The scientist says there was a ceremony at the White House on September 26, which he described as a “very widespread” event of the disease and is suspected to be the cause of the infection of several guests with covid-19.
Asked about the effectiveness of the masks, after several guests tested positive for the new coronavirus, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases of the United States, responded that “the data speaks for itself.” The expert became one of the faces of the White House and also a consultant to Donald Trump during press conferences on the covid-19 pandemic in the United States.
“We had a very propagative event in the White House, where people were close and not wearing a mask,” he said on CBS radio.
More than 30 people are suspected of being infected during the ceremony organized for the nomination of Donald Trump’s candidate to the United States Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett.
Trump throws confusion
The words of the US president congratulating himself on overcoming covid-19, thanks to an experimental treatment that he described as a “cure”, can cause “a lot of confusion,” Fauci said. “It depends a lot on what you understand by medicine, because that word generates a lot of confusion.”
The doctor explained that there are “good treatments for people hospitalized with serious illnesses” and listed different drugs already tested in thousands of patients, such as the antiviral remdesivir and the corticosteroid dexamethasone, which were prescribed to the US president, but showed reservations about treatments with synthetic antibodies such as the one developed by the Regeneron laboratory and widely praised by Donald Trump.
