“The hostility towards scientists that hampered #America’s #coronavirus response was not as prevalent in #Australia, Fauci said, but warned the politics of divisiveness would always appeal to the minority who were sceptical of the science.
“Those who promote #falsehoods and #disinformation can always find some outlier of a scientist or some #outlier of a public health person to get up in front of a hearing or in front of the television and say something that’s absolutely not true.”
In a #JournalofInfectiousDiseases article, yet to be published, #Fauci outlines 10 lessons from #COVID19 for #pandemic preparedness.
“The scientific approach, the preparation, with new platform technologies, and new imaging design was a resounding success story,” he said. “Our #PublicHealth response, not so much.”
“History has taught us, Fauci said, that the collective memory of events such as pandemics fades over time, and he remains sceptical that the public and policymakers will take the appropriate lessons from COVID-19.”
