Simple… Be more faithful to the comics. Be less concerned with beating Marvel. Capitalize on the things that made each DC hero great. Slowly build the Justice League, but not for the sake of having an Avengers counterpart. Rather; for the sake of building a rich multiverse full of interesting characters.Edit: Thank you all for your support… I have created a Subreddit so you can follow any edits I make to this by subscribing, and so you can join the discussion.Alternate DC Extended Universe • r/altdcPhase IBlack Canary (2020): We should start off by trying to distance ourselves from the failed DCEU Snyderverse by introducing a new sort of hero… A young woman, for instance, dealing with modern problems; offering a unique perspective on age old problems.Our first movie in this new slate of DC films opens in a gas station. Yes, you read that right. There are two customers, both men, in the convenience store, browsing the shelves for cheap snacks… At least, it appears that way, until they both draw guns and the scene turns into a robbery. The first three minutes of this film consist of intense yelling. Will the convenience store clerk be okay? Will the criminals get caught? Seemingly not, as they load down a bag full of cash and make their way to the doors…As they do, the mood lightens ever so slightly as “Dancing in the Moonlight” by King Harvest begins to play. The criminals step out into the streets of Gotham. What better city to set the first of these new DC movies in? But make no mistake. This is not a Batman movie. In the streets of Gotham, criminals are rioting everywhere. They are all wearing orange jumpsuits — it looks like a prison break has just occurred. In the dark night sky above, the bat symbol is on display.While this movie isn’t about Batman, many supporting characters will be involved, including Commissioner Gordon… Or as he is known at this time, Lt. Gordon, Gotham PD. We meet him for the first time now with another young cop, behind a barricade, suiting up in riot gear. When the younger cop asks Gordon why the Batman hasn’t shown up, Gordon replies that, “The Batman is too busy to bother with criminals like this… He’s going after the one who let them out.”This sets up the dichotomy that will be played with throughout the movie, that there is a need for neighborhood heroes who play a vital role that the big world saving heroes sometimes miss. Batman is not perfect, and this movie is not shy about that.So, on to Black Canary herself of course. At the start of the movie, she is not Black Canary yet, but plain old Dinah Lance. Eighteen year old, recent high school graduate. Beautiful, blonde girl. Daughter of retired Gotham PD officer Larry Lance and his wife Laurel Lance. Laurel, despite her relatively young age — her hair has only just started to grey — seems to be effected by some sort of early onset dementia that is just starting to take hold. Regardless, the three are a happy family. Dinah is a very pretty girl who is taking a gap year before college, living at home, and working at Home Depot. Her Dad wants her to take advantage of this time to travel, maybe see Europe. Dinah wants to travel, in fact she yearns to get out of Gotham and see the world, but she is worried about leaving everyone behind.For casting, someone young. Maybe Chloe Grace Moretz?Lt. Gordon is difficult as I will forever associate him with Gary Oldman, but since this particular Gordon is probably in his late thirties to early forties, maybe… James Franco?Throughout the movie, we get this vibe that Dinah is a sort of free spirited girl who would have fit in well in the seventies. The music throughout the film reflects this — we get a lot of 80’s New Wave music for instance. As she wakes up in the morning and gets ready to start her day, Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven Is A Place On Earth” plays. We keep this sort of vintage vibe going, despite the fact that the movie is set in modern times.It eventually becomes clear that Dinah’s mother is a retired superhero who went by the name of Black Canary. Dinah discovers an old costume along with a picture with the caption “JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA” in her mother’s attic. About this same time, Dinah becomes ensnared in a plot by the Falcone crime family to smuggle nerve gas into Gotham. She decides to investigate on her own.Emboldened by learning about her mother’s past, Dinah does something stupid and stakes out the docks at Port Gotham. The Falcone family is receiving a shipment of nerve gas. As Dinah watches in horror, she realizes there is little she can do to stop the Falcone family. Doesn’t matter. A boomerang hits one of the criminals and Robin makes himself visible. A team of cops led by Gordon