Dr. Fauci Fears He Will Be Killed After Trump…

Dr. Anthony Fauci recently revealed via Mediaite that he fears someone will “kill” him over his role in Covid-era lockdowns as then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), following media attacks by Trump fans.

In an interview on Wednesday with USA Today while promoting his new book titled On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public ServiceFauci stated that he has a security team with him every day. Fauci claimed he feels safe, but feels “deep down” he could be targeted.

“I still think deep down that there is a possibility that someone is going to kill me,” he said. “So that’s a possibility I’d rather not have to think about, but it’s true.”

A West Virginia man was sentenced to three years in 2022 for sending email threats to Fauci about him and his family. It is noted that the disease expert said he has become the “target of people with extremist views.”

“One of the unfortunate aspects of the outbreak was that it occurred at a time of great division in our society,” he said, recalling several tense conversations with then-President Donald Trump during the pandemic.

The doctor acknowledged that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and others sometimes “conveyed more certainty” than they actually had.

Fauci has also faced the wrath of Republican lawmakers, some of whom have argued he belongs behind bars.

“You just answer the question as best you can. You can’t let them push you around, but you can’t get into a foolish battle,” he said.
