  1. I always find it weird when in crisis like these people like him who tell the truth get death threats

    1. @Keith Maben Because he has special intellectual capabilities that are beyond the rest of us, and that just happen to make him feel special and superior to fools that believe in things like gravity, planetary motion, and peer-reviewed scientists with credibility established over decades, etc. Or he’s delusional and not the sharpest tool in the shed…I don’t judge.

    2. @woof beast So Trump should die? Becuase all he’s done is lie. And Trump’s the one in power if anyone’s a tyrant it’s him.
      And who are you to contradict Dr. Fauci? Do you have a medical degree? Have you worked for decades in pandemics research? So what makes your pathetic opinion more than his? He’s up there saving the country, and you’re sitting here commenting on youtube videos “woof beast.” If you don’t believe him, walk into a coronavirus ward and get the virus. We need less people like you.

    3. @woof beast Those statistics are correct, although totally backwards, according to Dr. Fauci as he was standing next to Trump in a news conference the other day.

  2. You don’t shoot the messenger! We live in in crazy times, this is unbelievable. This 79 year old man is giving of time when he should be smelling the roses in retirement instead he continues to step up for his country. This man does NOT deserve this pressure to be added to his daily life.

    Have no doubt he will be well protected……he is a national treasure! 👍

  3. People don’t like hearing the truth. The second they hear something they don’t like they go to extreme measures like this

    1. @Efraim Newman Are you completely insane? This is global! Are you really such an arrogant self absorbed a$$hole that you actually think that the entire world is willing to turn itself upside down just to fool americans? News for you: we (the rest of the world) have our own problems right now!

    2. @reelreeler GLOBAL ECONOMY YOU MORON!!!!! I mean I know you really don’t give a good goddamn about anything outside your borders – americans never have given a damn about any other country unless that country has something you want – but one would think you could at least get your head around the idea that viruses don’t care about borders.

    3. Fifty Empire Who was the fool that allowed Trump to crowd 13,000 plus Americans into the North Charleston Coliseum during a pandemic ?

    4. @Ryooken I like what you said. People threaten the person with the FACTS! dumph should not be on tv everyday repeating same dumb stuff..In the beginning of the dumph “political reality show”, people’s differences of opinions were debated. Some of these people are demented and seriously challenged.

    5. @Pauly T THAT’s where you’re wrong pal. The virus starts in china, and yet the worst of it happens in America. VERY VERY FISHY and obviously a lie.

  4. It’s sad. I am proud of him. He is one of the only people willing to tell the truth even when it’s not popular.

  5. Wtf, how delusional do you have to be to want to go out and kill someone who is literally explaining to us all how to not get sick and die.

    1. @TheNajSD is this trump or the people who want to kill or is it most americans or australians for that matter.

    2. @Brian Allen we are the most infected. Fact. We did nothing to contain. Fact. 8.2 billion and only 50 million spent. Fact. ..
      . Go read

    1. @Steve Barnes more concerned about my son , he’s had a kidney transplant and is vulnerable.

    2. @Steve Barnes Jared’s in charge of the covid response , the 666 fifth Ave Omen boy.
      He just did a press conference.

    1. I can’t understand anyone who would believe anything from Chinese media.
      If you look at Italian deaths and see how their average pop density is 5 times higher than the us. Spain is about 3 times higher.
      Im gona call bullshit on china’s reported death toll.
      This is the same country that just kicked out western reporters.

    2. To some extent, we kill the truth too. China and WHO has warned us about the coronavirus since Feb. But anyone at that time thought we should listen to the Chinese and take it seriously?

    3. @Aiden I missed my typos. Hate it when I do that.
      I agree with you. New york has virtually half of all the usa Corona deaths.
      Population density is the strongest metric here. In a land of people packed like sardines is doing better than us… I just don’t buy it.

