Dr. Anthony Fauci says the coronavirus misinformation that former President Donald Trump spread for almost a year “very likely” cost American lives.
When asked by CNN’s John Berman on Friday morning whether Trump’s “lack of openness” and “lack of facts” about COVID-19 “cost lives,” Fauci replied, “You know it very likely is.”
The diplomat, the nation’s leading infectious disease specialist, immediately added, “You know, I don’t want this to be a soundbite.”
He also accused Trump of “going down ways that are not based on any science at all,” and called Trump’s wild forays into false “cures” like hydroxychloroquine, “not helpful at all, and especially when you are in the situation, almost in that Able to be a crisis. “
“When you talk about things that don’t make sense medically or scientifically, it’s clearly not helping,” Fauci said.
Clock:
NOW: “It was very likely.”
