Dr. Anthony Fauci became the public face of the United States government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic – a role he describes as "communicator in chief." Many hail him as a hero for his leadership during that time. But some others have cast him as a villain, leading to public and political attacks. Since stepping down from his decades-long role as a public health official and chief medical advisor to the president, he's now reflecting on his frontline scientific career from the AIDS crisis to COVID.
