Top infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci was awarded for his work fighting the global HIV/AIDS crisis during a virtual ceremony hosted by the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition on Tuesday.
Elton John, who has been an advocate for preventing HIV/AIDS infections and ending the stigma surrounding them through his nonprofit, presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Fauci during the ceremony on World AIDS Day and praised him for helping others.
“There are very few people on this planet who have dedicated themselves to a lifetime of service to save millions of lives like Dr. Fauci,” the singer said, according to CNN. “His unwavering commitment to public health and innovation has transformed the approach to HIV. And it is his leadership and persistence that will ultimately help us overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.”

I have a friend who contracted HIV back when treatment options were few. She says she owes her life to Dr. Fauci and the work he has done. That work has led to the development of better treatments which have kept her alive for over 30 years. 30 plus years she might not have had otherwise.
But the Trump cult will continue to ignore and demean him because their leader said so.
