Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, addresses a briefing on the latest information about the Coronavirus Friday, Jan. 31, 2020 at the White House.
Dr. Anthony Fauci became a household name during the Covid-19 pandemic.
To many, he was a hero for his efforts to relay potentially lifesaving information. But he also found himself at the center of conspiracy theories — and became the target of a vitriolic political backlash.
He says of the experience that it was “very painful and tragic to see people make decisions that led to their detriment.”
Dr. Fauci served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 to 2022. He has advised seven presidents, guiding the nation’s response to threats like Zika, Ebola, AIDS, and Anthrax. His work on a 2003 plan to address the global HIV/AIDS crisis helped save more than twenty-five million lives.
Dr. Fauci’s new memoir is titled “On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service”. He joins Diane to talk about his career in public health and share his thoughts on the threats ahead.
