kcur Lol it has nothing to with fauci

kcur Fauci? the guy who said the virus didn't come from a lab? the guy who said large gatherings bad, but would not say that about blm protest/riots?

kcur I’m sure their personal statements say they’re inspired by Fauci and all the first line healthcare workers. I interviewed premeds and they said the same. The real reason is that no one wants to start their career now. Med school applications also went up in the 2008 recession.

kcur perhaps it’s the effect of ditching gap years and studying for the MCAT while sheltering-in for the past year with limitations on social distractions. aren’t law school and bschool applications up also?

kcur They are up because people have more$

kcur Won't they be disappointed when this comes out:

kcur Great. We are down 43K doctors in America.

kcur We love you Dr Fauci!

kcur 👍👍👍👍

kcur Other than lazy journos, who is calling it the “Fauci Effect”?

kcur awww, adorable.

kcur Cue the hateful blatting of the confused and irrelevant in the replies.

kcur There’s always that Ass in every conversation. In this case, a whole bunch of ass, belittling a kid’s dream & aspiration simply because they didn’t get their dreams or just simply a loser. If your dreams are crushed & forgotten, don’t poison theres, THEY ARE THE FUTURE, not you.

kcur People used to think you had to be smart and know what you're doing to be a doctor.

kcur Thanks to the pandemic, not Fauci

kcur Fauci sucks donkey scrote

kcur Awesome!!

kcur Great so we won’t be able to trust our own doctors now?

kcur wow

kcur Hey who doesn't want to get paid big bucks to be wrong all the time?