also make their way on the scene. Gordon has been independently investigating the Falcone family. He went against Commissioner Loeb to bust the shipment, and called Batman for help as well — at this point it seems they have a working relationship. While we see Robin and Gordon, we only get the hint that Batman is also present from the fact that someone from the shadows is attacking these criminals. We never see his face.Commissioner Gillian Loeb could be played by someone like George Dzunda.Dinah is discovered on the scene / almost captured by Rocco’s men. She is saved by Gordon, who knows her father. Lectured by Gordon and Robin. Escorted home to her angry father. She realizes she was extremely reckless. But she’s also hungry to make a difference now, and angry at how condescending the boy wonder was.The rest of the movie is essentially Dinah’s redemption. She seeks out Ted Grant, who she met by a chance encounter while jogging, and trains in his boxer gym. Ted becomes her mentor, having once been Wildcat himself. Dinah pieces together that Wildcat and Black Canary, her mom, had some sort of romantic relationship in the past. Throughout the movie, Ted, despite being old and retired, helps Dinah track down the bad guys, believing in her when nobody else does.There are some epic scenes, such as one in which Black Canary has to learn on the fly how to pilot a huge cargo ship and prevent it from crashing into the Gotham boardwalk, all while fighting Falcone underboss Rocco Gigante’s henchmen. Rocco himself is on board the ship, and when Black Canary successfully averts the disaster, Rocco is arrested by Gordon, only to be later freed by Loeb, who is working with the Falcone family and ends up benching Gordon.The role of Carmine Falcone clearly belongs to Tony Amendola, while the role of his son-in-law and underboss Rocco would go to a slightly younger actor such as Daniel Caltagirone.It eventually becomes clear that Carmine Falcone’s plan is to use the nerve gas to purge the east-side of Gotham. He has assisted in the construction of a new super-max prison in the east-side, where the prisoners who escaped during the jail break will now be placed. Carmine wants to purge not just the prison but the entire east side, in order to “bring an honor code back to Gotham”.Rocco is fired for his failure and exiled from Gotham. Carmine tells him never to return. Unfortunately for Carmine, Rocco takes the mercy shown to him by his father-in-law as an opportunity. Calling a meeting of the other under-bosses, he tries to launch a coup against Carmine. When the other under-bosses refuse to turn against Carmine, he kills them all with a container of the nerve gas.Rocco then begins a war against Carmine in the streets of Gotham, with our heroes caught in between. Ted Grant is caught and arrested by some of Loeb’s men, his super hero identity revealed. A villain working with Carmine named Nordic Frost attacks Batman head-on (we only see brief silhouettes of Batman himself), preventing Batman from interfering in the gang war. Robin turns to Black Canary, apologizes for his earlier comments, and together the two team up to end the gang war. Likewise, Gordon is tied up rescuing his daughter, who has been kidnapped by one of Carmine’s henchmen.Rocco orchestrates his gang war by submerging Gotham into chaos. He once more frees the prisoners of Gotham, this time from the supermax, by cutting power to the entire city and taking out the prison’s backup generators. He murders the police commissioner. And he creates distractions all throughout the city to keep police busy while he heads to the Gotham airport to hijack a plane with which to drop nerve gas on the city.At this point, Gotham is total chaos. Black Canary and Robin are trying to locate Carmine, who they have deduced is behind this whole thing, but there is crime left and right on the streets. At one point, she finds her father, back in his police uniform, wounded from a gunshot and slumped over by a dumpster. They have a heart to heart. He says she looks just like her mother did. They both have the same job… To help people. As an EMT arrives to help Larry, Black Canary disappears into the dark, off to continue helping.Black Canary and Robin go after Carmine first. Together with some police they round up, they storm his mansion. After a short fight, he goes down and surrenders. Carmine reveals that his plan was to purge the east end, but he is no longer in control. Rocco has the nerve gas.Rocco and his men use the chaos to try and hijack a plane with which to distribute the gas via the air. Robin and Black Canary borrow the Batplane to chase after the mobsters. Some mid-air fights and an epic scene of Black Canary grappling onto Rocco’s plane. They