Fauci ripped over new paper criticizing Trump on coronavirus, promoting natural origin theory: ‘Embarrassment’
In a recent turn of events, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the leading figure in the federal government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, has come under fire for a manuscript published in a prestigious journal. The paper, titled “HIV/AIDS and COVID-19: Shared Lessons from Two Pandemics,” co-authored by Fauci and researcher Gregory Folkers, has sparked controversy for its criticisms of former President Trump’s handling of the pandemic.
In the paper, Fauci and Folkers highlight what they perceive as failures in leadership on the part of President Trump during the COVID-19 pandemic. They point to Trump’s minimization of the seriousness of the virus and his promotion of unproven and potentially dangerous treatments such as bleach injections, hydroxychloroquine, and ivermectin. The authors argue that Trump’s actions were detrimental to efforts to mitigate the impact of the pandemic.
Furthermore, the paper asserts that the virus originated in nature and was transmitted from an animal reservoir to humans in the Huanan market in Wuhan, China. This claim contradicts the theory that the virus may have leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, a hypothesis that has gained traction in recent months.
The publication of this paper has reignited criticism of Fauci and his handling of the pandemic. Critics have pointed to what they perceive as inaccuracies and misrepresentations in the paper, including the debunked claim that Trump advised people to inject themselves with bleach.
In addition to the controversy surrounding the paper, Fauci has also come under scrutiny for his admission that keeping schools closed for a year was not a good idea. Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) School Board member Nick Melvoin recently weighed in on the issue, joining Fox & Friends to discuss Fauci’s comments and the decision to ban smartphones during the school day in Los Angeles.
Overall, Fauci’s recent actions and statements have sparked debate and criticism, with many questioning his credibility and leadership during the pandemic. As the public face of the government’s pandemic response, Fauci continues to be a polarizing figure in the ongoing fight against COVID-19.
