More and more Republicans a speaking out and expressing their disapproval of Anthony Fauci including Former congressman Ron Paul.
Former congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul on Thursday called for the firing of Dr.Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease specialist leading President Trump’s medical response to the #coronavirus pandemic.
"Republican Senate hopeful Shiva Ayyadurai also calls for firing of U.S. pandemic-control czar Dr. Anthony Fauci"
Mr. Ron Paul, is a retired doctor who ran three times for president during his decades in politics, also called #Dr Fauca“fraud” and encouraged Americans to “quit listening to him.”
The Texas Republican said on his show. they have to fire him by saying, ‘He’s a fraud.’”
“He should be fired, but if you don’t do it in the literal sense, the people have to fire him,”
Paul went on to accused Fauci of wanting “total control” over the American people.
Paul, who is a doctor, previously called the #coronavirus “a big hoax” that the government is using to take away people’s rights.
“People should ask themselves whether this coronavirus ‘pandemic’ could be a big hoax, with the actual danger of the disease massively exaggerated by those who seek to profit — financially or politically — from the ensuing panic,” Paul wrote last month.
Paul’s less recent comments came under further scrutiny after his son Rand, a Republican from Kentucky, became the first, and so far only, member of the U.S. Senate to test positive for the virus.
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, reportedly got into an argument with White House economic adviser Peter Navarro over hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug that has shown signs of improving symptoms of some coronavirus patients.
Fauci insists there is no "strong" evidence that the drug can treat the coronavirus. Navarro has called for a "second opinion."
In a fieryinterviewon CNN’s “New Day,” Navarro appeared to confirm media accounts of his altercation with Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, during a meeting of the White House coronavirus task force Saturday. The clash focused on the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, a controversial potential treatment for the coronavirus that President Donald Trump has promoted despite limited clinical evidence.
