According to Dr. Chin-Hong, Dr. Fauci speaks "plain science, stark and raw in its directness," which is why we should value him. "The narrative of an uncontrolled and accelerating COVID-19 epidemic that Fauci paints is at odds with the increasing urgency by some in the administration of a rapid return to opening the country’s economy. In recent times, the divergence between the two sides is only becoming more accentuated, hence the seismic shift in the way Dr. Fauci is viewed by some."
Dr. Chin-Hong also stressed that Dr. Fauci and the information that he shares is very reliable. "From a scientific [perspective], the information that Dr. Fauci conveys is completely reliable. Dr. Fauci is a national treasure, an unflappable scientist himself and a mentor to all of us on the front lines and in the community. May we not lose his voice of reason and data driven recommendations in the weeks to come. We need him more than ever."
