We see one-off cases that we can’t explain with every virus.
Those words came out of the mouth of the vaunted Dr. Anthony Fauci.
You guys vilifying Fauci is kind of silly. He’s a nobody. Without this illness he would have remained a nobody. Sure he is a successful bureaucratic politician who has climbed to the pinnacle of his little world, which frankly, is the most inconsequential community in Medicine (until you get a pandemic). His is the specialty a Medical Student goes into when you don’t see patients, don’t want to see patients, don’t want to do a Residency that requires a lot of “overnight opportunities to learn”. It requires only a 2 year Fellowship at Johns Hopkins in “Public Health” where all you do is write papers. The only “patients” Fauci has ever seen are the photo ops in foreign countries.
Radiology is what you chose if you don’t like Patients but don’t mind the “overnight opportunities” and Pathology is what you do if you prefer dead people to living ones. Psychiatry is a good fit for people who are crazy themselves.
Turning Fauci into a Bond Villain is kind of funny when you think about it.
The people on Active Duty in Fauci’s Field can’t find enough work in normal times to stay busy so what they usually do is repatriate bodies from Viet Nam and Korea.
And i. this case he is right. People with covid are hyoercoagulable but overt clinical clot is rare. The other problem is with the virus as widespread as it is you are highly likely to find someone with something weird that also has the virus incidentally and not necessarily related
