Anthony Fauci

ANTHONY FAUCI, the country’s leading infectious diseases expert, underwent surgery to have a polyp removed from his vocal cord on Thursday morning.

Fauci, who heads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and has been helping to lead the federal government’s response to the ongoing pandemic, confirmed the news to CNN. He did not specify how long he would need to recover from the surgery.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, said on Twitter that Fauci texted him shortly after the surgery to let him "know he was doing ok."

Gupta said Fauci "had general anesthesia" and that he has been advised by doctors "to curtail his talking for a while to allow his vocal cords to recover."

Does he get a waiver on having to wear a mask so he doesn’t have to carry a bottle of water everywhere?

I find it very difficult to give credence to a Dr who sounds like he just smoked a pack of Camels, but that's just me 🤔🙄😖

“””Fauci undergoes surgery for vocal cord polyp (advised “to curtail his talking for a while”)”””


When I saw the headline, my first thought it was the latest from the Babylon Bee.

He does not have to curtail his thinking.
That’s been on hold for a good while.

First time I heard him speak, I wondered who thought it was a good idea to have someone as the front man on a virus who sounds like he has throat cancer

Between him and Neil Cavuto, I yell at the TV "Clear your G.D. throat!!!"

Why couldn’t the surgery have occurred in March when it REALLY could have benefitted the US

Mark Levin has learned to mimic it, and it's hilarious!
