23, July 2020 The Odd Couple
A fascinating battle
is ensuing between the diminutive lightweight intellectual giant Dr. Fauci, and
the heavyweight “genius” challenger, Donald Trump, who outsourced much of his
academic work earning a MD (master of deceit) degree.
The good doctor
follows the Hippocratic Oath (HO), “first do no harm,” and has an approval
rating over 65% in spite of a chronic shortage of sleep because of demands on
his time by round-the clock media interviews. His opinions are dictated by a
close adherence to clinical data. On the hand the President flaunts the HO and
continues to burden the American people with incoherent nixed messages which
require an army of “cut and paste” specialists to interpret “Trump-Speak”. His
most ardent admirer is the ultra-Christian VP Pence who regurgitates Trump’s
words with dogged loyalty. Jesus would be so proud!
Trump follows the
dictates of his reelection strategy and has shown his willingness to run
roughshod over medical science. According to the NYT and other reliable media
reports, the President rises at noon exhausted from late night tweets and
haunted by FOX news reports and bizarre conspiracy theories.After a fractious
week, the former reality-show star gleefully retweeted “we shouldn’t trust doctors
about Covid-19”.
In a further effort
to blunt and undermine Fauci’s authority, Peter Navarro, Trump’s trade adviser,
assailed Fauci as being Dr. Wrong, It is amazing that Fauci unlike other WH
officials seems to have an impregnable integrity shield deflecting hurtful
verbal jabs always staying on message. Bravo Dr. Fauci!
