Why would a doctor needs to be surrounded by three body guards at all time?, wake up people.

[afridgetoofar]

I’m shocked they left the comments turned on

[rblanks]

he left because he knows hes culpible for millions of deaths

[geoffsimpkins]

This fraud and money launderer gets the premium thumbs up from the BBC. Who would have thought otherwise?

[ATGL]

BBC you should be ashamed of yourself ! No longer the journalistic standard of the world.

[franoreck]

You never answered the question? Do you have investment s in any pharmaceutical s?

[nielsturegroenlund]

The fact that a retired doctor and government official needs Secret Service protection 24/7 speaks some depressing truths about U.S. politics...

[christophercoffey]

She didnt ask if he is still "THE SCIENCE"

[bugattibezzy]

America hasn’t forgotten what all of you have done to our country. USA USA 🇺🇸

“When you question me, you’re questioning the $cience.”

[carolm]

How shallow could this interview be? Actually it looks more like they're on a date. Ridiculous. There are so many questions that could have been asked.

[ShapingFaces]

Could not help laughing when he said he has done this for public service: he is a multi millionaire with his entanglements between the state and big business. One has to recognise his ability to cold heartedly survive the deceptions and deviant scheming.

[DirtyWopBastard]

if we all made a list of the top 100 questions we would ask Fauci, you would have asked none of them. Good job, puppet

[exbronco]

It's kind of weird seeing a retired scientist have this kind of security. He looks like a King or a president or something.

[thook]

Dr. Fauci "Evil Personified" would have been a much more fitting title

[tonipaulvir]

Don’t they ask him about the research he was doing?

[eileenkast]

Wow! So glad Katy really did hard hitting journalism! A PATHETIC JOKE!

[rblanks]

we live in an absurd world wherein people honor this monster.

[McKinleyMorann]

BBC - why the gushing, fawning tone?? He’s not George Clooney. Ask him some real questions ffs. Woeful.

[JohnSmith-rrhc]

This video gives me confidence that the media sucks, thank you 😢😂
