Dr Anthony Fauci’s dedication to public service is a must READ for everyone. Dr Fauci’s strength in being ON CALL, 24/7 service to ‘science, truth, rational decision making’ in March 2020, then at age 79 takes the reader—it’s a page turner!—to the days of COVID, 2020- 2023, the vaccine trials, drug development, ‘the new normal’; mask wearing, the shocking numbers of daily deaths, the DELTA variant, the tsunami of cases in January 2022, of one million a day. Dr Fauci’s book informs on what vaccines can and cannot do. Experiencing his life, in his voice—the details are powerfully extraordinary. This is a man, who ‘seemed to be constantly looking for an electrical outlet to recharge his cell phone’, whose loving caring wife saw to his health because living on 4 hours of sleep, requires eating regular meals and staying hydrated, to the Fauci family’s living in politicized D.C. day-to-day with the absolute necessity of having personal security to stay alive, to this very humane man’s caring for AIDS and Ebola patients as the hands-on personal doctor. The title: On Call A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service.
