DR. FAUCI: President Trump is Giving People Hope, That’s ‘Not an Unreasonable Thing’
Coronavirus Task Force leader Dr. Anthony Fauci weighed-in this weekend on President Trump’s handling of the global pandemic; saying the Commander-in-Chief was giving people hope during a national crisis.
“Many of the things that you hear out there may be true… but they’re anecdotal. The only thing I was saying is that if you want to know if something works, you have to do the kind of trial where you get the good information,” said Fauci.
“The President is talking about hope for people. It’s not an unreasonable thing to hope for people. When you have approved drugs… There are those who lean towards giving hope, and you have the other group to prove without a doubt that a drug is safe,” he added.

“It’s been three and a half years of hate, lies, smears; they’ve got it wrong. They got it wrong again, we have all the evidence,” said Hannity.
“Thank God Joe Biden’s not in there, he wouldn’t know what the hell is going on… There are very serious questions that have been concerning me… I want to know how long are we supposed to hunker down? What happens after we’re done hunkering down?” asked Levin.
“They’re not developing an immunity… Isn’t this why people keep saying this will be seasonable?” he added.
