Diseases have defined eras, from the Antonine Plague during Marcus Aurelius’ reign to the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Fauci, a public health leader and advisor to seven Presidents, talks with Ryan about the importance of social responsibility, his influential contributions during the HIV/AIDS crisis and COVID-19 pandemic, and the growing politicization of public health.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is a physician-scientist and immunologist, former NIAID Director, chief medical advisor to the president from 2021 to 2022, and author of On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service.
