I nominate Michael Spector as possibly the best person to review Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new book, The Real Anthony Fauci.

Spector is a writer for The New Yorker magazine and is or has been adjunct professor of bioengineering at Stanford University. In the spring of 2020 he wrote a long piece about Dr. Fauci, “How Anthony Fauci Became America’s Doctor.” Last year also, his audio book, Fauci, came out. He would seem to be the most authoritative person in this country to assess Kennedy’s book, which casts a skeptical eye on Dr. Fauci’s role in guiding how the United States and other countries have dealt with the novel coronavirus.

Spector appears to be a Fauci fan. (HERE is his New Yorker piece.) Kennedy is not. In previous entries I have written favorably about the book on Nov. 17, 18, 21 and 23. (Click on each numbers to read.) But what do I know? So far, though, I have not seen any references to reviews in the news media.

P.S. Roughly four hours after completing the above “nomination,” just before supper, an hour ago I came across THIS RECOMMENDATION by Edward Curtin of “Behind the Curtain,” who I’m delighted (but not surprised) to see is working on a review of The Real Anthony Fauci himself.

Curtin appeals to his readers to view an hour-long interview of the book’s author by Tucker Carlson of Fox News on “Tucker Carlson Today.”

I’ll just add that just as Kennedy’s book would benefit from an index, so the online version of the televised interview would benefit from a transcript.
