Dozens of scientists and medical professionals have signed a letter defending White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci after he faced fierce criticism from Republican lawmakers during a hearing earlier this week.
"We deplore the personal attacks on Dr. Fauci," the letter, obtained by Politico, said. "The criticism is inaccurate, unscientific, ill-founded in the facts and, increasingly, motivated by partisan politics. It is a distraction from what should be the national focus - working together to finally overcome a pandemic that is killing about 500,000 people a year."
It added that Fauci has "unswervingly served the United States guiding the country to very successful outcomes" and has the scientific community's "unreserved respect and trust as a scientist and a national leader."
The letter, which was initiated by former transition adviser to resident Biden Ezekiel Emanual and Cornell University's John Moore, features signatories including former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), three Nobel Laureates, the former president of Princeton University and many other high-ranking academics, doctors and scientists, according to Politico.
The support from the scientists came after Fauci had two tense exchanges with lawmakers at a hearing this week.
Fauci had a terse exchange with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), saying that the senator's personal attacks on him were putting the infectious diseases expert at risk.
"This happens all the time. You personally attack me, with absolutely not a shred of evidence of anything you say. So I would like to make something clear to the committee: You're doing this for political reasons," Fauci told Paul during a Senate Health Committee hearing about the omicron variant.

All murderers have a defense. This is fauci’s
Like the fifty who declared Hunter’s laptop to be Russian disinformation.
"Some Scientists and Some Medical Professionals..."
Be sure there is a dufuss in each coat first. No empty coats.
If FauxChi and his fellow scientists are so right about everything, then why do they keep changing their minds and why are deaths increasing? Exactly when did any of these so-called scientist actually do any science. About 98% of self proclaimed experts are just self promoters. If they are on TV, they have an agenda and all that time they are on TV they are not practicing there so-called expertise. It doesn’t matter if they are pimping medical, stock, energy, climate, economic, science or any other advice. The more they are TV the less they that are actually doing whatever they are supposed to be doing it for real.
Excellent
A list of names to add to the “Science Idiots” memory bank
Fauci helped create the virus, knew there were cures, and did everything in his power to prevent the cures from being used. He is a mass murderer and should be tried, convicted, and hanged.
We are witnessing the birth of a new religion, scientism.
Exactly .. I get all my information from unbiased sources such as "The Hill" and "Politico",
and I get all my medical information from middle-level politicians in medical agencies who marry their ethics supervisor,
and all my current events and intelligence from CNN and MSN who covered Hunters laptop with a blanket.
Now tell me that these participants are not biased since I don't want to be called : "deplorable".
I wonder how many supporting Fauci have grants or have applied for research grants from the NIH?
I’ll loudly second the Kennedy book recommendation; I’ve been listening to it as an audiobook, and plan to buy as many copies as I can manage. I want to hand them out to several people I know who have some science background, and just ask them for their honest assessment of the book, without any judgement on my part. I’m betting that I’m going to get some stunned reactions. I’m stunned myself, and I never trusted the little $#!+.
