    found this gem on FB today

    [COLOR=var(--primary-text)]Jeff Coleman





    “The man who would lead the fight against this dreaded disease (AIDS) came from an Italian American family in Brooklyn. Even as a boy, Tony was distinguished by his courage. In a neighborhood full of Brooklyn Dodgers fans -- (laughter) -- he rooted for the Yankees. (Laughter.) Tony earned a full scholarship to Regis High School, a Jesuit school in Manhattan. And he still quotes what he learned from Jesuit teaching: "Precision of thought, economy of expression." And now you know why he never ran for public office. (Laughter.)

    Those who know Tony do admit one flaw: sometimes he forgets to stop working. He regularly puts in 80-hour weeks. And from time to time, he's even found notes on his windshield left by coworkers that say things like, "Go home. You're making me feel guilty." (Laughter.) A friend once commented that Tony was so obsessed with work that his wife must be a pretty patient woman. The truth of the matter is, she's very busy herself. Christine Grady is a renowned bioethicist. And together they raised three talented daughters: Jennifer, Meghan, and Allison. And I hope each of you know that for all Tony has accomplished, he considers you to be one of his -- not one of his -- his most important achievement. Your love and support have strengthened him as he works to save lives across the world.
    For his determined and aggressive efforts to help others live longer and healthier lives, I'm proud to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Dr. Anthony S. Fauci.” —President George W. Bush[/COLOR]

    It is government. They frequently reward failures.

    Fauci never gave us a vaccine or treatment for Aids. In fact, Fauci never gave us a vaccine.

    No doubt Fauci is a smart scientist but Napoleon Complex took over his persona.

    It reminds me of the local Bar Association. I have been to two (2) bar association meetings in nearly 36 years of practice. Both times, all it turned into was a plaque fest. 'I'd like to honor so and so for doing whatnot with this fine plaque'

    Nothing else. Just plaques, plaques and more plaques. Oh, and dinner and drinks.
