The top White House coronavirus adviser under two presidents, Dr. Anthony Fauci, gave the wrong answers to the major epidemiological and public health questions posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, contend two experts on infectious disease outbreaks.

Here are the key issues that Fauci got wrong, they contend:
Natural immunity: "By pushing vaccine mandates, Dr. Fauci ignores naturally acquired immunity among the COVID-recovered, of which there are more than 45 million in the United States."
Protecting the elderly: "While anyone can get infected, there is more than a thousand-fold difference in mortality risk between the old and the young."
School closures: "Schools are major transmission points for influenza, but not for COVID."
Masks: "For children, there is no solid scientific evidence that masks work."
Contact tracing: "For a commonly circulating viral infection such as COVID, it was a hopeless waste of valuable public health resources that did not stop the disease."
Collateral public health damage: "As an immunologist, Dr. Fauci failed to properly consider and weigh the disastrous effects lockdowns would have on cancer detection and treatment, cardiovascular disease outcomes, diabetes care, childhood vaccination rates, mental health and opioid overdoses, to name a few."
