Top infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci said he did not understand the White House effort to discredit him and urged an end to the divisiveness over the country's response to the coronavirus pandemic
WASHINGTON - U.S. infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci on Wednesday called the White House effort to discredit him “bizarre” and urged an end to the divisiveness over the country’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, saying “let’s stop this nonsense.”
“One of the things that’s part of the problem is the dynamics of the divisiveness that is going on now that it becomes difficult to engage in a dialogue of honest evaluation of what’s gone right and what’s gone wrong,” Fauci told The Atlantic in an interview. “You know, it is a bit bizarre. I don’t really fully understand it,” Fauci said in an interview with The Atlantic.
The Republican president, who is seeking re-election in November, has been increasingly critical of government health officials and their guidance as a rise in infections threatens the easing of shutdown restrictions across the country. Across the country, new cases are now averaging around 60,000 a day.
