Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s leading professional on infectious illness, on Tuesday rejected deceiving the general public “under any situations” after President Donald Trump retweeted a claim that he had actually done so.
Fauci, appearing on ABC’s “Excellent Morning America,” was faced with Trump’s evident endorsement of criticism of his failure to back the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a coronavirus treatment. Trump has repeatedly touted the drug– and claimed to be taking it himself– although research studies recommend it is ineffective and has potentially severe negative effects.
” Dr. Fauci has actually misled the American public on lots of concerns, but in specific, on dismissing #hydroxychloroquine and calling Remdesivir the brand-new gold requirement,” the tweet read. Remdesivir, an anti-viral drug, has revealed efficiency in research studies of some coronavirus patients.
” I have not been deceiving the American public under any circumstances,” Fauci stated on ABC.
