The pandemic put infectious diseases doctors in the spotlight. The 'Fauci Effect' raised the number of fellowship applicants in 2020, but this year almost half of the training programs went unfilled.

, an infectious diseases physician at UC Irvine, tweeted."My student debt isn't going anywhere. Don't regret my choice but don't fault anyone for not choosing it either."

Infectious diseases doctors, on the other hand, examine and interview patients and consult with colleagues –"we think for a living," Pottinger, at the University of Washington, says,"Andbecause we don't have a surgery to do, I think that's where this legacy of reduced pay has come from."," Pottinger says."There's plenty of money in it, both in academic [settings] and in private practice, and our pay is rising over time.

The current class of doctors largely started their post-graduate residencies in the summer of 2020. All of their training happened during the COVID pandemic, Bourque from Boston Medical Center notes. The long hours and poor work-life balance they observed in ID doctors – andthe field in droves due to burnout – may have cut the appeal."Long hours and low pay are a dreadful combination," del Rio says.

Worked pretty well for the FIFA announcer whose wife was an infectious disease specialist… not.

You mean they don't want to be held accountable for their conflicts of interest or their lies to the public? That effect?

Because they don’t actually study science and walk around just barking at people to wear masks and insisting monkeypox isn’t sexually transmitted?

Medical students saw how people like Fauci abused their positions and politicians placed ideology ahead of the scientific method and they walked away. The federal bureaucracy surrounding medical research and public health needs an overhaul from the ground up, or be abolished.

in california I've talked to people who are more afraid of going to med school here because they don't want their licenses stripped for spreading 'misinformation.' in other words, for actual doctoring and not blind obedience to policy.

I just spoke with someone who had a friend who did pediatric ID. She had to leave the field because insurance reimbursement rates made it impossible to sustain their practice.

The real reason that applicants are declining is possibly an effect of Republicans threatening people in that field with imprisonment or even worse. Who wants to enter a field where idiots feel free to threaten you and your family. It is just not worth it.

They don't want to get hate speech, mail and threats?
