“Today, according to his official NIAID bio, he is “author, coauthor, or editor of more than 1,300 scientific publications, including several textbooks.” This would be extremely impressive in any case, but remember we’re talking about someone who for the past 36 years was supposed to be working full-time as an administrator when he’s not throwing first pitches, not doing individual research. As one can see by entering Fauci’s name in PubMed, the government’s archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature, there are simply too many papers listing Fauci on too many disparate subjects, and too often as lead researcher. (Note: For medical journal papers the lead researcher is listed last.) Some papers that list him as lead researcher are of labor-intensive clinical trials.”
A good project for someone with some time, would be to develop a spreadsheet of articles co-authored by Fauci and then to compare this number to the number of articles authored by leading, well-published medical researchers who have been strictly researchers for the vast majority of their careers and to those doctors who have combined roles as researchers, teachers and administrators in medical education programs, and have had a stint as practitioners.
Maybe there is actually a study out there on the average number on studies authored by the types of medical professionals who would be considered Fauci’s peers.
If the average number is something like 150 for people who have a career about 40 years long, with a few people at the highest end maybe having authored or co-authored 200 articles, then something is really wrong if Fauci’s number is 5x that amount.
Just for fun, I looked up Mehmet Oz in PubMed. 188 results.
And I’m not sure how many articles were authored by another Mehmet Oz (some appear to have been a different person with the same name because all the other authors looked to be Finnish or something) or where one author had the last name Oz and another had the first name Mehmet.