save the day at the last minute, and as Rocco’s plane starts to crash, Black Canary parachutes down to the ground. Robin calls for Black Canary over the radio, but there’s no answer. She’s gone missing.One month later, Gordon has been promoted to Police Commissioner. Robin visits Ted, who is in the hospital, and asks if he’s up for a road trip — he has a lead on Dinah’s location.In the last scene, Dinah is inside a giant bird cage, being tortured by electric shocks. Two scientists watch from another room, behind one way glass, taking notes. As the rod extends back at her to shock her once more, a broken Dinah can take no more. She stands up and breaks the rod that is moving towards her. One of the scientists say, “Not again.”Men inside the room start to walk towards her, one of them holding a syringe of an unknown liquid. Dinah is afraid, and fed up with being in this prison. She cowers in fear. As one of the men opens the cage and approaches her, she lets out a cry… An earth shattering cry that drops these men to their knees, writhing in pain… Louder. So loud, the one way glass breaks. So loud, the scientists in the other room also drop to their knees. So loud that all the men guarding her pass out. This is her canary cry.She is still locked in her cage, though. That is, until an explosion rocks the building they are in. An arrow breaks the lock to her cage. She emerges from her cage in her hospital gown, hair a mess, eyes angry. She stares through the smoke to see a man standing at the newly created entrance to the building. We can only see a vague outline of this man, but it is clear that he is wearing a hood, holding a bow and arrow. When she says nothing, he merely says, “You coming?”Wonder Woman (2020)Now that we’ve established ourselves as different from the past DCEU, let’s re-try one of the old DCEU movies in a different way. Actually, we could keep the old movie in cannon if we wanted; it wasn’t bad. Just not the way I would have done things. We will use the multiverse to explain away the reboot later if necessary.To me, a Wonder Woman movie should draw richly from the comics. This story, for instance, is based in part on the first few issues of Volume 2 of Wonder Woman, from the 1980’s.Diana is an immortal Amazonian warrior on the island of Themyscera. Like in the movie, she rescues Colonel Steve Trevor when he crashes on the island. But unlike the movie, there are no German soldiers. Trevor is unconscious from the crash, and Diana is given the task to take Steve to Patriarch’s World, and while she is there, observe how life has changed off the island, and then to report back.We also establish the Greek/Roman gods as characters here. Probably a good twenty to thirty minutes should be spent before Steve even crashes on exploring the history of the Amazonians, and their relationship with the gods. Leave open the possibility that these gods are aliens or other mythological creatures, but do not expand on their nature too much. Establish Ares as the problem child.Diana does as instructed, and delivers the unconscious Steve to an Air Force Base in Massachusetts, with help from Hermes. She then leaves and is amazed by the world she sees before her. While Amazonian technology is significantly more advanced, technology in Patriarch’s World is just… Plain different. After almost getting hit by a car, some Harvard intellectuals take an interest in her… Primarily because she does not speak English! Her obscure Greek dialect proves to be crackable only by the brilliant Julia Kapatelis, a linguist at Harvard. Diana is taken in by the Kapatelis family.Diana begins to adjust to life in Patriarch’s World, and frequently visits Julia at work at Harvard, where Julia endeavors to teach her English. Naturally, Diana must keep the truth about her home a secret. But Diana spending time in Patriarch’s World does not make everyone happy. It is now that Ares awakens a powerful evil in the form of an artifact kept at Harvard University… An old, wooden doll becomes flesh and blood.This creature is named Decay, and it begins a reign of terror on both Harvard and the greater Boston area. Decay is an ancient prisoner who is capable of sucking the life out of anything it touches. Decay’s first target is the Kapatelis family, and Diana must defend her new hosts. Can she defeat this evil and stop it from destroying her new friends?We get some epic fights, such as Diana and Decay hopping from building to building in the Boston skyline, late at night, sparring. Ultimately, the theme is that isolation does no good — sometimes you must rely upon friends. Diana must do just that in order to ultimately defeat Decay.In the end, Diana returns home, expecting to be punished for making such a visible ruckus. Instead, her