The character of Dr. Bill Harford curiously reminds me of where Fauci was in the late 90’s: Starting to move in social circles opened up for him by his HIV research fame.
He had been working with researchers from The Chinese Military on HIV related patents.
In “Eyes Wide Shut”, in the costume renting scene, the girl reminiscent of an Epstein Island victim, mentions ermine lined cloak (like what Prince Andrew types would wear) and is seen interacting with what appear to be two Chinese businessmen or government officials (I say Chinese specifically, as Kubrick made a point of Chinese food containers being displayed on the tables.)
Both HIV as a relevant topic and Rainbows are featured as somehow relevant. Fauci infamously was attacked by prominent gay, cultural influencers as director of The NIAID during the initial AIDS crisis, until these same people praised him upon later reconsideration of his role on the crisis.
He started really expanding his role as “Dr. of Crisis” following 9/11.
Were we given a warning of what was to come? The initiation of the doctor into higher circles?
