I don't know if people realize how incredible a scholar Anthony Fauci is. He has an H-index of 221 (in medicine, >50 or above is highly accomplished, >100 is extraordinary, and >200 is stratospheric, achieved by <100 scholars in the world). His work has been cited 217,943 times.

How he has accomplished this while running the NIAID, advising presidents, saying yes to approx 99% of speaking engagements thrown at him, taking a daily run/walk, and showing many kindnesses to students and mentees, is completely beyond me.

What I do know is that you'd better be on pretty solid f*cking ground if you're going to claim wisdom on this pandemic that exceeds his. And the fact that he needs a security detail is one of the most shameful things to come out of this miserable time.