sisters applaud her for defending the weak. Diana is made a permanent ambassador to Patriarch’s World, with hope that someday, the immortals will be able to reveal themselves and champion good over evil. The last scene we get is Diana becoming Wonder Woman, forging her identity as a super hero.Post-Credit Scene - Ares broods over the defeat of Decay. One of his minions asks if defeating this Diana girl is really such a big deal. Ares swears that he will take her down for violating ancient rules that should not be messed with.Batman: The World’s Greatest Detective (2021)Note that this movie takes place immediately after Black Canary. Robin/Dick Grayson has just left Batman temporarily to find Dinah.Someone else in this thread mentioned that we don’t focus on the detective aspect of Batman enough, and they are exactly right. Let’s start this Batman off by dispelling the common criticisms. People complain that Batman’s only super power is that he’s rich. The truth is, he’s also brilliant. He has turned his mind and body into perfect weapons. Let’s focus on that.We’ll adopt the story “Broken City” for this one. Batman is investigating the murder of a woman named Elizabeth Lupo. He faces off against criminals like Killer Croc and The Penguin in search for the woman’s killer. We see Batman going all over Gotham, tracking down clues and beating up bad guys. We even get a surprise cameo from The Joker at one point, when we learn that he has been watching Batman’s every move.Batman at this point is still somewhat new to the crime fighting scene, but not too new. He has a working relationship with Gordon, who has just been promoted to Police Commissioner following the events of Black Canary. Yet he has not met Jason Todd just yet. He has already become the scary Batman we all know and love, but he still has a lot of growth to do.For casting, we want someone young but not too young. Dark and mysterious but not too dark and mysterious. Probably best to go with a relative unknown. Airon Armstrong fits the bill.As far as costumes go, let’s get an authentic Batman costume going. Here’s what Batman looks like in the comics for this story:We do see a very young Jason Todd at one point in this movie, losing his parents and becoming an Orphan. Batman tries to stop the murder, but is unsuccessful, bringing up some rather painful memories. The movie ends with Batman capturing Killer Croc and the woman who hired him, Margo Farr. He delivers them to the police, and then visits the orphaned Jason Todd and promises him that justice has been delivered.In the last scene, Bruce Wayne announces the establishment of the Wayne Orphanage, with Jason Todd being the first boarder.Post-Credit Scene: Bruce Wayne is walking to his car, with a bag full of groceries in his hand, when we see a red blur run across the screen and quickly take him away, leaving only the groceries behind to fall on the ground.Superman (2021)Just, simply, Superman. Back to the basics. No need for a fancy title. Let’s focus on the things that made Superman great.It's a bird! It's a plane! No... It's Superman! Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound! Yes, it's Superman! Clark Kent may have been a small town farm boy once upon a time, but by the time this movie takes place, he is Superman, and has been for a few years now. Fighter of crime by night, reporter by day, Superman is bolstered by Earth's yellow sun.The movie begins with a flashback to a few years ago, when Superman was still very new to the hero scene. LexCorp, led by eccentric billionaire Lex Luthor, joins forces with the United States government to send the Excalibur spaceship into space, manned by astronaut Hank Henshaw and his crew. Their mission? Return humans to the moon for the first time in fifty years. However; a freak accident caused by a solar flare causes the ship to re-enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up shortly after lift-off. All the crew perish, with the exception of Henshaw... Who's consciousness is embedded in a piece of Kryptonite.This Kryptonite is later recovered along with remnants of the Excalibur, and used by LexCorp years later to build the new Morv-4 Global Communications satelite, a controversial satelite which will allow LexCorp to ensure world peace by detecting mobilization of armies or buildup of nuclear arsenals. Only, when the satelite is turned online, Hank is the one controlling it. Determined to do anything it takes to return to Earth, he begins a chess game which Superman will have to defuse. When humanity is at its worst, can Superman inspire them to rise above their squabbles? Can he represent hope for all nations? Find out in this exciting installment of the DC Extended Universe.Elements I want to