Correction: At 4:28, a previous version of this video read "Federal Drug Administration." It should read "Food and Drug Administration."
Dr. Anthony Fauci has become one of the most recognizable faces of the United States’ coronavirus response, as a member of the Coronavirus Task Force and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. But it was an earlier crisis that shaped his career — and that’s crucial to understand his position today.
As the above video shows, Dr. Fauci’s involvement in the AIDS crisis, from the virus’s discovery to the present day, has affected the course of his career and the way the disease is treated around the world. That history, in turn, informs how we learn about and treat the coronavirus today.
In addition to scientific progress, AIDS also necessitated bureaucratic changes in the government response to the disease. By negotiating these challenges, Dr. Fauci secured his place in the public health system and changed how AIDS was treated.
Further Reading:
A topic as broad as the AIDS crisis, even narrowed to Dr. Fauci’s involvement, could have an endless reading list, from primary sources like ACT UP’s historical archive (https://actupny.org/documents/nyplPR.html) or one of Dr. Fauci’s early lectures on AIDs https://collections.nlm.nih.gov/catalog/nlm:nlmuid-101674642-vid.
However, these books provide particularly useful context on a complex story.
