Dr. Marty Makary writes on the public health risk of putting America’s fate in the hands of one doctor. Dr. Markery himself is no slouch, Dr. Makary is the chief of Islet Transplant Surgery at Johns Hopkins and is the recipient of the Nobility in Science Award from the National Pancreas Foundation. He has been a visiting professor at over 25 medical schools, has published over 250 peer-reviewed scientific articles, and has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine. A graduate of Bucknell, Thomas Jefferson, and Harvard Universities, he completed his surgical residency at Georgetown University and his specialty training at Johns Hopkins Hospital. is in a position to analyze the Covid 19 debacle. However, I disagree entirely with Dr. Makary's opinion.
Anthony Fauci was brought into the spotlight by then President Donald Trump in 2020 at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. At times it was obvious he did not agree with Mr Trump's opinions and edicts.

Here, on the last day of 2023 some are casting stones at Anthony Fauci, who today ends a long life of dedication to advising many Presidents, Republican and Democratic..
Perhaps he should have retired at age 65. The National Institute of Health does not have a mandatory retirement age. Many scientists have worked their entire lives and are brilliant investigators. Not only do they research, they also teach and act as mentors to fellows, and medical students, advising others. The NIH has many divisions including Fauci's (the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Most of them only receive an appointment to NIH as gifted scholars after a very competitive application process. Many of them come from prestigious research universities, such as UCLA, Harvard, MIT, They have all demonstrated proficiency in publishing peer reviewed articles while they were. undergraduates, either in college and/or medical school. Many are combined MD/PhD candidates. Most are still very productive and creative. They mentor younger minds and guide their scientific journey at NIH.
