Five times during the COVID pandemic Dr. Anthony Fauci took time out of his incredibly busy schedule to share with “Conservations on Health Care” his latest insights. Now, he returns to reflect not only on COVID but also on the entire scope of his career, including his efforts to bring attention and resources to the AIDS fight in the 1980s. Dr. Fauci explains he had to speak truth to power during the pandemic in order “to preserve…professional integrity and to fulfill my responsibility to the American public.” He continues to focus on sharing “just the facts.” In terms of the current COVID situation, he says the virus persists and “has an uncanny capability of continuing to evolve…there’s a new variant now…that evades some of the protection from vaccines and prior infection.” Dr. Fauci’s autobiography, “On Call: A Doctor's Journey in Public Service,” takes readers through his life from growing up in Brooklyn to advising seven presidents through some of the world’s most harrowing health crises. Join Conversations on Health Care hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter for this important conversation with the most renowned and acclaimed physician and public health leader of our era, Dr. Fauci.

Dr. Anthony Fauci's pivotal role in the early stages of the nation's public health crisis cannot be understated. A recent CNN article highlights the stark contrast in approaches towards COVID-19 between countries. Australian authorities' proactive measures resulted in significantly lower death rates, saving approximately 79,000 lives compared to the USA's staggering toll of 1,000,000 deaths. The article suggests that under a different leadership, such as Donald Trump's, the US could have averted a substantial portion of these losses, potentially saving around 987,000 lives. This underscores the critical impact of effective public health strategies in mitigating the spread of infectious diseases and minimizing casualties. Despite facing criticism, it is crucial to rely on facts and data to assess the outcomes of public health interventions objectively. The resurgence of diseases like Polio and Measles serves as a stark reminder of the importance of sustained efforts in safeguarding public health for the greater good of the community. While challenges like allergic reactions and vaccine quality issues persist, they are inherent in the realm of public health. The journey towards a healthier society involves navigating such obstacles while prioritizing evidence-based practices and collective well-being.

Lessons learned, lessons shared👇 on the resiliance of science and the importance of unity in science: # Fauci stayed active during the early part of the Biden administration. He saw COVID-19 vaccines roll out and observed how quickly this new virus adapted, a fact that would continue to present challenges in the years to come. # He also realized that there are systemic weaknesses in the country's public health infrastructure, exacerbated by decades of neglect and underfunding. This includes outdated systems, local health professionals with insufficient means, and disparities in health care access that disproportionately affect minority and lower-income communities. All of this contributed to unnecessarily high mortality rates during the pandemic.

In public health, we know vaccines save lives. Thanks to new research, we can put an updated number of this achievement: 154 million lives saved. And we now know each vaccine added an average of 66 years of full health to the recipient. Working on population health issues, it can sometimes be difficult to see the positive impact our daily work has on our communities. But these data show that public health matters. If you're a public health professional, know that your work matters and together we can be a force multiplier for good health. Together our impact is greater!
