Dr. Fauci responds to FireFauci: ‘I don’t think that’s going to happen’
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said he isn’t bothered by calls that he be fired for contradicting President Donald Trump at times over the White House’s response to COVID-19, saying instead he doesn’t “think it’s going to happen.”
Fauci’s comments came a day after Trump sparked concerns he may soon sideline the doctor after retweeting a message that included the hashtag #FireFauci. But the president pushed back against such claims amid questioning from reporters on Monday, saying he still enjoyed working with the doctor. Fauci has quickly become one of the national touchstones for coronavirus guidance during the pandemic, which has infected more than 582,000 people in the U.S. and killed more than 23,500. He has repeatedly pushed back against talking points from the White House, saying he didn’t understand why the whole country wasn’t under stay-at-home orders and questioning the promotion of unproven anti-malarial drugs to treat COVID-19.
“It depends on what you mean by fire me,” Fauci said Monday. “He can remove me from the task force …. I was with him for a while today. He has no intention of doing that.”.@stevescully:"We've received hundreds of emails, I'm going to just paraphrase one of the most common emails...how are you holding up?"
