Doctors hit back at Fauci detractors
It began when a White House official published an op-ed trying to discredit Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top health expert who has helped steer the US through the coronavirus pandemic so far reports BuzzFeed News
Peter Navarro, an assistant to the president and a director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, criticized Fauci, saying the health expert has “been wrong on everything” that Navarro has interacted with him on.
The response to Navarro has been swift. More than 1,000 health officials came together with a broad defense of Fauci, who has led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984.
The tone was direct. The executive director of the American Public Health Association said:“…the people speaking out against Tony Fauci have absolutely no medical credibility, no public health credibility, and frankly, no policy credibility when it comes to any kind of disaster or situation involving human health.”
