Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the top public health experts in the United States, said on Thursday he’s under a lot of pressure but feels safe despite reports that he needs security after receiving death threats.
Anonymously-sourced reports in multiple media outlets claimed Fauci requires personal security from law enforcement because of the alleged threats. Fauci declined to respond directly to the reports on Wednesday night while speaking in Washington and President Donald Trump said Fauci doesn’t need security because “everybody loves them,” referring to the doctor and other top officials.
