Former US President Donald Trump criticized the director of the National Institute of Allergic and Infectious Diseases of Anthony Faucci for his advice at the beginning of the pandemic. This was done after the main infectiousist published in the open access of the working correspondence 2020, the TASS reports.
messages contain information that Fauci at the beginning of the pandemic opposed the wearing medical masks by citizens, and then sharply changed its position. In addition, his responses were not published regarding the laboratory origin of the coronavirus. Initially, the specialist insisted on the versions of natural appearance, but then made other options.
“Looking at these emails, I can say that our country was lucky that I did not act as Dr. Fauci wanted me,” said Trump. He added that the chief infectiousist gave him the wrong advice, which then was not followed by the US president. For example, we are talking about closing borders with China, and then with Europe, despite criticism. According to the ex-leader, this decision saved the lives of people.
The former head of the White House added that Fauci did not support the idea of creating a vaccine and stated that it would take from three to five years, and stated that it was developed to develop a drug less than nine months, and now it can be argued that The vaccination against COVID-19 will save the world, and billion risks turned out to be justified.
Trump concluded that the main infectious player of the United States should answer many questions, in particular, what exactly he knew about the studies that were produced in Wuhan laboratory.
Earlier, Faucci received gratitude from the representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) Peter Dashak (Peter Daszak) for the fact that he “defended” China from the accusations of leakage of coronavirus from the laboratory. In his letter, Dashak thanked him for the publication of scientific data, which confirm the primary transmission of COVID-19 from the volatile mouse to the person and refute the version of the laboratory virus development.
