More than a year ago, Americans welcomed Anthony Fauci into their homes as a sober scientist who was helping them make sense of a deadly new virus. But he has worn out that welcome.

Folks, I am rarely speechless, but I can’t think of anything to say anything other than thank you! Over 80% of all American book sales are through Amazon, which means FAUCIAN BARGAIN is now officially the best-selling nonfiction book in the country. https://t.co/4CCwXgcBSM— Steve Deace (@SteveDeaceShow) April 7, 2021---------------------

White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci pushed back Friday on various criticisms directed at him by lawmakers, former federal officials and others during a wide-ranging interview on "Your World". Fauci, 80, told host Neil Cavuto he doesn't understand why people see him as a partisan figure when his job is to help develop medical responses to viruses like COVID-19. "You know, Neil, I've been a symbol to them of what they don't like about anything that has to do with things that are contrary to them, anything outside of their own realm," he said.

Rep. Mark Meadows, the ex-White House chief of staff, continued his fierce criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday, wondering aloud why the nation’s top disease expert has been so quiet on the COVID-19 dangers unraveling at the southern border. "There was no policy, medical or otherwise, that Dr. Fauci wouldn’t weigh in on when President Trump was in the White House," the North Carolina Republican tweeted. "Curious we haven't heard from the same Dr. Fauci on Joe Biden releasing thousands of COVID untested migrants into the U.S." Meadows was referring to reports of migrants overwhelming U.S. Border Patrol agents...

Meghan McCain told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” that President Joe Biden should replace his chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci. Referencing Fauci’s appearance Sunday on CNN, McCain said, “Next week it’ll be a year since we left studio, and I have been very responsible in many different ways as so many Americans have been, and the fact that Dr. Fauci is going on CNN, and he can’t tell me that if I get the vaccine if I’ll be able to have dinner with my family or dinner with, you know, I don’t have any grandparents left, but,...

1. Does Fauci have a Napoleonic Complex? Well, he doesn't play well with others, not exactly a team player. That helps explain how he has held on to his bureaucratic position for nearly 40-years, preventing all others from ascending to the job.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) November 2, 2020 2. That is, he is a skilled and brutal bureaucratic insider who relies on his long-time media contacts for assistance. Biden and Fauci are old buddies, having served in DC their entire careers, and having screwed up the response to the swine flu together in 2009.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow)...

President Trump late Sunday night hinted that he may fire White House Coronavirus Task Force member Dr. Anthony Fauci after the election. The president went on the riff while speaking about the pandemic during his fifth rally of the day in Opa-locka, Florida. As Trump lamented news coverage of the virus, the crowd erupted into a “Fire Fauci” chant. After the crowd simmered down, Trump said: “Don’t tell anybody, but let me wait till a little bit after the election. “I appreciate the advice,” Trump said, to roaring cheers.

Dr. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), expressed support for a national mask mandate earlier this week in an interview on CNBC. On Friday, Dr. Fauci said parents should take the initiative to ensure their children are wearing them as part of their costumes. “As I always joke around when people ask me, I don’t want to be the Grinch that steals Halloween and the Grinch that steals Thanksgiving,” said Dr. Fauci to Survivor Corps, a group focused on fighting coronavirus. “But I would really be careful about having kids just going from...

In 2020, fan girls everywhere appear to have pivoted from fangirling over Harry Styles to fangirling over science (OK, and still a little bit of Harry Styles). The most recent example? Kelly Ripa. And the boy catching her eye is none other than Dr. Anthony Fauci himself. Dr. Anthony Fauci quickly became an icon this year as one of the main figures leading the country through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci even told InStyle in July, “With all due modesty, I think I'm pretty effective." As always, Dr. Fauci is right. (Although, we'd definitely give him more credit and say...

But he has said before that he doesn't think a federal law would be the way to go. "I don't like to be authoritarian from the federal government, but at the local level, if governors and others essentially mandate the use of masks when you have an outbreak, I think that would be very important," Fauci told Alabama Sen. Doug Jones during a Facebook live event in July. Until now. "Well, if people are not wearing masks, then maybe we should be mandating it," Fauci told CNN's Erin Burnett Friday. Christie urges Americans to wear a mask and says they...

