As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci helped lead the U.S. government's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. In a wide-ranging interview with CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jonathan LaPook for "CBS News Sunday Morning," Dr. Fauci reveals he was offered millions of dollars to leave his top spot in government to join major corporations.
The interview will be broadcast on Sunday, June 16 on CBS and streamed on Paramount +.
In his exclusive conversation with Dr. LaPook, Dr. Fauci talks about his work in the COVID-19 fight; his earlier experience helping find answers to the epidemic of HIV/AIDS; his childhood in New York City; his reaction to hostile questioning at a recent congressional hearing; and his new memoir, "On Call: A Doctor's Journey in Public Service" (to be published June 18 by Viking Press).
