, came along, it was almost uniformly fatal. But when Fauci started working on it, he was also called to consult for cancer chemotherapy patients at the National Cancer Institute, just on their treatment — because they get very powerful [toxic drugs], and it suppresses their immune system. So doctors like Fauci were experts on the immune system, and when he saw a bunch of that, a weird thing occurred to him, which is: The vasculitis patients have overactive immune systems.
On how activists initially blamed Fauci for the slow pace of HIV/AIDS drug trials when he became the head of NIAID in 1984 Basically, drug trials, for a long time, have undergone a particular system where you try a drug over a period of time in a small group of people who are healthy, to see if it's safe, if it has side effects, if it would harm you. Once that's done, and it can take a while, you then move to another level of testing called Phase II, where you test a small group of people to see if it's effective.
In 1989, Fauci and then-U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Louis W. Sullivan announced results of studies showing that the antiviral drug AZT had delayed the onset of disease in some people with HIV.In 1989, Fauci and then-U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Louis W.

Fauci, once he understood that the activists weren't saying,"Let's get rid of the whole system,' but, [rather], 'Let's open it up a bit so that we can have some relief while we press on to get the ultimate answer.'"He said,"Jesus, that makes perfect sense." And he proposed something called"parallel track," which was these sort of two systems — the old system and the new melded in. And that's what was adopted, and it worked.

trump is a pitiful disgrace to our country and the very worst leader of all time of any country not just ours
Fauci was really attempting to pull the genome from HIV/AIDS so the super virus known as covid-19 can be made. Fauci is responsible for this insanity.

Fauci the false messiah the actual brains behind spreading the covid19 and shutting the world down
Can we crop Trump out of this photo
AnthonyFauciUSA Now the president got him
Meanwhile president dump shits on data and facts while in the same room as Dr. Fauci.
Trump hates science and medical expertise. And anyone who upstages him on a national level. Notice the eyes of the man in the background. Those aren't happy eyes.
Is anybody else offended by this? It's MY fault that you got Covid_19 ? OK, I have been self-isolating for over a month, actually it is YOUR fault and YOUR behavior and lifestyle decisions are why you have coronavirus
😍
A few new idioms, oxymorons and puns for 2020. You've Been Faucied
Look at that smalldickhead in the back firstAmendment natural_rights John_Loc
This is the doctor the Trump cult want to “fire” as they pick up on hints from the cult leader. Absurd.
Dr. Fauci is an American Patriot. He took the Hippocratic Oath and has upheld it to the highest standard. The Presidential Oath is a different Oath.
Wasn't this after he met with Act-up and other activists and was called out for his weak response? I mean he did good but he did not lead on HIV/AIDS. But once he followed, he did well. Act Up and others changed the face of medicine.
I like and trust this man!
Point being....?
Well, ok. Then why doesn’t he go tell Trump to stand in the corner and keep quiet? We all need sound reasonable publicly available medical advice unpolluted by campaign hoopla and rhetoric.
You must be reading my Tweets.
And I think it’s pertinent to point out that Dr. Birx was in the GWB administration and helped with the AIDS/HIV initiative.
Some nazis like him fired though
And yet now he wants to wait for clinical trials of a new expensive drug before we try to save lives with a generic, 30 year old treatment.
Good job fauci!
The man has my respect - No more politics let the medical professionals do their job
he's always gotta fight republicans to do the right thing, weird
Now he’s changing economics lol
