The nation’s top infectious disease expert said he “wouldn’t have imagined in my wildest dreams” that people would threaten him over public health principles.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday that he’s had to hire security to protect himself and his family after receiving death threats from people who object to his work on the coronavirus pandemic and the science behind regulations.
During a livestreamed talk with CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta hosted by Harvard’s School of Public Health, the infectious disease expert said he was taken aback by the harassment he and his family have received in the last few months.
Noting that crisis “brings out the best of people and the worst of people,” Fauci said, “getting death threats for me and my family and harassing my daughters to the point where I have to get security, it’s amazing.”
Fauci said his wife and daughters were “fine” but stressed by the threats.
“I wouldn’t have imagined in my wildest dreams that people who object to things that are pure public health principles are so set against it and don’t like what you and I say, namely in the world of science, that they actually threaten you,” he said.

I find this very disturbing and sad. I wonder what kind of people would threaten a health official like Dr. Fauci and his family. Sad...
I'm not surprised.
The people who are doing this are far right radical extremists who have been brainwashed to believe anyone who doesn't agree with them is their enemy. So in their minds it's ok to kill or harm people.
I am disgusted and sickened by this.
says the lefty while lefty mobs are literally killing people in the streets and she supports them.
mmm.
