To the editor: These of us who lived by means of the COVID-19 pandemic ought to take a second to recollect what that point was like: the quarantines, the day by day stories of mounting deaths and the profound anxiousness all of us felt — an anxiousness that also lingers for a lot of right this moment.
I keep in mind how comforting and reassuring it was to listen to Dr. Anthony Fauci and different educated medical consultants present frequent updates on advances in therapy and the event of lifesaving vaccines. Their experience, integrity and tireless dedication throughout a nationwide and international disaster unquestionably saved numerous lives and gave our nation purpose to be proud. Their honorable and selfless service for the great of the nation ought to stand for instance to us all.
To now see Fauci attacked and vilified by vindictive, self-serving politicians looking for private and political benefit is reprehensible (“Senate committee votes to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress over refusal to answer questions at COVID hearing,” Aug. 6). It dishonors not solely a devoted public servant, but additionally the ideas of experience, integrity and public service that guided our nation by means of considered one of its darkest intervals.
