Asked by @profmaryhorgan for advice to the younger generation of doctors, Dr Fauci says:

‘For the younger physicians and scientists the thing that we need to hold on to is the fundamental principle of integrity and we are scientists. We are physicians, we have a responsibility.’

‘In some respects, more than any other field, we need to make sure that data and evidence drive what we do and that we are consistent, that we never, ever, compromise our integrity.’
