Dr. Anthony Fauci: "I didn't create political divisiveness"

A case can be made that no one over the past 20 months has been more involved and more visible in the battle against COVID-19 than Dr. Anthony Fauci.

More than 30 years ago, Fauci was being demonized by AIDS activists for not doing enough. These days the ranks of Fauci critics have multiplied. But if anything in this age of COVID, the charge now is that Fauci has done too much.

Last month, Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn said, "This 'demon doctor' must never be allowed to escape justice." And Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson charged, "Here's a guy who fully expected to spend his life giving prostate exams … and there he was declaring the ancient Christian calendar null and void."
