Fauci, a.k.a, the attention whore caught Covid. He will do anything to stay in the headlines. Today, Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, and Chief Medical Advisor to President Biden, tested positive for COVID-19 on a rapid antigen test. He is fully vaccinated and has been boosted twice. He is currently experiencing mild symptoms. Dr. Fauci will isolate and continue to work from his home. He has not recently been in close contact with President Biden or other senior government officials. Dr. Fauci will follow the COVID-19 guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and medical advice from his physician and return to the NIH when he tests negative.
Why the fuck does Dr. Fauci need to follow medical advice from another doctor? It's not like he has something that requires a specialist like cancer or heart surgery. It's just a viral infection. He shouldn't take his own medicine, as it were?
Because of the conventional argument that pro se representation is a bad idea because there is no objectivity from the defendant. This isn't a legal matter. This is a guy who has been, for years, telling the American people, and the world, what to do if they get COVID. So what he said is not valid? I do not trust any doctor that cannot diagnose and treat themselves in a heath issue involving internal medicine. You know, the general, simpler things.
Well they made Young Sheldon and Young Rock so maybe it's time for Young Overnight? See how the mind we know formed?
So the leader of a government agency who does not practice medicine on patients directly is the same as a General Practitioner who meets with patients every day. If Fauci wants individual medical guidance it makes sense to for him to go to his personal doctor -- who by the way has the power to prescribe drugs and refer Fauci to specialists.
His agency says he has always taken some rounds at the hospital as an Infectious disease specialist. Oz said he didn't but Oz the great is a liar and not an actual wizard. https://www.factcheck.org/2022/01/dr-fauci-still-treats-patients-contrary-to-dr-ozs-claim/ I don't know but I'd be surprised if his own insurance and agency did not require he name a personal physician other than himself?
Seeing patient as an infectious disease specialist is entirely different than seeing patients as a general practitioner. In the same way a general practitioner is not qualified to make rounds as an infectious disease expert, an infectious disease expert is not qualified to operate as a general practitioner.
Well Overnight has a point that he is the perfect specialty to diagnose Covid but I'm confident there's insurance issues, employer (at his age) state board issues and certainly its in ethical problem territory? PLUS, men his age must complain about the lumbago to somebody.
I expect that there is also the reality that in order to maintain his medical license he is required to walk medical rounds with a few real patients for a small number of days each year. It would actually be interesting to see what the medical licensing requirements are. They probably vary by state -- and the best way to meet them is to associated yourself with a hospital that will give you the privilege of wandering around (attending) every once in a while.
