“He was unique in that he totally transformed the relationship between activism and the scientific, regulatory, and government community”
Fauci wrote a moving tribute to Kramer and his legacy and also further explained how their relationship evolved over the past 30 years.
“We had an extraordinary, complicated but wonderful relationship that ultimately culminated in a very deep friendship, affection and I would even say love for each other,” Fauci begins. “He was unique in that he totally transformed the relationship between activism and the scientific, regulatory and government community. He realized early on in the AIDS crisis that the country as a whole, in the form of the federal government, was not paying much attention to the emerging pandemic.
He continues: “He had so many aspects to his character; he was a very talented guy, an amazing playwright, just extraordinary. He also had a unique capacity, when there were opposing arguments, to alienate everybody on both sides of the issue. He was a firebrand who brought attention to things. He was totally abrasive, confrontational and theatrical. He didn’t care who he offended because he felt he was doing the right thing.
As we see swaths of marginalized people ignored and left to die from a mysterious new disease — and politicians once again openly deciding whose lives are more important — it’s essential to remember the power each individual has to create change and resist powerful people’s ignorance. As Fauci explains in regard to Kramer and his many vociferous skills: “He stands out as an individual figure who made a big difference, and was truly the leader of a transformation.
