Fauci Awarded $1 Million Israeli Prize For 'Speaking Truth To Power' Amid Pandemic
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb
That little Fauci got his own jet airplane
That little Fauci, he's a millionaire
Actually, this news is a little stale being dated February 15th 2021 but I just came across it today. The slightly adapted lyrics from Dire Straits 1985 song "Money for Nothing" seem peculiarly appropriate. The article whose headline appears above goes on to say:
America's top infectious disease official Dr. Anthony Fauci received a prestigious $1 million Israeli prize Monday, along with six other researchers who shared two additional $1 million prizes for their contributions to health and medicine.
The Dan David Prize, affiliated with Tel Aviv University, said it honoured Fauci for his career in public health and "speaking truth to power" during the politicised COVID-19 crisis.
Fauci "is the consummate model of leadership and impact in public health," the awards committee said in a statement.
The award sets aside 10% of the prize money for academic scholarships in each winner's field. Fauci gets to determine the nature of the scholarships.
Fauci has been director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the U.S. National Institutes of Health since 1984, advising seven presidents on domestic and global health issues.
His research into HIV helped develop treatments to enable carriers of the virus to live long lives. In 2003, he helped launch the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief under the George W. Bush administration, which the NIH credits with saving millions of lives in the developing world.
Fauci became a household name in the U.S. after appearing in televised presidential briefings on the coronavirus. He was a trusted authority for the public on preventive measures against COVID-19, even as former President Donald Trump downplayed the virus and blocked Fauci from appearing on several television programs. Trump called Fauci part of a group of "idiots" and suggested he might fire him after the presidential election, which Trump lost.
"As the COVID-19 pandemic unraveled, (Fauci) leveraged his considerable communication skills to address people gripped by fear and anxiety and worked relentlessly to inform individuals in the United States and elsewhere about the public health measures essential for containing the pandemic's spread," the awards committee said. "In addition, he has been widely praised for his courage in speaking truth to power in a highly charged political environment."
The Dan David Prize, established by the late Italian Israeli philanthropist Dan David, annually awards three prizes of $1 million honouring contributions to knowledge of the past, contributions to society in the present and advances for the future.
This year the three awards focused on health and medicine.
Fauci is to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as J. Edgar Hoover was to the FBI. Hoover was the director of the FBI for 37 years until his death aged 77. As of 2021, Fauci has been director of his Institute for 37 years. Fauci was born on December 24th 1940 and is now 80 years old. The little creep began his tenure overseeing the fake HIV crisis in the 80s and 90s and he is currently overseeing the fake Covid crisis.
Clearly, it's suited the powers that be to keep him in his sinecure so that he can be seen to radiate an image of grandfatherly concern for the muzzled masses as they wait in line for their "Fauci Ouchie".
It's certainly fitting that the award for the world's greatest fraud should be associated with the world's most dangerous country. In their different ways, they have done a great deal to make the world a more miserable place. "Speaking Truth to Power" is better phrased as "Spreading Lies to Disempower" as what little "power" the citizens of the world once had has now been taken away.
