3:48 am
>> well, i'm not the biggest guy in the world. so -- >> but at 5'7" you were the captain of the basketball team. >> at 5'7" i was the captain of the basketball team. >> how did you do that? >> i was really fast and i had a great shot. >> what killed your nba career? >> i found out that a very fast good-shooting point guard who's 5'7" will always get destroyed by a point guard who's 6'3". that became very clear. >> so you had to settle for medicine. >> so i said let me just settle for science. whatever. >> reporter: there are millions today who owe their lives to the work of the man who settled for science. and as he chronicles in his new memoir, "on call," dr. fauci's career treating infectious diseases at the national institutes of health has been bookended by the two great pandemics of our time, aids and covid-19. >> federal health officials consider it an epidemic. yet you rarely hear a thing about it. >> reporter: when it first widely appeared in the early 1980s, a diagnosis of hiv/aids
3:49 am
was a death sentence. >> looking at your background, you were brought up in brooklyn in the '40s, kind of a conservative family. >> yeah. >> you might not necessarily predict that you would then go on to treat a group of people who were kind of shunned by society. what went into that? >> what it was, that one of the predominant themes in my home, which was fortified with the jesuit education, was empathy. my father was quite conservative. you know. an eisenhower type republican. as was my mother. but my father was very, very much guided by empathy. for anybody >> reporter: although empathy for aids patients was in short supply and he was criticized early on, dr. fauci used his position at the nih to lobby the white house for funding and national attention. he worked with seven presidents on aids, bird flu, swine flu, ebola, zika and covid. an aids program started with
3:50 am
george w. bush has saved an estimated 25 million lives worldwide. with bill clinton he established the nih's vaccine research center that laid the groundwork for the recordbreaking development of covid vaccines during the trump administration. but that last collaboration hit a wall. >> that brings us to april 3rd, 2020. that was the day president trump had a press conference and he said things have changed and the cdc is now recommending that people wear masks. >> right. >> and then added -- >> this is voluntary. i don't think i'm going to be doing it. >> i was deeply disturbed by that because he had the opportunity as the leader of the country with a very strong devoted following to say the cdc has recommended masks and i'm going to wear a mask because masks are going to protect me and protect others. that really was a missed opportunity because that was a signal to his devoted followers
3:51 am
that you don't really have to listen to the cdc, you don't have to listen to the public health messages. >> reporter: as the country's willingness to follow public health advice largely split along party lines, dr. fauci came under attack. >> during covid you actually received death threats. has that ever happened before? >> no. not credible death threats where a person is arrested who was clearly intending to kill you. and that's happened at least twice. we're acting like we have a virus that's the common enemy and we're fighting with each other. >> do the american people deserve to be abused like that, mr. fauci? because you're not doctor. you're mr. fauci in my few minutes. >> reporter: earlier this month dr. fauci was called before a republican-led congressional committee to discuss pandemic origins and preparedness. but things quickly spun out of control. >> what this committee should be doing, we should be recommending you to be prosecuted.
3:52 am
>> how did we go as a country from absolutely adoring jonah salk, who helped develop the polio vaccine, he was a national hero, to dr. anthony fauci having to have security details to stop people from killing him? >> it's a reflection of the psyche of the country. if the purpose of the hearing is to figure out how we can do better to prevent and respond to and prepare for the next pandemic, that doesn't even begin to contribute to that. >> reporter: one of the deepest points of controversy is the still unknown origin of sars-cov-2, the virus that caused the covid-19 outbreak. because the nih has funded research at the wuhan institute of vierology in china, there are accusations that american taxpayers could have paid to create sars-cov-2 through genetic manipulation, what's called gain of function. >> isn't really the issue behind all of this controversy, that those coronaviruses, the ones
3:53 am
that were funded by the nih, were somehow fiddled with to turn into the virus that causes covid-19? is that biochemically, genetically possible? >> no. when of a virus, if you're going to manipulate it in a way to make it a dangerous virus, you have to start off with a precursor virus that's close enough to the virus that you ultimately make, that it is molecularly possible to do that. what is absolutely 100% certain is that the viruses that were studied under the nih grant for the kinds of experiments that were done molecularly were so far removed from sars-cov-2 that they could not have turned it into sars-cov-2 even if they tried, which they obviously didn't do. but it was just so what we call
3:54 am
philogenetically distant. >> which the public doesn't know. >> the public doesn't know what philogenetically distant means. but what it means is evolutionarily it's so far it would take 20 years of evolution to just get it there. and that's something that just slips between the cracks when people talk about it. what we're talking about is what the nih funded, was viruses that could not possibly have done that. >> none of us can know everything that's going on in china or in wuhan or what have you. and that's the reason why i keep an open mind as to what the origin is. >> reporter: covid origins aside, dr. fauci has been subjected to other accusations. >> people have accused you of, you know, getting all sorts of money from pharma and this, that and the other thing. you have been offered money to leave the nih, right? and join, say, pharma. >> or private equity. >> or private equity. how many times your current salary have you been offered,
3:55 am
about? >> so at the time that i was getting offered it, i was making 125, $200,000. and i would get offered a job that would get me five, six, seven million dollars a year. >> so why didn't you take it? >> because i really felt what i was doing was having an impact on what i cared about. which was the health of the country and indirectly the health of the world. to me that is priceless. >> that was dr. jon lapook reporting. this is "cbs news roundup."

3:59 am
>> is this the only place where they're getting fresh vegetables? >> it may be. absolutely. >> it sets up in about 45 minutes. >> reporter: the system stemmed from the imagination of wisconsin native alex tank. ♪ trained as an opera singer, he got into rooftop gardening in new york city between gigs and turned the 2,500-year-old technique into a modern-day company called fork farms. >> food is already having to travel further and further to get from seed to plate. our food system is failing us. >> it's probably some of the best lettuce i've ever written. >> reporter: mark got grants to buy two of the $5,000 devices for the food bank he runs near milwaukee. >> as the cost of food continue to rise it becomes more valuable than anything else. >> reporter: in milwaukee public schools where school officials say more than 80% of students are economically disadvantaged, 80 units have sprouted. >> what kind of plants are these? >> chives and cilantro. >> reporter: 11th-graders
