A s the COVID-19 pandemic began to spread to the U.S., there
was one person millions of Americans immediately knew we could turn
to for guidance: Dr. Anthony Fauci. As director of the National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Fauci has advised six Presidents over 36 years. When COVID-19 reared its ugly head, he was among the first to step forward with facts and only facts.
Dr. Fauci doesn’t sugarcoat his words and refuses to be pressured by politicians. He delivers the truth, as difficult as it may be to hear, earnestly and with one goal: to save lives. His courage and candor have earned our trust. We are all fortunate to have a man of his wisdom, experience and integrity to help us navigate these difficult waters.

Had Hearing today at the Senate HELP committee Chaired by Sen. Alexander (R- TN) and ranking minority Sen. Murray (D-WA). Had hostile interaction with Se. Rand Paul. I really stuffed him as he spouted out bullshit acting like he is a experienced epidemiologist.
Did Smithsonian sponsored “chat” with Alan Alda. We are very fond of each other. Went very well.
Interviewed with Jon Cohen for an HBO documentary that Jon is doing with David France on COVID-19
PRESS: Much press about my encounter with Sen. Paul
