Fauci walks back coronavirus comments that sparked fears of his firing
White House health expert Dr. Anthony Fauci on Monday walked back his recent comments about the initial response to the coronavirus.
But Fauci defended President Trump's willingness to support social distancing measures, adding it was "the wrong choice of words" to describe a "pushback." Fauci on Monday evening defended his comments, and Trump's record on the coronavirus, while standing next to the president at the White House's daily briefing on the disease.
"I've been up here many times telling you mitigation works," Fauci said. "So if mitigation works and you initiate it earlier, you probably would have saved more lives. If you initiated it later, you probably would have lost more lives."
