ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Dr. Anthony Fauci, in an interview with @nytmag, wrestles with the hard lessons of the pandemic — and the decisions that will define his legacy in public health. This January, the month after Fauci retired as the four-decade head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, barely half of Americans said they trusted the country’s public-health institutions to manage a future pandemic. There were mistakes and missteps, including some by Fauci: describing the threat to the country as “minuscule” in February 2020, or first advising against wearing masks. But three years on, whether you are focused on the direct carnage or on the collateral damage of Covid, it seems irrational to pin the pandemic’s brutality on policy failures, however much Americans want to put the blame somewhere. Or on someone like Fauci. “When people say, ‘Fauci shut down the economy’ — it wasn’t Fauci,” he said in an interview with The New York Times. “The CDC was the organization that made those recommendations. I happened to be perceived as the personification of the recommendations. But show me a school that I shut down and show me a factory that I shut down. Never. I never did. I gave a public-health recommendation that echoed the CDC’s recommendation, and people made a decision based on that.” Read the full conversation at the link in our bio.