  6. Must be some real tough guys, threatening to kill a 79-year-old man who is trying to save lives, theirs included.

    1. I completely agree with you. Shooting the messenger has always been one of humanity’s failings when they don’t like or want to hear that message, and especially in a crisis of this kind, that tendency is incredibly dangerous because it will cause more loss of life.

    1. 1.Trump supporters who believe what Trump has said.
      They are mindless cult followers, who watch shows that spread fear and hate
      They will take the word of Trump over a doctor
      2.People who watch Fox News, Alex Jones, Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh, who don’t have a brain of their own.
      3. Mental ill people who haven’t a clue that the doctor is trying to save lives
      Dr. Fauci has been around since the Regan or Bush administration and has help with HIV/AIDS crisis

    2. @wally crail Everybody know doctor killers are Christian far right groups who supports Republican party specially Trump

    3. He is the one who recommends closures I don’t agree with death threats but small business owners are gonna be upset

    4. Because that’s what Trump supporters do. How many mass killings have been committed by Trump supporters since 2016? They are the number one terrorist threat in North America, but the police won’t do anything because the police are their political allies.

  7. GOD bless Dr Fauci he’s trying to save a lot of lives you all need to stop with them death threats no time for this Bullshit.

    1. standing in front of a TV camera is not saving lives. It’s called building up your run for president next election cycle.

  8. Ptobably the same knuckle draggers swapping droplets in a subset of churches then going out in public to try and kill _us_ too 🙄

    1. Like Nigerian maga supporters that only attack gay actors in the snow with bleach.
      Not like we have to keep a spreadsheet of fake libtard hate crimes at fakehatecrimes.Org.
      I watched most of them play out that are on the list.

  9. Somebody upset that Fauci is upstaging the dear leader making him look the incompetent person he is

    1. These right wing fanatics just cant sit still and be quiet, always need someone to hate and threaten..

    2. @Gloria Ryan It is possible to be a conservative and to not support an incompetent leader at the same time.

    1. @Jason Serritt You’re joking right? The doctor is contradicting Trump. And what happens when someone dares to do that? Think about it and only answer if you can be honest with yourself because the rest of us already knows the truth. At some point in an alternative reality Trump went and got himself an M.D. behind his name and knows more than the leading doctors. “Most hospitals only have 2 respirators”? lol. I guess he wasn’t thinking about the ICU wards. Long term critical care wards, NICU wards for babies and children. All of those sections and more have those as well and that was before this outbreak. So of course with a virus that attacks the system that helps you breath (lungs, oxygen carrying red blood cells) the hospital needs more machines. Trump has lived a sheltered life and knows nothing about the world. But ya’ll keep listening to him.

    2. @Doug Lund who is connected to that many dead people you idiot? I bet you haven’t spent two fukin seconds looking into it.
      Here is a sample of how I dig vs you weak betas and your spoon fed news.
      Want to see Heather heyer not get hit by dodge charger. https://twitter.com/SluggoTheElder/status/905631014852100096
      Go ahead and watch other vids to confirm her position and being the only fat girl in all black. All she did was fall down.
      I can do this all day with know nothing morons like you.
      Go look up how mueller team dropped charges on the russian clickbait firm. More proof it was bs all along. Where is your proof trump took russian loans? Where is your trade war. Cnn makes you stupid.
      Only reason I gave your ignorant self that link is because it was already on my clip board. Fools like you never look at anything and aren’t worth the time.

    3. @rks81900 where are your articles of impeachment over the mueller findings moron? I bet you’re too stupid to understand the meaning of that question. Just like if I asked you to name one russian propagated lie that hurt Hillary’s campaign… A question I know you can’t answer and why you can’t.

    4. @cj p I hope you realize people like you are an embarrassment to republicans with common sense. Name one higher income republican that spouts the same garbage you do? None. People like you are the reason most people don’t want to listen to anything a republican has to say. Lol You’re not helping you’re hurting, dummy. Keep your mouth shut.
