It seems that Dr. Anthony Fauci has published a new scientific paper titled, HIV/AIDS and Covid-19: Shared Lessons From Two Pandemics, in which he shares eight lessons learned from the pandemics to help minimize the impact of future outbreaks.
The first lesson is simply to expect the unexpected.
The second lesson is that political leadership at the highest level is critical in pandemics. Fauci uses this lesson to dunk on President Trump for "minimizing the seriousness of the pandemic" and "repeatedly claiming COVID-19 would just go away."
Fauci goes on to knock Trump for not pushing masks and social distancing enough from his "bully pulpit" even though there was no science to support these recommendations.
He blames Trump for giving "credence" to "unproven and potentially dangerous substances" to treat covid, like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin... two safe and effective drugs that proved to be incredibly helpful, and even life-saving for many.
Fauci also repeats the false narrative that Trump told people to inject bleach to treat covid.
Trump had actually referenced a study that was shared with him by William Bryan, then the undersecretary for science and technology at the Department of Homeland Security. The study found disinfectants, like bleach, used on surfaces and in aerosols had an adverse effect on coronavirus. So Trump asked whether disinfectants could be used to potentially treat COVID, which seems a far cry from "giving credence" to bleach injections.
An interesting side note is that the CDC's Pink Book reveals at least one effective disinfectant (formaldehyde) is used in 28 different vaccines (e.g., DTaP, Hib, Hep A, Hep B, Influenza).
The third lesson is about using prior scientific advances as the foundation for successful pandemic preparedness and response. In this lesson Fauci celebrates the "highly adaptable mRNA vaccine platform, built on research reported in 2005."
Fauci has a rather ironic lesson on "misinformation and disinformation" in which he takes a swipe at Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test, for Mullis' alleged "AIDS denialism".
Interestingly, both Mullis and Fauci appeared in a must-see 2009 documentary called, House Of Numbers: Anatomy Of An Epidemic (HIV/AIDS), by Brett Leung, in which Leung attempts to answer questions like: What is HIV? and What is AIDS? But apparently just asking questions like this makes one an AIDS denialist.
Fauci complains about covid misinformation and disinformation propagating online, too, before claiming that 232,000 deaths "could have been prevented among unvaccinated individuals..." if they had just received at least one dose of an experimental gene therapy.
In the next lesson, Fauci pushes the false notion that covid "jumped species" from an animal to a human in the Wuhan market. That's why he says "increased attention to the human/animal interface is critical for pandemic prevention.
Of course, so is stopping gain-of-function research.
By the way, Trump's pick to head the National Institute of Health, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, offered his thoughts last year on Fauci's "Proximal Origin" paper which called the lab leak a conspiracy theory.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya talks about Dr. Anthony Fauci secretly crafting the "Proximal Origin" paper that dismissed the lab leak as a conspiracy theory:

Lesson number six is all about "inequities, health disparities, stigma, and discrimination" and why "equitable" vaccine distribution is important.
The seventh lesson is about community activism, and how activists emerged in both pandemics to share their "lived experiences." Like those with long covid, for instance.
The last lesson is that emerging infectious diseases are a perpetual challenge.
Especially infectious diseases that have been weaponized by gain-of-function research.
