Fauci says he was misinterpreted in CNN interview on 'mitigation'

After the White House said top U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci would not be fired because of an interview with CNN in which he said earlier mitigation could have saved more lives, Fauci said the nature of the 'hypothetical' question got him in some 'difficulty'.

He’s sick of being caught in the middle of mom and dads argument

[noface]

The dirty look he gave the reporter at the end. Priceless 😂

[DeathAtARaveOfficial]

Damn, you could tell the last question kinda pissed him off.

[quasimobius]

"Don't even imply that!"
Telling it like it is. Thanks Reuters.

[autodidact]

The look he gave the journalists at the end

[robynshillinger]

I respect him more now. He’s managed to speak truth to power AND keep his job!
You rock doc!

[reellivin]

My hat is off to you Dr Fauci, thank you for all you have done

[errolvanzie]

I knew this was going to happen. Poor man just wants to do his job.

[er]

LET THE MAN DO HIS JOB!!! STOP LIGHTING UP HIS A** WHEN HE’S TRYING TO SAVE LIVES!! Seriously the media is feening for the drama.

[fellowcomrade]

Can we stop trying to push our agendas and for once and actually work together to solve this issue. Reporters are literally instigating problems in a time where we need to be united.

[petermwheeler]

He's sick of the media, and you know what? So am I.

[lmj]

No... the look in his eyes when he “ says no, don’t even imply he is tired of every single stupid play on words crap- waste of time... let’s get to the real conferences and moving forward/.... he’s a good one

[Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence]

Guys like Fauci need a lay interpreter.

The media is doing a wonderful job of bringing us all against them.

[bnatural]

The man is finding a way to keep his job and continue his work. Nothing but respect for him

[Vet]

The media these days is so toxic and biased. I'm sick of this circus.

[merritttynefield]

Oooo she got the death stare....”don’t even imply that..>dramatic pause and stare<“...thank you Dr. Fauci!!

[altp]

He's trying to save lives so he's curtailing what he said so Trump would stop having a tantrum and taking neglectful actions like prematurely reopening the country.

[martin]

that look he gave the reporter was honestly well deserved. This man is working hard to save lives, and all media wants to do is drag him in a political battle. Shame on all of them(Democratic, and Republican News Outlets)

[macs]

Damn that look on his face when they asked him if he was being forced to make statement!! Everyone just needs to simmer!

[ThePookie]

He rolled his eyes at her. Damn! I am surprised he didn’t give her the hand 🖐