introduce here… Lex Luthor is shady, but he has yet to become the super villain we all fear. Also, no Jesse Eisenberg. Give Michael Rosenbaum his job back! Clark has not yet discovered the Fortress of Solitude. He is still figuring things out. His parents in Smallville keep him grounded and remind him of his simple youth working on the family farm.Post-Credit Scene: Clark Kent walks into the Daily Planet lobby and asks for a job.Martian Manhunter (2022)We start off on Mars, hundreds of years ago. A race of Martians flourished, capable of using telepathic abilities to communicate. As one poster elsewhere in this thread suggested, we should start the story with some look at zany Martian culture. J’onn is a manhunter — police officer — tracking down some mystery.But in my version of the movie, we only get to see Mars for about half an hour. Thirty minutes into the film, J’onn watches in horror as a disease spread through telepathy begins to wipe out his people. For some reason, J’onn survives. He does not know why. Surrounded by death, he lives in anguish on his planet, searching for survivors for several days.When he finds none and has given up hope, he puts himself in a stasis pod in an underground lab and resigns himself to eternal slumber, hoping that the time he wakes up in will be better.Fast-forward to many years later. On Earth, we explore the life of a man named Dr. Saul Erdel. Saul loves his job at Lexcorp, despite the harsh work environment and drive to constantly find new discoveries that will make the company money. Saul isn’t exactly proud to be working for a man like Lex Luthor, but they pay him well to do what he loves — operate equipment bound for space.Today, Saul is remotely piloting a Martian probe. When he stumbles upon signs of an ancient civilization, Saul greedily shuts off all recording equipment. He doesn’t want Lex Luthor stealing credit for potentially discovering life on another planet. None the less, he continues to operate the probe, and accidentally awakens J’onn. Long story short, Saul finds a way to communicate with the alien, and brings him to Earth.J'onn disguises himself as a human and becomes a police officer on Earth, using his powers to help save people. But when Bo'rett, a dangerous Martian criminal, escapes from his stasis due to Lex Corp meddling, he comes to Earth and threatens everything J'onn has worked for... Including his secret identity. J'onn must face the nature of being an alien trying to blend in on Earth, the anguish of his past, and the meaning of his quest for justice, as he faces off against Bo'rett.Post-Credit Scene: Lex Luthor, with help from an IT technician, discovers the deleted footage from the martian probe, and sees J’onn’s body in stasis. He makes a telephone call. “Hey… You know that thing we wanted to build? How soon can we build it?”Green Arrow (2022)Begins where Black Canary left off. Oliver Queen is a billionaire with a dark past and a new outlook on life. He's done everything he can to start cleaning up Star City, a very corrupt city full of back room deals and care-free corporations. He's even started training others to help -- such as Black Canary, recovering from the accident in her Gotham adventure, and Green Arrow's sidekick Speedy. However; when a civil war among the villains of Star City disrupts Oliver's training plans, he must rely on his own archery skills, and the aid of his still-in-training sidekicks, to figure out who murdered The Dodger, who stole a mysterious package from a nearby US military base, and what it means for Star City. Loosely based on the 1983 Green Arrow mini-series. Also the beginning of a blooming romance between Oliver and Dinah.The Flash: Justice Rising (2022)The movie starts on the planet Kalanor, many years ago. An advanced alien race inhabits Kalanor. Kalanor way of life is centered around the Py’tar, a sort of self sufficient nuclear reaction which gives the people of Kalanor all the energy they need to sustain their utopia. Then, one day, a fleet of ships appeared above Kalanor and tore through their defenses.The evil conquerer Despero and his armies invaded the Kalanor planet, and the people quickly lost hope. To make matters worse, not long after, the Py’tar ceased to function, turning the world of Kalanor into a harsh, cold place ruled by a despotic dictator. It is under these conditions that Jasonar and Saranna, two Kalanor scientists, made their escape, carrying with them research on the Py’tar which Despero desperately wanted to get his hands on.Fast forward to modern times. We meet Barry Allen, AKA The Flash. Barry has been using his powers to keep Central City safe for some time. We could easily use the Flash from the CW TV series here — have him be stranded in this