- What?On a phone call with presidential campaign staff, President Donald Trump fired Anthony Faucin, the highest expert on American infectious diseases, calling it a <x0-catastrophy”.
“People are tired of COVID”, Trump said. “People are tired of listening to Faucin and all these idiots”, he added, CNN reports.
The president added that if he had heard the doctor about COVID-19, the U.S. would have “500 thousand deaths”
According to Johns Hopkins University, about 220 thousand people have died so far because of coronavirus in America.
Fauci, who has served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for nearly 40 years, has repeatedly requested a careful and scientific approach to pandemic.
Fauci reacted last week after Trump's campaign used him in an ad to re-election the president, in which, according to him, quoted “completely out of context”. He also said it wasn't a surprise that Trump was infected with the virus.
