The President of the United States gets his medical information from Laura Ingram rather than the nation’s leading disease specialist. Let that sink in.

Trump should have been charged for Reckless manslaughter for the way he handled that pandemic.

[lindacrowe]

Dr.Fauci is 83 and his mind is crisp and clear.

I’m sorry you had a sociopath as your boss.

[kerryharding]

Thank you for all you have done to help humanity.

[capybara]

A man of great courage and dignity. A superb public servant.

If FOX NOISE had been around in the 50s we would still be fighting Polio!

[glenndarling]

Why did he want something that he called a hoax to go away? Maybe because it wasn't a hoax?

[josephelza]

I felt for Fauci throughout the whole first year of Covid. Having to deal with an 80 year old toddler who's in charge of the country had to be infuriating

[davenixon]

Dr Fauci, NOBODY has been more ABUSED by Donald Trump than you have regarding the pandemic!
Thank you for your service!

[picassopete]

I taught leadership and what happened under 45 during Covid just made me sick. So many died.

[Vitoandolini]

I despised Imus for giving Ingraham a platform for selling her hate and anger

[tennyceb]

Thank goodness for you Dr. Fauci. That’s a fact.

[chrisjames]

Reason #1, 0000, 000 that Trump shouldn't come near the White House again.

[denize]

How this man is treated by our country still makes me cry.😢

[georgehopkins]

Every disaster movie starts with the government, not listening to a scientist.

Trump march 2020: "the pandemic will be over by easter"
Over 1 million dead americans later...

[birdie]

Thank you for all you did in a very difficult situation.

[dlxqxoj]

Shows what rubbish the GOP will believe

[melrosabal]

Trump and his followers are so out touch with reality it’s sickening!
