Finally I have the audiobook edition of this so-inspiring memoir by Dr. Fauci, and I'm pausing to express my admiration for him and all the doctor-scientists (like him) and other scientists who eventually learned how to use a combination of medications to stop AIDS from killing everybody who caught it.

Nobility in action.

I particularly recommend the Epilogue. Now, on to officially completing this review!

For instance, in a high level meeting about Covid, Peter Navarro barged in and verbally attacked Dr. Fauci, telling him, "You don't know what you're talking about."

Should be unbelievable. Those of us who don't get our news from Fox Entertainment Network can believe all this just fine. Like a real-life horror movie.

Although I lived through the adminstration of Pres. 45, and followed the news as much as I could bear, I was unprepared for the horror Dr. Fauci describes at the hands of 45's higher ups.

Except for Hope Hicks, these true believers had nutty agendas. And no manners.

Fauci's first meeting with President 41 -- quite simply -- creeped me out. Trump's disrespect, egoism, and lack of professionalism were stunning.

When the Ebola virus becomes a world health problem, there's Tony Fauci.

He calmly describes the (to me) exceptionally disgusting symptoms that go with this disease.

What a hero he is to me!

It was remarkable, hearing Fauci narrate how he had to personally pull his op-ed on this program from the New York Times, due to pressure at low levels of the Obama administration.

Fauci'svoice sounded mildly annoyed, not spitting mad. Which would have been more than understandable in those circumstances.

[continuing, aftermy finger slipped on the last comment and brought me here]

History will judge us harshly for not ending AIDS when we had the chance.

History? Heck, I'm ready to judge harshly right now those folks (probably at the financial government agency) that said the cost of this brilliant program would be "too high."

An AIDS-free generation

It was so lovely, reading how Dr. Fauci was teaming up with (then) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to implement a program that could have ended AIDS.

Grrrrr. Sometimes I feel so frustrated at the small-mindedness that can win here at Earth School!

A lesser human -- most of us -- would have put the situation differently:

"People are STOOOPID." ;-)

The whole timing of the SARS epidemic was oddly unpredictible. People clamored for the vaccine, which wasn't ready yet.

When it finally became available, people complained they didn't trust it.

Fauci's amazing summary in his book? "People are inscrutable." Uttered (n his voice recording for this audiobook) with no rancor whatsoever.
