it really does… ultimately shine a very bright light on some of the real weaknesses and foibles in our society,” Fauci said Tuesday at a White House press conference.
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, said “as some of you know the greater proportion of my professional career has been defined by HIV/AIDS.”
He continued: “And if you go back then during that period of time when there was extraordinary stigma particularly against the gay community.
“And it was only when the world realized how the gay community responded to this outbreak with incredible courage and dignity and strength and activism —I think that really changed some of the stigma against the gay community. Very much so.”
African-Americans dying at greater rates from COVID-19 could be a similar moment, he said.
“I see a similarity here because health disparities have always existed for the African-American community,” Fauci said.
“Here again with the crisis, how it’s shining a bright light on how unacceptable that is because, yet again, when you have a situation like the coronavirus they are suffering disproportionately.
NYC, state vow to release coronavirus data along racial lines “As Dr. Birx said correctly, it’s not that they are getting infected more often, it’s that when they do get infected their underlying medical conditions — the diabetes, hypertension, the obesity, the asthma — those are the kind of things that wind them up in the ICU and ultimately give him a higher death rate.”
Fauci said, “when all this is over and, as we said, it will end, we will get over coronavirus, but there will still be health disparities which we really do need to address in the African American community.”

Can’t Fauxcy just send more money to the H->! campaign to fix this?
doc faux loves to hear himself speak.
doc faux is so full of hot air it's a wonder he doesn't float away.
Liberals do that all the time. They say homosexuals are discriminated like blacks are.
Dr. Fauci is a SJW fool that needs to be booted offstage yesterday.
Trump will fire this clown before the summer. This idiot along with Hillary lover Brix. Both dick state doctors had their fun..
Tomorrows headlines:
Trump, in collusion with China designed Covid19 to kill gays and minorities.
There is plenty to chew on already without turning this into a race issue.
This guy. I have had my fill of this rat mole. If this thing goes way down in the summer l hope Trump takes the opportunity to replace him with someone who isn’t in love with HRC.
Let’s see...
diabetes - largely bad diet
hypertension - largely bad diet and little exercise (but you CAN thank Mom & Dad)
obesity - diet and little exercise
asthma - smoking
Is there ANYTHING, anything at all, that people could do to avoid these diseases? Maybe if the federal government redoubled their efforts to tell us how to lead our lives.
Actually almost every chronic condition is genetic predisposition which can be somewhat altered by behavior. Your statements way too over simplify.
Why hasn’t Dr Death and Bill Gates cured AIDs?
Where’s that AIDS vaccine you promise, Falsey?
And pretty much all races will be blamed by the MSM except for the Chinese.
Once again, Comrade Fauci proves that he is much more leftist politician than he is scientist.
One thing the Nanny State could do rather easily is restrict food stamps to meat, vegetables and dairy only.
