Dr Fauci: follow the science
Dr Fauci, Dr Anthony Fauci, Edward Carr, Sasha Nauta
Former NIH Director Dr. Anthony Fauci reflected on his seven-presidency tenure and the unprecedented polarization he faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he prioritized scientific evidence over political alignment despite enduring misinformation and death threats. He described a toxic shift in public discourse that forced him to correct presidential claims, resulting in severe attacks from far-right groups and a disturbing rise in hostility toward the scientific community. Fauci concluded by urging the next generation of researchers to remain engaged in public service to counteract this erosion of institutional trust and objective fact.

In Search for a Cure: Are We Nearing a Treatment for COVID-19?
Dr Anthony Fauci, Albert Bourla, Esther Krofah, Meg Tirrell
Dr. Anthony Fauci and Pfizer executives outlined the current U.S. pandemic crisis, characterized by rising infections among young demographics and projected second-wave risks in the fall due to premature reopening and asymptomatic spread. While addressing safety protocols like sample pooling for testing and the inclusion of vulnerable populations in trials, Pfizer anticipates initiating Phase 3 trials in July with a potential vaccine rollout by late 2020 or early 2021. Simultaneously, clinical guidelines have been updated to include dexamethasone for severe cases, though experts emphasize that continued public health measures remain essential until herd immunity is achieved.
