White Coat Supremacist Anthony Fauci Still Wears Yellow Beret
In 1968, newly minted doctor joined NIH to dodge medical service with the U.S. military.
Excerpt:
...Fauci earned a medical degree at Cornell in 1966 but if he ever practiced medicine it was only for a short time. As Raymond S. Greenberg explains at Historynet.com, the mid-1960s were the days of “a compulsory draft of American physicians,” to serve in military hospitals in Vietnam. One of the few alternatives to that service was a position in the Public Health Service. Newly minted physicians could join the clinical associate program at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
These doctors were dubbed “Yellow Berets,” the opposite numbers of the special forces Green Beret troops in Vietnam. The Omens, a Detroit group, even wrote a song about it, “The Ballad of the Yellow Beret,” a parody of “Ballad of the Green Berets” by Sgt. Barry Sadler, a Special Forces medic who also treated the Montagnards and other civilians.
Instead of attending wounded American troops in Vietnam, Fauci joined the entering NIH clinical associate class of 1968. As Fauci told Greenberg, the yellow beret tag was “very much derogatory,” but the NIH recruit didn’t mind. “In general, the spirit on campus was much more a liberal leaning than a conservative leaning because that is generally the case with scientists.”
Fauci’s bio showed no advanced degrees in biochemistry or molecular biology but by 1984 the Yellow Beret was heading the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID). Back in the 1990s Nobel laureate Kary Mullis, inventor of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), said Fauci “doesn’t understand electron microscopy and he doesn’t understand medicine. He should not be in a position like he’s in.”
...In 1968, Anthony Fauci didn’t want to treat wounded American soldiers in Vietnam, so he opted for a cushy job with the NIH. In 2021, after 53 years in government, Fauci remains indifferent to the suffering of Americans, who can’t vote him out of office. Dr. Anthony Fauci may be the nation’s leading white coat supremacist but he still wears that yellow beret with pride.
