. . . when Tony Fauci, at 74 yo, was suiting up to treat an Ebola patient himself





Adam Phillippy @aphillippy

Throwback to 5 years ago when Tony Fauci, at 74 yo, was suiting up to treat an Ebola patient himself because he "wanted to show his staff that he wouldn't ask them to do anything he wouldn't do himself". This is what leadership looks like.

The attacks on him are disgusting. And the handful of amateur wannabe holiday inn express epidemiologists here who have slurred him are no better than the Trumpers that do the same.

trump can't help anybody because he can even take care of himself.

When's the last time he changed his own diapers?

I was just gonna post that red don would kick the kid and puppy, but your version is better since he would definitely tell the help to do it while he sat on his ass in the limo.

I come back less than two hours after posting and I find out that the puppy and the child are dead!

Had to try to make a joke. Because what you wrote is true.

As for the diapers

Let's hope he gets the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Biden.

I mean absolutely no shade toward Stormy Daniels. She has shown intelligence, wit and integrity in my book.

I certainly can't support a person who would get their hands dirty like that when I have the paragon of truth and virtue available to suck up to. Who could even consider taking this guy's word on a situation above dear leader's?

Unfortunately 26% of our fellow citizens apparently. I fear for the world we're leaving for our children and grandchildren.

Dr. Fauci and Nancy Pelosi and many others are well into their 70's and still extremely competent in their fields. Don't let anyone tell you that our next President, Joe Biden, is too old to be President.

Fauci graduated first in Cornell Med School class of 1966. Trump paid a guy to take SAT for him.
