Coronavirus: 'These attacks on experts are going to haunt us,' doctor says
Trump recently hinted that if he were to be re-elected, he would consider firing Dr. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), after months of the president largely ignoring Fauci’s medical advice.
New President-elect Joe Biden unveiled his own coronavirus task force on Monday morning and has promised to listen to experts and follow the science amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. (Confirmed coronavirus cases reached new highs last week, surpassing 100,000 daily cases for several days in a row.)
In any case, the current White House’s shunning of scientific experts have taken a toll.
“You have to remember that Dr. Fauci is being attacked not for any vice or mistake, but for his virtue,” Dr. Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “Not for any weakness but for his strength, and not for any kind of any kind of incompetence but for his competence. He’s actually a protector of the United States, something that the president has failed to be able to do from the very beginning, so I do think that people need to pay for the incompetence, but it’s actually the president and the vice president who need to answer for it, and these attacks on experts are going to haunt us for years to come.”
