Fauci says family has faced threats, harassment amid pandemic

Source: The Hill

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said he and his family are getting death threats because of people don’t like what he says about COVID-19.

“Getting death threats for me, and my family, and harassing my daughters, to the point where I have to get security is just — I mean, it’s amazing,” Fauci said during an interview with CNN’s Sanjay Gupta on Wednesday.

“I wouldn’t have imagined in my wildest dreams that people who object to things that are pure public health principles, are so set against it and don’t like what you and I say, namely in the world of science, that they actually threaten you.”

He noted that crises like COVID-19 has brought out the best of people but also the worst of people.

Maybe, but they would be isolated cases of anti government assholes, maybe a couple thousand TOTAL in the country, but with the traitor we have MILLIONS of people who want to threaten this hero.
