NIAID Director Fauci Discusses Role In USG Response To COVID-19 In Several Interviews

“…Trump doesn’t like to be upstaged. And speaking truths that clash with Trump’s message risks banishment and ridicule from the president.

As Trump touts an existing malaria drug as a potential treatment (‘I’m probably more of a fan of that — maybe than anybody,’ he said at a press briefing Friday), Fauci made plain that the drug’s effectiveness against the coronavirus is unproven…” (Nicholas, 3/22).

Several other news outlets have interviewed or reported on NIAID Director Anthony Fauci, including The Hill, POLITICO, Science, and Washington Times.
