of Public Health funded by Bill Gates types.😔😷🤧 On Friday evening, Fauci attended a class reunion reception in Hogan. He was double-masked the entire time. He did not attend the class reunion dinner that followed the reception. There is speculation that he was at a private dinner with some of TPTB. Where he slept on Friday night is unknown, other than there is no report that he, and his security detail, had slept on-campus. On Saturday, he toured the Integrated Science Complex, spoke at the dedication ceremony, spoke to well-wishers at the end of the ceremony (there is a photo of an unmasked Fauci and an unmasked Cousy talking); and spoke to a group of students who were socially distanced. He did not attend the outdoor reception. From the Reunion schedules, there were no events specific to his class after the dedication ceremony. Where he ate breakfast and with who is unknown. AFAIK, he was out of Worcester by Saturday noon, or shortly thereafter. If a class reunion attendee tested positive in the days immediately following the reunion weekend, I believe the class chairs notified reunion classmates of this, and there were postings on Crossports of several positive cases. IIRC, there were three cases reported, a husband and wife, and a single individual. Fauci was the fourth.

Buckley, III are long gone.If it is any consolation, he excerpted from the public on line comments section and not the National Review article itself. (You get some wild comments on all sorts of articles and all sorts of publications nowadays). William F. Buckley's publication continues to tweak libs and confound progressives while "standing athwart history yelling stop" (as Bill frequently said). It used to drive the communists crazy.

William F. always drove me crazy, too. Not for his content, but listening to him deliver it on PBS was like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard.

Who can forget Gore Vidal calling William F. Buckley a "pro-crypto Nazi"? No one knew what he meant, other than that it was an insult.
