Fauci, an Italian-American virologist who gained widespread recognition as the face of the White House response to the Covid epidemic, has expressed his fear of being killed. Despite wishing he didn’t have to dwell on such a possibility, he acknowledges that it is the stark truth. Fauci has faced relentless harassment from far-right groups in recent years and has been targeted by numerous death threats.
As the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci reflects on the unfortunate reality that the Covid pandemic unfolded during a time of deep societal divisions. He acknowledges the impact of these divisions on his own safety, as he continues to navigate the challenges presented by those who oppose his work and message.
Fauci explains that his role in managing the crisis attracted extremist individuals who saw him as someone to attack. He believes that this is because his work often goes against their political beliefs and values. Despite this, Fauci remains committed to continuing his work in finding a solution to the Covid pandemic and ensuring public health for all.
