Infectious disease specialist Anthony Fauci, head of the US Committee on Coronavirus, criticized the government’s strategy for handling the pandemic, and the White House said the distinguished scientist was suddenly interfering in politics and wanted to weaken the president. the elections ..
In an interview with the Washington Post, published on Saturday, Dr. Fauci commented that the United States could not be “worse off” to deal with the acceleration of the Covid-19 case. “We will suffer,” he warned, adding that “the situation is not good.”
Dr. Fauci said Donald Trump no longer takes his advice and prefers neuroradiologist Scott Atlas, who is in favor of a greater openness of American society rather than a strengthening of precautionary measures.
“Suddenly, they didn’t want to hear our message anymore, because I wasn’t responding to what they wanted to do,” said Dr. Fauci, who said he hadn’t spoken to the president in weeks.
Fauci pointed out a clear difference between the approach of the White House and that of the Democratic candidate Joe Biden, who “takes the pandemic seriously in terms of public health.”
A member of the White House communications team, Jude Deere, called Dr. Fauci’s statements “unacceptable.”
According to him, the doctor “violated everything usual, choosing to go into politics three days before the elections.”
In mid-October, during a conference call, Donald Trump called Fauci a “disaster” and included him in a group of scientists who advocated a cautious approach to the pandemic, “stupid,” according to the president.
