Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for more than three decades, has grappled with several public health crises, including the AIDS epidemic and now, COVID-19. In an interview with CNN's David Axelrod, Fauci said the magnitude of criticism he is receiving now is different than in the past, and that he and his family have been seriously threatened.
On "The Axe Files" podcast, Axelrod asked Fauci about how he's become a target during the pandemic, as people who have suffered economic hardships have become angry.
"I've seen a side of society that I guess is understandable, but it's a little bit disturbing," Fauci said. "You know, back in the days of HIV when I was being criticized with some hate mail, it was more, you know, people calling me a gay-lover and 'What the hell are you wasting a lot of time on that?'"
Fauci said that criticism was pushed "aside as stupid people saying stupid things."
"It's really a magnitude different now because of the anger," Fauci said. "As much as people inappropriately, I think, make me somewhat of a hero — and I'm not a hero, I'm just doing my job — there are people who get really angry at thinking I'm interfering with their life because I'm pushing a public-health agenda," he continued.
Fauci said the amount of hate mail and serious threats are "not good."
"It's tough," he said. "Serious threats against me, against my wife, against my daughters. I mean, really? Is this the United States of America?" Fauci said.

Maybe you should stop lying and STFU.
Anthony Fauci sitting at a baseball stadium he has to himself on Opening Day, with no social distancing and not wearing a mask should outrage every American who's been told they can't have in-person sports this year.— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) July 24, 2020
The HONEST people at the FBI MUST CHECK THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS!!! ALL OF THEM!!!!!
Dr. FRAUDS are COUP PLOTTERS!
Big deal.
Who?
Too bad he’s still vertical. He is responsible for American deaths.
Welcome to politics, Tony!
Try being a conservative any day of the week.
Not so easy taking all the slings and arrows is it?
But you preferred to practice politics from your appointive position, without any consequences.
No more, Tony!
I will say that I wouldn’t go to that Terrorist BLM sponsored game if they paid me. This only proves to me that he’s no American Patriot.
Dr Doom sure loves CNN & MSMBC and they love him.
Bullshat
The Cubs threatened to hire him as team physician.
Not only is he a dick, he’s a drama-queen to boot.
No, it isn't, and that's your doing, doctor. You have enabled Democrat dictators to take over most of the country while destroying the economy and lives.
The man is utterly clueless what his actions have caused.
Right out of the Democrat Book Of Whine
“Serious threats against me, against my wife, against my daughters.”
Effin’ liar.
“’Is this the United States of America?’ Fauci said.”
I ask myself the same question when I see weirdos walking around like zombies, all safe behind their masks. Seems more like China to me.
Just write a book, let the Obama's make a movie of your life....and go away.
He’s a terrible advisor to the President and his advice caused a multitude of problems...... but he and his family shouldn’t be threatened
