“She’s very well-liked. She’s a really good person. I think she’s going to do a really good job.”
That was Dr. Anthony Fauci on Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The National Institutes of Health recently named Marrazzo as the new director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which Fauci headed from 1984 to 2023.
A Harvard biology grad, Marrazzo earned a medical degree at Jefferson Medical College and a master’s in public health from the University of Washington. Like Dr. Fauci, her bio shows no advanced degrees in molecular biology or biochemistry, but during the Covid pandemic, Dr. Marrazzo took a high-profile role.
In an April 17, 2020 session on C-SPAN, Dr. Marrazzo lamented the “wild fluctuations in the models” but said she was “not a modeler.” She recommended the CDC website for both the public and health professionals. In her opinion, the Washington Post was another “fantastic source.”
In a June 2020 video, Dr. Marrazzo donned a white lab coat and touted masks as a way to control the pandemic. If “physical distancing” was also applied, that would help “shut down community transmission.” In October, 2020, Dr. Marrazzo contended that “wearing a mask is very effective” and the single best thing people could do to prevent COVID-19.
On Halloween, kids could trick-or-treat if they wore masks and practiced social distancing. As Thanksgiving 2020 approached, Dr. Marrazzo said “the safest thing is not to gather in groups that you have not been cohorting with.” That applies in “gyms, bars and churches” and “singing is a great way to share this virus.” According to Marrazzo, a negative PCR test was “not a passport, not definitive.” People could be “asymptomatic” and still pass on COVID-19.
In 2021, Dr. Marrazzo said Covid vaccines, masking and social distancing “do actually work.” She lamented “lingering damage from the last lockdown,” but wearing masks was “the only way to keep kids in school and keep them safe and particularly, to keep schools open.”
Dr. Marrazzo has been quiet about the number of Covid patients she treated, but as with Dr. Fauci a ballpark figure is probably zero. Marrazzo’s specialty is sexually transmitted infections, especially as they affect women. Her research interests include pathogenesis and management of bacterial vaginosis, sexually transmitted diseases in HIV-infected persons, and management of antibiotic resistance in gonorrhea.
Dr. Marrazzo is co-author of “Sexually transmitted infections and female reproductive health.” The paper, published last year, contends that “women are disproportionately affected by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) throughout life.”
Dr. Marrazzo also promotes “health equity,” which the CDC defines as “the state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health.” Read further and you find “social determinants of health inequalities,” “racism as a threat to public health,” and so on. Health equity is not medical science, but Dr. Marrazzo is a big fan.
In a 2021 interview with Todd Unger of the American Medical Association, Dr. Marrazzo said health equity “should be part of every physician’s training because most physicians in training are very privileged people.” Marrazzo’s strategies for improving health equity include “naming chief diversity officers, equity officers,” and other steps that “increase representation.”
As new studies contend, wearing masks can be harmful, particularly for children. Dr. Marrazzo has not exactly gone public with any second thoughts. The subject of vaccine injuries does not appear to interest the new NIAID boss, and her views on the origin of Covid are hard to find.
Dr. Fauci, who claims to represent science, contended that the virus arose naturally in the wild, a matter of speculation, not science. The FBI believes the likely source was a laboratory in Wuhan, China. Dr. Fauci funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology to conduct gain-of-function research, which makes viruses more lethal and transmissible.
Dr. Marrazzo’s views on the dangerous practice, once banned by the NIH, would be an interesting question for a confirmation hearing. Unfortunately, no such hearing will take place. Marrazzo is the pick of acting NIH boss Lawrence Tabak, and that settles it.
A dutiful bureaucrat and diversity drone will command a budget of $6.3 billion, with 21 laboratories and NIAID funding activities in 133 countries. With all that money and influence, there appears to be no limit on the term of the NIAID director. Dr. Anthony Fauci, in government since 1968, ruled the roost for nearly 40 years, controlling public health policy and funding for medical research. That dangerous concentration of power calls for change.
The NIAID director should be subjected to confirmation hearings and a vote of the Senate. Congress should limit the NIAID director to a single four-year term and hold the director to account for all actions in office. All NIAID grants should be posted on the internet in real time and downloadable form. Absent these reforms, NIAID will be the same as under old boss Fauci, now the subject of an official criminal referral by Sen. Rand Paul.
White coat supremacy poses a clear and present danger to the people. White coat supremacy succession is now inherent in the system.
“ Dr. Fauci funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology to conduct gain-of-function research, which makes viruses more lethal and transmissible.”
And illegal in America and Europe but don’t shout too loud about that.
Basically we can find and replace Fauci with her name which I’ve instantly forgotten.
And she will work with the DOD to create gain of function viruses to drop on the American people too.
If “she’s doing a good job” per Fauci………..translation > she likes murder as much as me……and pharma profits too.
Memorized narratives without understanding science.
Put a lab coat on a fool to make ’em look smart.
Jug-eared Barry understood that cheap ploy, and as such, handed out white lab coats to a gaggle of “experts” on the White House lawn for a photo-op.
America still rejected socialized health-care (as did congress, their staff, unions, and Obama – at exemptions were put in place). But they forced it on us anyway.
Hey Marrazzo….lose the blue glasses. You look like an elitist idiot.
Fauci’s successor is another phony doctor and scientist who is really a social justice warrior
Meet the new boss same as the old boss.
I think that if Trump were elected, and perhaps another conservative candidate with sincere promises that she or he will carry out, then this dictatorship of medicine might be ended. With Joe and other Obama type candidates less likely
Another ” Crazier than a $h!t house rat ” Libtard !!!
Per Capita death rates from COVID were up to 300% higher in red states than in blue states
Masking and vaccination eorked
Data please comrade
Another United Nations misinformation troll?
Make sure you’re boosted regularly, and wear your face diaper. It lets those around you know you’re a brainwashed fool, and apt to do other stupid things.
where is the outrage of white privilege ? another bureaucrat on a never ending gravy train . same horse different rider .
Fundamentally, it just looks very stupid to me that publicly-funded organizations would be allowed the power to choose their own upper management.
The opportunities for and risks of “succession bias” should, in itself, be reason enough to forbid such practice.
So, I’m curious as to how this practice started and why it’s been allowed to continue.
The candidates for top jobs in the NIH and CDC should be questioned by Congress and then voted on. We don’t need Fauci’s friends being appointed! Better to hire an expert from another institution who has no ties to the NIH.
These people running NIAID are literally insane. Common sense tells you there is no good overriding compelling reason to make an infectious virus more infectious in a lab. Yet that is what these “geniuses” did and are still doing. They are playing god with humanity, and it won’t end well.
They’re coming to take us away, haha.