version of the multiverse for some reason. The particulars do not matter. This is a version of The Flash who has been fighting crime for some amount of time, and this is the first time we get a good look at him.In fact, he seems downright bored. He’s a good man, but has become jaded with all the crime fighting. We catch him one evening as Barry, going for a “jog” to cool his head, when he comes across a house out in the country-side emitting some sort of strange, blue energy.There, he discovers Jasonar and Saranna in all their zany alien glory, working on an invention that will allow them to reactivate the Py’tar. After questioning the aliens, Barry realizes that by hiding out on Earth, Jasonar and Saranna have opened the door for Despero to come to Earth and look for them. Indeed, Jasonar sorrowfully reveals that Despero is probably already on his way.Barry looks desperately for a solution. He knows he alone will not be enough to defeat Despero. He reads up on superheroes who have defended the world throughout the years, and tracks down Hawkman, only to learn Hawkman is now a very old and retired hero in a nursing home. Hawman makes Barry aware that the Justice Society of America, long ago disbanded, planned for the possibility that the world may need heroes again, and gives him a trail of breadcrumbs to follow. Barry eventually finds the abandoned Justice Society of America headquarters on an island off the coast of Manhattan.There, Barry discovers the Justice League Protocol, a plan the Justice Society of America came up with in case heroes were ever needed again. Barry follows the protocol’s instructions to organize a new Justice League, based out of the old Justice Society headquarters. With help from Jay, a mysterious but wise homeless man who is squatting in the Justice Society HQ, Barry begins to recruit new members for the Justice League. He tracks down Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Martian Hunter, and Aquaman. While at first, none want to work together and all are dismissive of Barry’s warnings about Despero’s coming, they eventually come around when Despero reveals himself to Earth in the form of an ominous doomsday message, demanding the people of Earth hand over the scientists Jasonar and Saranna.The first half of the movie takes place on Earth, with Despero causing havoc searching for his missing scientists. However; once he finds them, Despero uses his ship’s technology to beam up the scientists, as well as the various members of the Justice League, with the exception of Flash, who manages to outrun the beaming technology. Despero takes off back to Kalanor, leaving Earth relatively unharmed, but with the Justice League as captives.Flash is at his lowest point. In far over his head, he feels like he has just doomed Earth by getting its most impressive heroes captured. It is at this point that Jay reveals himself to be Jason Garrick, the original Flash and Barry’s childhood idol. Jason gives Barry some much needed advice, and Barry finds the courage to continue forward. He locates the craft on which Jasonar and Saranna came to Earth, and with the help of his friends from Star Labs, learns to pilot the ship and return it to Kalanor to rescue his friends.The second half of the movie consists of Barry facing off against Despero on the planet Kalanor. Despero constructs a literal chess board, with the restrained members of the Justice League as chess pieces. The only one among them who was able to escape was Superman, who has battling Despero alone when Barry arrives. Despero makes Superman and Barry play his little games in order to win their freedom, and while Barry and Superman pretend to play along, in truth they are distracting Despero while Jasonar and Saranna’s friends comb through the research the two scientists have done on the Py’tar. Eventually, a group of rebel scientists on Kalanor crack the research, and Barry goes to assist them while Superman resumes combat with Despero.The scientists reveal that the Py’tar is actually a sentient being which stopped powering the planet when the people of Kalanor gave up hope and gave in to Despero. The scientists hijack a broadcast to all the people of Kalanor, encouraging them to believe in the Py’tar and rebel against Despero. Together, the people rise up and assist Superman and the Flash in fighting Despero. The Py’tar once more lights up, and the planet’s defenses vaporize most of Despero’s fleet. Superman and Barry end up freeing their friends from the chess board, and together, the Justice League unite to take down Despero and deliver him to the Py’tar for it to carry out justice.The Justice League return to America and hold a press conference announcing themselves as defenders of the weak, embodiment