has 24,000 followers and a pinned tweet that reads: “If you don’t have a crush on this man, do you even care about public health?”hit “Paparazzi” to rhyme with “Docta Fauci.” Her Instagram hit includes the line “Tony, there’s no other superstar except for Andy,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
“My father-in-law is an infectious disease doctor, and these guys are not about picking fights or the limelight,” Tracy says. “They’re about sharing information and guiding you. And no one’s better at that than Tony.” Fauci grew up in Brooklyn the grandson of Italian immigrants. His parents ran a pharmacy. He did deliveries on his bicycle, while his older sister Denise ran the register.
The experience was formative, says Eric Goosby, a distinguished professor of medicine at the University of California-San Francisco who met Fauci in the 1980s and has been a frequent guest at his friend’s pasta Bolognese dinners. Fauci’s role in the AIDS epidemic changed him. At first, he tackled the growing crisis with a measured, data-driven approach to trying to find a treatment. But that methodical tack infuriated gay activists watching friends die daily.
“A lot of us were nervous and scared of possible violence,” Goosby recalls. “But Tony looked at us and said: ‘This is our chance to learn about the frustrations of the community. It’s an opportunity for us to learn and serve.’ I’ll never forget that.
“He has always had a knack for telling it like it is, and letting the political chips fall where they may,” says Stanford’s Relman. “Don’t forget, Tony Fauci is a proud card-carrying New Yorker. He has a blunt, endearing and no-nonsense New York attitude, and I think Trump kind of gets that.”that flared in the wake of Fauci appearing to show exasperation at the president’s coronavirus remarks ended with Trump saying Fauci wasn’t going anywhere.
