Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former top U.S. infectious disease expert, spent time in the hospital after being infected with West Nile virus and is now recovering at home, a spokesperson confirmed Saturday.

    Dr. Fauci rocks and I gratefully appreciate how he was there for us all during a difficult time.

        For me he made me feel better not scared because I knew someone who knew what they were talking about was in the room.

        He came on tv and explained what all the research was saying in a way that I think most people could digest and understand. When it became clear that masks were a huge help in stopping the spread I was definitely relieved because before then we were just guessing.

        It’s unfortunate that the news he shared wasn’t what people wanted to hear and it required us to make sacrifices that none of us wanted.

        We learned a lot.

          Lol censor since brainwashed so badly, are you still convinced there are WMDs in Iraq?

              Maybe if you keep believing it will become true

    who said he was likely infected from a mosquito bite that he got in his backyard.

    “Dr. Fauci was hospitalized about ten days ago after developing fever, chills, and severe fatigue,” the post on X said. It said Fauci spent a week in the hospital.

    Little known fact but epidemiologists have to test every known infectious disease on themselves to understand their effects.

    Wishing the best to Dr Fauci, he was certainly better than the clown we had here, Anders Tegnell

      That’ll keep those pesky mosquitos away!

        Actually, it might. I thought mosquitos were attracted to the co2 from our breath. So the masks might help reduce how far they can smell you.

          That’s an old wive’s tale, it’s the heat you radiate.

            Not a wives tale. That how mosquito traps are made is by burning a small flame of propane to generate co2 and heat. And then a small fan blows air into a net faster than they can fly so they get trapped in the bag and dry out

      Not sure if you were intentionally making a joke knowing it’s spread via contact/mosquitos, or just really dumb.

      Either way, I chuckled.

    Former Chief Medical Advisor to the President of United States, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a physician-scientist and an immunologist but he gets sick?

    There’s something fishy here.
