Reacting to the Fauci Documentary Trailer

• 58:09Tim credits Fauci with doing good work on the AIDS response based on what epidemiologists have told him.
• 58:29Calling Fauci a klutz is being nice; meaner people would call him a liar who twisted the truth.
• 59:00The documentary shows Fauci's quote about not doing it for money or glory, which Tim says demonstrates massive failure.
• 59:38Anyone working in disease prevention is always going to fail because you can't stop disease entirely.
• 1:00:00Fauci is like people who work at poverty centers—they need poverty to exist to justify their jobs, and similarly disease workers need disease.
• 1:00:38Tim pitches a Disney animated thing where Fauci admits "a little bit makes everything work" while doing gain-of-function research with needles in the background.
• 1:01:03Laura, who opened for Tim in Boston and works at Harvard, loves Fauci, so he knows those people exist.
• 1:01:19Tim doesn't trust someone who looks like him talking about health, and certainly doesn't trust "Mr. Meatball."
