Anthony Fauci
The chief US infectious disease specialist Anthony Fauci on the air of the ABC News channel denied the words of the American leader Donald Trump about the highly exaggerated data on COVID-19.
According to him, all statistics on the coronavirus are real. “These deaths are real,” he said. The doctor added that overcrowded hospitals and tired medical workers “are not fake,” but a reality facing not only the United States, but the entire world.
Fauci also noted that vaccination rates in the US are increasing and will continue to expand as new drugs are produced. According to him, several contracts have already been signed by pharmaceutical companies. The specialist urged the government and state leaders to unite to help each other.
Earlier, Trump said that the data on the incidence of COVID-19 in the United States is greatly exaggerated. According to him, the point is in the methods of counting the number of cases and deaths used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
According to the CDC, 20 million cases of COVID-19 have been identified in the United States since the beginning of the pandemic, of which 346.9 thousand people have died.