of the American way, warriors of justice. Together, they will fight to defend America and the world. And they will win.Post-Credit Scene 1: Roy Harper, Garth/Aqualad, and Wally West watch the Justice League press conference on a small TV in a garage. A little ticked that they didn’t get any recognition for their role in helping their respective heroes over the years, Wally suggests they form their own league… Together, they can be great too. They can be as great as titans.END PHASE ISo now, we’ve reintroduced the characters we love in a more steady way that’s true to the comics. Diana is a warrior with much to learn, who represents the best of her people and ours. Bruce is a top notch detective who has been exposed to some brutal things in Gotham. Clark is the poster boy for America. We have also introduced refreshing new movies for heroes not featured as much in the old DCEU. Black Canary has her 80’s vibe going for her. The Flash is by far the oldest and most experienced hero among the Justice League.From here, we move towards widening the world, and exploring some of the threats briefly introduced in Phase I. Threats like Lex Luthor, the Joker, and Ares. We also have established the Justice League in a slow and methodical way. They are not perfect. They will have many challenges to overthrow moving forward.

On July 24, 1987, President Reagan named 12 members to a national commission on AIDS and pledged to send the deadly disease “the way of smallpox and polio.” The commission has been directed to recommend measures that federal, state, and local officials can take to stop the spread of AIDS, to assist in the research aimed at finding a cure for AIDS, and to better care for those who have the disease. It is to deliver its first report to the president within 90 days and its final report within a year.

In 1968, Fauci became a clinical associate in the Laboratory of Clinical Investigation of NIAID. In 1972, he became a senior investigator at NIAID, and two years later, Fauci was named the head of the Clinical Physiology Section. In 1977, he was appointed deputy clinical director of NIAID. In 1984, Fauci became the director of NIAID, and the following year, the coordinator of all AIDS research at NIH. Except for one year spent at New York Hospital Cornell Medical Center as chief resident, Fauci has remained at the NIH throughout his career.Anthony Fauci(1940-)UPDATED: MAY 12, 2020 | ORIGINAL: APR 3, 2020Dr. Anthony Fauci has served as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984. He's become a prominent leader during the novel coronavirus pandemic.Who Is Anthony Fauci?Dr. Anthony Fauci attended Cornell Medical College before beginning his long career at National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in 1968. After taking over as NIAID director in 1984, he became known for his groundbreaking work in HIV-AIDS research, helping to develop effective drugs to scale back the once-outsized mortality rate. Fauci later led U.S. government efforts to combat outbreaks of the West Nile virus, SARS and Ebola, before returning to the spotlight in 2020 with the coronavirus pandemic.Early Years and EducationAnthony Stephen Fauci was born on December 24, 1940, in Brooklyn, New York, the second child of first-generation Italian American parents Eugenia and Stephen. A sports nut, he spent his days playing baseball, basketball and football, when not busy working the cash register or making deliveries for his father's pharmacy.Fauci attended Regis High School in Manhattan, where he served as captain of the basketball team, before turning his focus to premed studies at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. After graduating first in his class from New York City's Cornell Medical College in 1966, he completed his internship and residency at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center.Early Career to NIAID DirectorFauci began his long career at the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 1968, his tenure interrupted only by a stint as chief resident at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center from 1970-71.A senior investigator in the Laboratory of Clinical Investigation, he began carving out a reputation for his groundbreaking research in the field of immunoregulation and developed successful drug regimens for formerly fatal illnesses such as polyarteritis nodosa, granulomatosis with polyangiitis and lymphomatoid granulomatosis.Fauci's successes fueled his professional ascent to chief of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation in 1980, and then director of the NIAID under President Ronald Reagan in 1984.HIV-AIDS ResearchWith HIV-AIDS then primarily known for its devastation within the gay community, the