Anthony Fauci Reveals ‘Serious Threats’ To Himself, His Family
July 24, 2020, 5:50 AMAnthony Fauci revealed a chilling personal consequence of his prominence as the nation’s top infectious disease expert during the coronavirus pandemic.
Fauci said on Thursday that he’s received “serious threats” to himself, his wife and daughters ― requiring them to have extra security ― because of his public role as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and adviser to President Donald Trump on the White House coronavirus task force.
“I’ve seen a side of society that I guess is understandable, but it’s a little bit disturbing,” Fauci told CNN political commentator David Axelrod on the latest episode of “The Axe Files” podcast .
“I mean, really? Is this the United States of America?” he asked.
Fauci’s warnings and advice on the public health crisis ― including advocating social distancing measures and face masks ― has repeatedly put him in conflict with the president and his allies . President Donald Trump has consistently downplayed the pandemic, pressed to reopen schools and businesses, held campaign events that ignored social distancing and refused to wear a face mask until recent days.
White House smears of Fauci prompted thousands of public health experts to sign an open letter to Trump describing it as a “dangerous distraction.”
Fauci compared the threats he receives now to the hate mail that could be pushed aside as “stupid people saying stupid things” when he led the agency’s response to the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980s.
“It’s really a magnitude different now,” he told Axelrod. “As much as people inappropriately, I think, make me somewhat of a hero ... there are people who get really angry at thinking I’m interfering with their life because I’m pushing a public health agenda.”
The hostility against public health issues is “difficult to process,” Fauci added.

If these non masker, sub IQ, death threateners want to get to get together and kill each other off with the CV, fine. But let the doctor do his job and just stfu. Threatening his family? These are acts of cowards, just like their idol.
And now, the idiot "experts" want yet another bite at the poisonous misery apple.
And your great suggestion to halt the increasing rates of hospitalizations and deaths would be exactly what.....?
You've given me a real strong impression that you haven't a clue as to what is coming at us with respect to this virus starting about the second week of September. Put the pieces together Dean.... Kids going back to classrooms in close contact with each other late August. Then in October, cooler weather driving people inside again in close contact. Put annual flu on top of both of those... Think man!
