Maybe zero young people but I’d say well informed middle age and up would know who Facui is. It’s hard to debate this with a source but these people have even in the news for decades when things go wrong. I disagree with the “effective 0%”

Gosh down votes for this

Okay let me try to show my side of “0%“ is wrong”

“author, coauthor, or editor of more than 1,300 scientific publications, including several textbooks.“

“Dr. Fauci ranked 7th out of more than 1.8 million authors in the field of immunology by total citation count between 1980 and January 2020.”

Note this isn’t just 2020. It’s a long history.

“Dr. Fauci was appointed director of NIAID in 1984.” And has served under 6 presidents. Most of which had more than 1 term.

If you are looking for a long list of awards and honorary doctorates head over to his Wikipedia page.

To the replies I got - I don’t consider 30’s middle aged. I guess I was thinking if you were around with AIDS news in the 80’s you might remember him. Oxford dictionary considers middled aged 45-65 - google trending searches isn’t how I would evaluate the history of someone over decades of time.

For fun I did fin a bunch of videos of times he was on TV via YouTube. So again my point is that 0% is far from right.

I’m a allegedly well-educated well-over-30s person, didn’t know who either of them were.