Time for Fauci to shut up. His partisan political comments are undermining government scientists who are serious about their expertise. https://t.co/8JQqooUKgz— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) October 19, 2020

(CNN)President Donald Trump revived his public criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci Tuesday morning, continuing his efforts to undermine the infectious disease expert even as the doctor said he's not going to bow to pressure. Trump contended in the tweet that Fauci's pitching arm -- a reference to his poor first pitch at Nationals Park -- is "far more accurate than his prognostications." Fauci's recommendations and assessments have largely been in line with public health experts throughout the coronavirus pandemic but not aligned with what the President perceives his political interests to be. On Monday, Fauci said he is not deterred...

By Rebecca Shabad WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Tuesday mocked Dr. Anthony Fauci’s pitching arm and the predictions he has made about the coronavirus pandemic. Trump posted the comment on Twitter when he retweeted a story about Fauci saying he was taken out of context in a new Trump campaign ad. “Actually, Tony’s pitching arm is far more accurate than his prognostications. 'No problem, no masks'." Trump wrote. "WHO no longer likes Lockdowns - just came out against. Trump was right. We saved 2,000,000 USA lives!!!”

The nation’s top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci demanded that the Trump campaign refrain from using him in future campaign ads, saying Monday that it would be “outrageous” and “terrible” if he was featured in another commercial and it could “come back to backfire” on Team Trump. Asked by The Daily Beast if his comments were a thinly-veiled thread to leave his post if he ended up in a new campaign spot, Fauci: “Not a chance.” "Not in my wildest freakin dreams,” he said, “did I ever think about quitting." From there, Fauci went on to explain what he...

Dr. Anthony Fauci's daughters won't spend Thanksgiving with him in Washington, despite him and his wife saying they'd love to host them. The women, who live in three different parts of the country, decided against the visit to protect their father from the novel coronavirus, Fauci said in a webinar hosted by American University. While there's no one answer to whether you should visit family for the holidays, experts recommend weighing the practical risks with the mental-health benefits. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. The nation's top infectious-disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, won't be spending Thanksgiving with his daughters...

On Oct. 4, 2020, three preeminent experts — Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard University; Dr. Sunetra Gupta, an epidemiologist at Oxford University; and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a physician and epidemiologist at Stanford University — delivered the following declaration, calling for a different approach to dealing with the novel coronavirus than the lockdown model: As infectious-disease epidemiologists and public-health scientists, we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental-health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection. Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted...

Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, pointed out Monday evening that some coronavirus patients experience a “reversal” after they start to feel better. “He looks fine as you can see the way he looked when he came out of the hospital,” Fauci told CNN’s Chris Cuomo. “The issue is that he’s still early enough in the disease that it’s no secret that if you look at the clinical course of people sometimes, when you’re five to eight days in, you can have a reversal. A reversal meaning going in the wrong direction and getting into...

Protesters gathered outside the RTE studios in Donnybrook on Friday to tell Late Late Show guest Dr Anthony Fauci to ‘go home’. The American immunologist has served as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, and appeared on Friday’s episode of the Late Late Show via Zoom to speak to Ryan Tubridy about the progress of the COVID-19 pandemic. Posts encouraging people to protest Dr Fauci’s appearance on the Late Late Show circulated on social media earlier this week, announcing that a ‘rally for truth’ would be held from 5pm on September 25 outside ‘the...

On Monday night, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah welcomed Dr. Fauci onto the program to try to cut through the noise. And Dr. Fauci, who’s served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, addressed how the Trump administration had turned mask-wearing and the prospect of reopening the country into a partisan debate. “Public health measures should be more of a gateway and a pathway to opening the country as opposed to the obstacle to opening the country,” explained Dr. Fauci. “So what has evolved now is that people almost take sides, like wearing...
