Thoughts on the persecution of doctors and scientists in modern history.

From Galileo to Fauci
One of the most famous cases concerns Galileo Galilei, the Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer from Pisa. He was persecuted by the Catholic Church in the early 17th century because his concept of the universe was not in line with the theological thinking of the times.
Galileo’s championing of “heliocentrism” — the Earth and planets revolving around the sun at the center of the solar system — was investigated by the Inquisition in Rome in 1615. He was tried by the Inquisition, found “vehemently suspect of heresy” and forced to recant. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest.
So far, Anthony Fauci has been luckier than that. Despite repeated attempts by the current U.S. President and his administration, most Americans continue to trust him more than they trust Donald Trump.
According to a poll conducted by The New York Times and Siena College, 67% of Americans trust Dr. Fauci as a source of accurate information about the pandemic, while only 26% trust President Trump.
