Dr. Anthony Fauci Reflects on, One-Year
Anniversary, of COVID-19 Pandemic.
One year ago, the World
Health Organization (WHO) formally
declared COVID-19 a global pandemic.
In a new interview with the
‘Today’ show, Dr. Anthony Fauci
took the time to reflect on
the dismal anniversary.
Dr. Fauci was asked how he would’ve
reacted if he had been told one year ago that
the U.S. would see half a million deaths.
It would have shocked me
completely … I mean,
I knew we were in for
trouble … I said it then,
‘we better be really careful.’ , Dr. Anthony Fauci, via 'Today'.
In fact, that day
at a congressional hearing, I made the
statement ‘things are gonna get much worse
before they get better’ and that was at a
congressional hearing a year ago today, Dr. Anthony Fauci, via 'Today'.
Dr. Fauci admitted that he didn’t think “much worse”
would come to mean so many deaths.
When asked what went wrong early
on in the pandemic, Dr. Fauci blamed
the “divisiveness in our country.” .
One of the things I keep harkening back
to that you can’t run away from is that
we had such divisiveness in our country that
even simple, common-sense public health
measures took on a political connotation, Dr. Anthony Fauci, via 'Today'
