Dr. Anthony Fauci said that White House allegations that he was often wrong were "nonsense" and "incorrect."
Washington — Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious diseases expert, defended himself against recent attacks on his credibility emanating from the White House, calling the efforts to discredit him"bizarre."
"I stand by everything I said. Contextually, at the time I said it, it was absolutely true," Fauci told The Atlantic."It's nonsense. It's completely wrong. The whole thing is wrong. The whole thing is incorrect." Fauci also commented on an op-ed written by White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Wednesday which criticized Fauci's response to the virus.
"Ultimately, it hurts the president to do that. When the staff lets out something like that and the entire scientific and press community push back on it, it ultimately hurts the president," Fauci said. He added that he has not spoken to the president in some time, but is in constant contact with other members of the White House coronavirus task force.
