- A new documentary from National Geographic traces Dr. Anthony Fauci's life and career.
- In the film, Fauci rails about the harassing phone calls his wife and daughters have received during the pandemic.
- He also shared one moment last summer when he opened a letter and thought "I'm freaking dead."
--------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Anthony Fauci grew up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, where he says he quickly learned that "you didn't take any s### from anybody."
He carried that spirit with him through the HIV/AIDS crisis in the US during the 1980s and 1990s, meeting with activists and eventually including them in the process of developing clinical trials for new life-saving drugs.
But when the coronavirus emerged roughly two years ago, the level of vitriol targeted at Dr. Fauci — director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the US' leading advisor on COVID-19 — felt wholly different. It extended to his family, including his wife and three grown daughters, in a brand of threatening personal attacks fueled by online rage.
"These f###### dark web people are really, really getting bad," Fauci said in a new National Geographic documentary, speaking to AIDS activist Peter Staley, who checked in on him during the summer of 2020.
"I mean, they're really, really harassing Chris," Fauci said, referring to his wife, nurse Christine Grady, head of the department of bioethics at the National Institutes of Health.

"I don't understand the hate that people have, and the hate that leads them to do something that could hurt somebody or kill somebody," Grady said of the threats. "It sort of reduces my trust in humanity."

poor guy thinks it’s ok for you to loose your livelihood because you don’t want to get vaccinated (who cares)
300k dead will awake some loons no doubt…
Dude literally deserves to be swinging from a tree branch...you know like a kid on a playground. This was all about power and never about health, and it was years in the doing. I saw an article showing that, “Leaked Proposals Show US and Chinese Scientists Planned To Create A New Coronavirus In 2018...Well Before Start of COVID-19 Pandemic”, and you can give that a look at 100percentfedup. And the left will try and blame Trump in 3...2...1... Hopefully someone takes out Fauci and his entire family...for dinner and drinks. You didn’t really think I’d post a threat online did you? Silly rabbit.
The gays would have done him in.
Darth Vader Ginsburg, may she burn in hell.
Dear Tony: It’s part of the process. Uncle Joe.
Ok Dr.Fraud, you are more overt in your threats. Stir the pot, you can lick the spoon ya prick.
Why is he even on the loose?
He would have had screen shots of the threats if they were real.
Here's the REAL attack:
This is a very powerful hour long video, well worth your time to view
So you do not like Herr Fauci I take it?! (Sarc & LOL) Feeling likewise.
Wow all this time I though he was Gay
“I hope you die of COVID!” is a violent threat.
“I hope you die of COVID!” is a violent threat.
No. There is no threat ("I'll infect you" would be a threat) and there is no violence involved. This is just a bit of wishful thinking that some people would find objectionable.
ESPN has suspended @sagesteele for criticizing the company’s covid vaccine mandate in public. Good for Sage for sharing her opinion in public. Nice read from @burackbobby_ on the blue check brigade in sports media’s demands for uniform opinions. https://t.co/hyEXRdwCov— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) October 6, 2021
PS If you speak up, Dr. Fauci says you're not gonna work, too.
Leave Fauci alone.
Do what you're told.
You ask for it, fauci! you have changed lives in lost jobs.. lost businesses.. and the dead... we will never know the number... you lie.
you do what you have done and think there are no consequences? people won’t take it ... you are the enemy of the people!
People died because of his actions and he has the gall to complain about anything?
he and his ilk are responsible for thousands of deaths! This video needs to be seen by as many people as possible, especially seniors and doctors
