US President Donald J. Trump has repeatedly undermined Dr. Anthony Fauci's assessments and guidance about the coronavirus pandemic. Now, Business Insider reports Fauci admitted Tuesday that his experience serving in the Trump administration has been 'somewhat awkward.' It's not a happy day when you have to get up in front of national TV and contradict something that the President of the United States says. I take no pleasure in that at all. Dr. Anthony Fauci Interview, Harvard Business Review Fauci has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984. He's worked with every US president since Ronald Reagan. But Trump has repeatedly contradicted Fauci's assessment of the pandemic and pushed back against necessary public-health measures.
Dr. Anthony Fauci says he and his wife would be thrilled if their three daughters came to spend Thanksgiving with them in Washington, D.C. But according to Business Insider, the daughters intend to stay right where they are, in various cities across the country that aren't low in COVID-19 cases. Fauci said in a webinar hosted by American University that his daughters want to protect him from the novel coronavirus. The seemingly tireless doctor is 79 years old. Like Fauci, other public health experts have said there's no one answer as to whether you should visit family over the holidays. I'm not going to criticize people who do it differently, but look at the individual situation in your own family and make a decision that way. Dr. Anthony Fauci
A former public affairs official of the US Department of Health and Human Services pressured the CDC to alter a report on the risk of COVID-19 to children. Specifically, the editorial staff was pushed to alter epidemiological data on COVID-19's impact on children. The novel coronavirus is estimated to have infected at least 7.43 million people in the US and has killed nearly 210,000 of them. Paul Alexander wrote in emails to the editor-in-chief of the CDC’s epidemiological digest—the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report—on Sept. 11th, 2020. He ordered changes that would downplay the risks to students and faculty if schools return to in-person classes, as President Donald Trump has demanded. The requested changes seemed designed to convey a lower level of risk to students if Trump’s orders were acted on. One former CDC official described Alexander making contact at all with the journal’s staff as highly 'unusual.' That's because the CDC and its journal are supposed to be insulated from external interference.
