Last summer, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases chief Anthony Fauci was reportedly sent mail containing white powder that "literally blew up in his face," Politico writes, per a preview of the new book Nightmare Scenario by Yasmeen Abutaleb and Damian Paletta.

Fauci believed the mysterious white substance to be one of three things: a prank "to scare him;" anthrax, which would make him "seriously ill but which he could probably survive;" or ricin, which would make him a "dead duck."

Luckily, chemical testing came back negative for both anthrax and ricin, but not before Fauci was hosed "down to his skivvies in a chemical lab," standing "naked in what looked like a kiddy pool" while his team awaited results, per Politico.

The colder the water, the better.

Standard decon.

The water’s cold too...

[Dalberg-Acton]

“down to his skivvies” is not “naked”

[HighSierra5]

How bout tar and feathers?

“Turn that water on full force! I don’t even care that it’s cold water. I’m not that worried about ‘shrinkage’ right now!”

[Jeff Chandler]

Ew.

[Impy]

What a shame.

[CheshireTheCat]

Can he really shrink anymore anyway?

That was Hunter’s drugs.

Anthony Fauci was ... naked, 'in ... a kiddy pool'

Fixed it for you! /sarc>

WTH? The mans looking for sympathy now to cover up his crimes against humanity?

The chimp makes Dr Mengele look like a grade school dropout.

LOL.

I didn’t need these images as I’m about to go to sleep, either...this tops even the horrific memory of his pitch at last year’s Nationals opening game:

A kiddy pool?

Why so big?

They could have put The Tiny Little Lyin Guy in a bathroom sink with room to spare...

I worked for many years in a plant that handled a lot of caustic chemicals. You'd be surprised at how quickly men and women can lose their inhibitions when they think they've been contaminated and need to get under a shower.

Spill training came in handy for me personally in my house when I was making a batch of Sriracha Sauce in a Smoothie maker and it blew up in my face. Standing naked with your eyes wide open while running cold water into them for 30 minutes isn't fun but I can still see.

There are plenty of deadly ‘white organic’ powders !

Why would this idiot limit himself to only two possibilities ?!?

What’s with Politico pushing books lately as if they’re a neutral news organization?

I'm sorry. I thought this was the task force meeting

[dragnet2]

You can’t make this chet up.

I sure hope there is video of this.