new NIAID director faced the dual task of persuading the administration to take the crisis seriously and convincing activists that he was not at fault for perceived government inaction.Fauci successfully lobbied for an increase in AIDS research funding and forged alliances with activists by allowing access to experimental drugs even as they were being tested in clinical trials. Most crucially, he developed an understanding of how HIV attacks the human defense system, sparking the creation of effective medications to give HIV-positive patients the opportunity to live long, active lives.Even after he nominally ceded leadership with the formation of the Office of AIDS Research in 1994, Fauci remained prominently involved in the battle by helping George W. Bush develop the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, which focused on combatting the disease in Africa and other parts of the developing world upon its launch in 2003.West Nile Virus, Ebola and Other DiseasesFollowing his experiences as the government face of AIDS research, Fauci reappeared for the public health threats that marked successive administrations, including the West Nile virus under President Bill Clinton; the anthrax scare and SARS under Bush; and the swine flu pandemic under Barack Obama.9He also demonstrated an empathetic human touch when Ebola surfaced in 2014, famously hugging an American nurse who had recovered from the disease before traveling to the heart of the outbreak in Liberia for large-scale clinical trials of vaccines.Coronavirus, CDC and President TrumpIn January 2020, as reports of the novel coronavirus emerged from China, Fauci quickly assembled his research team to get to work on a vaccine. Within weeks, as COVID-19 began leaving a trail of casualties across other countries, he worked with colleagues at the Centers for Disease Control to prepare the American public for what was soon recognized as a major global pandemic.Fauci became a fixture at news briefings alongside President Donald Trump, at times rebutting or tamping down the overly optimistic pronouncements. When Trump said the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine could be a "game-changer" in mid-March, Fauci rejected that assertion as "anecdotal." And when the president declared shortly afterward that the country could reopen by Easter, Fauci was among the influential voices who convinced him to scrap that timeline.The doctor's calm but no-nonsense assessments propelled him to celebrity as the country endured an unprecedented shutdown, though it also led to death threats from extremists who felt he was undermining the president's authority. His position also occasionally placed him at odds with other members of the administration, including when he rejected Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's assertion that the virus originated in a Chinese lab.Delivering a remote testimony to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee in May, Fauci warned that reopening the country too quickly could lead to "suffering and death that could be avoided." He also got into a pointed exchange with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who noted that others were also qualified to make decisions about whether it was safe to send children back to school. "I have never made myself out to be the end-all and only voice in this," Fauci said, adding, "We don't know everything about this virus. And we really better be very careful, particularly when it comes to children."Awards and HonorsFauci has earned many of the most prestigious awards available to a person in his field, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the National Medal of Science and the Mary Woodard Lasker Award for Public Service. In 2019, he was among the inaugural class inducted into the Government Hall of Fame.Fauci also has been awarded 45 honorary doctoral degrees from universities around the world and is a member of such organizations as the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.Wife Christine Grady and FamilyFauci met Christine Grady, now chief of the Department of Bioethics at the NIH Clinical Center, when she was a young nurse at the NIH and her future husband needed her help to translate for a Portuguese-speaking patient. They were married in 1985 and have three daughters, Jennifer, Megan and Alison.Personal InterestsFauci, who lives in Washington, D.C., developed a reputation around the capital for his grueling 16-hour workdays and seven-mile lunchtime runs, though he admitted to toning the latter down to around 3 1/2 miles once the coronavirus outbreak hit.The doctor is said to enjoy fishing, tennis, cooking and art in his limited free time.Fact CheckWe strive for accuracy and fairness.
