Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the White House’s most prominent health responders to COVID-19 and a target in President Donald Trump’s attempts to downplay the pandemic, said on Thursday that he and his family have been receiving threats.
“I’ve seen a side of society that I guess is understandable, but it’s a little bit disturbing,” Fauci said
Yet it seems to be rather particular to this society. From abroad as I watch with heavy heart, I’m having a hard time encountering anything comparable in magnitude to the Fox News-induced madness afflicting and destroying the US.
This is just another indication of how many mentally ill people there are in this country and that a significant percentage of them are capable of violence. We can thank Fox, talk radio, Reagan, and Republicans in general for this state of affairs. If this country is going to survive, the current level of violent insanity has to be tamped down and it probably is going to take decades.
The only man doing things right…with America’s best interest driving him gets this? Lets not blame it on Trump supporters. If Trump had shown respect for Dr. Fauci he would not be in this position. Trump supporters are responding to TRUMP…and that’s why we have this.
I wouldn’t blame Dr. Fauci if he just said ‘fuck this shit.’ It would be a tragedy, a disaster, but getting dog-whistled by the Administration?–he’s pushing 80 and has a family to think of–Trump is an abscess.
“I’ve seen a side of society that I guess is understandable, but it’s a little bit disturbing,” Fauci said in a podcast interview with CNN commentator David Axelrod.
It’s really very disturbing that someone with scientific credentials, tells the truth and is doing Americans a great public service during a pandemic is being threatened because someone infamous cannot accept the truth or his failures, and that infamous someone is stochastically terrorizing anyone who opposes him through his maggot-brained base!

Johns Hopkins University data records the US’ first Covid-19 case on January 21. The US went from:
1 to 1 million cases in 99 days
1 million to 2 million cases in 43 days
2 million to 3 million cases in 28 days
3 million to 4 million cases in 15 days
I’m going to vote for her anyway, but you can’t out-republican a republican. I heard of a recent poll (I pray it is not true but know better) that has Mitch up double digits.
This raging hostility toward Dr. Fauci is repulsive and it is
Belligerent ignorance.
Weaponized stupidity.
It defies common sense.
Also - note that the curtain was pulled back even more the other day when the lunatic fringe faction of Republicans attacked - brutally attacked - Liz Cheney … and one of their justifications - one of the things that made them so furious at her -was that she has been supportive of Dr. Fauci … she has not endorsed their efforts to attack & discredit Dr. Fauci! So - right there -these idiots went on record that they have it out for Fauci … (undermining the BS from the White House that claims to support Dr. Fauci)… they acknowledged that they have invested their time and energy seeking to destroy him … and they are pissed off at Liz Cheney because she won’t help them … and are mad that she is not willing to spread lies about him.
It’s always shoot the messenger. What is it people don’t get about a smart, life long public employee that has been doing his job. He didn’t create the bloody virus,
We are living in a country that I honestly do not recognize.
Imagine having nothing better to do than to send death threats to a person because that person has disagreed with a madman. These people have been convinced that anything that limits Trump is an existential threat to them. When Trump is out of power, either because of removal from office, loss of an election, death or another medical event, what will become of these people? It’s sobering to consider, but I’m ready to find out.
