Dr. Director of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institute. President Trump’s attack on Anthony Fawcett will not help the United States fight the coronavirus epidemic, said Dr. Ashish Zai, dean of Brown University School of Public Health.
It is “disturbing and” upset “to hear the president say such things,” Zhao told CNN’s Jack Tapper.
“We are in the midst of one of the worst epidemics of a century, and Dr. Fawcett is America’s most respected infectious disease specialist for good reason,” Zhao said.
“He is the best out there and it is very unfortunate to attack him personally and that country will not be helped,” Zhae added.
“I mean, right now we’re going through a difficult fall and winter. If you are the President of the United States, you do not want to attack your best experts. ”
Zhao said it could also have dire health consequences.
“Dr .. Fauki is not just someone that people respect. All of us who study these things in the medical field see it as an excellence there, ”Zay noted.
“And so decaying it and decaying its message makes this virus very difficult to control, this epidemic very difficult to control. I think President Dr. Fauke, but really makes a big mess for the country.
Trump called Fauqi a “disaster” in a campaign phone call on Monday and called him and other health experts “stupid.”
Dr. Richard Besser, former executive director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on the “full circle” that if political leaders are not working with scientists to pull the nation together in their coronavirus response, they are likely. Failing.
“The only way to respond is when you have a unity of message between political leaders and science leaders because science leaders never tell people to do simple things. They tell people to change their lifestyles,” he said. To reduce the spread of the infectious agent requires sacrifice and when your political leaders cannot make a national effort by pulling the nation together, you will fail.
“Infectious agents don’t care which political party you support. They don’t care where you live. They infect everyone and everyone.”
