Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford and Dr. Martin Kulldorff of Harvard are not so impressed with Dr. Fauci.
Over his career, nobody has ever called out Fauci over his mistakes, but Trump has had no problem doing that.
Fauci has made numerous statements during this pandemic that are contradictory to many of the positions he holds today.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and Dr. Martin Kulldorff are now openly challenging Fauci.
Kulldorff stated, “Dr. Fauci is an esteemed immunologist, but in infectious diseases there are different areas of expertise.
“If you want to decide how to deal with a pandemic at the population level, then you need to know about infectious disease outbreaks and how they operate in society and how it spreads from person to person, sort of the population dynamics.
“And you need to know the infectious-disease epidemiology, and that is something that I have been studying for many decades, but it is not an area of expertise of Dr. Fauci.
“It is surprising to me that he makes such statements on the epidemiology of the pandemic, which, to be honest, he has made a number of erroneous statements on this aspect.
“So that reduces the trust in public health again when people hear that and then realize that that was wrong.”
Bhattacharya added, “I think he just doesn’t understand it. I mean he’s characterized it as a strategy of letting [the virus] rip.
“That’s just a complete mischaracterization and in a way it makes me really sad because I do respect him as a leader in immunology, so to hear him mischaracterize these ideas which involve protecting vulnerable people and thinking carefully about the harms of the lockdown and what that implies to write policy. I think is just a great mistake on his part.”
