While appearing on the American talk show The View, Dr. Fauci expressed confusion at the anger and calls for his imprisonment from numerous individuals.
While promoting his new book, Dr. Fauci discussed various topics, including COVID-19.
One of the hosts, Sara Haines asked Dr. Fauci how seriously he takes the copious amount of individuals calling for his criminal prosecution and imprisonment.
She mentioned that although COVID is no longer a daily topic, “tensions have not cooled” with many individuals unwilling to move on from what transpired.
Dr. Fauci expressed confusion following her comment, replying “I quite frankly don’t know what they’re talking about.”
He continued by noting that he contributed to saving millions of lives through his efforts in developing and distributing the COVID-19 vaccine and ensuring compliance with the mandates.
“You get people to do things that were interventions that made them more safe against a deadly pandemic that killed 1.2 million people,” Dr. Fauci said.
He added, “If trying to save people’s lives is a crime, then I am guilty” followed by applause from the audience.
The show continued with discussions about individuals who opted not to get vaccinated or adhere to mandates, with suggestions that Republican politicians should be held accountable for COVID-19 patient fatalities.
The hosts also praised Dr. Fauci for standing firm against the views of former President Donald Trump.
Mainstream scientists reject invitation to UCP event on vaccine safety concerns
A week before Dr. Fauci’s appearance on The View, multiple mainstream scientists and doctors turned down an invitation to debate the safety of COVID-19 vaccines at a UCP event.
The event, “An Injection of Truth” featured prominent doctors who shared their concerns with COVID vaccines. One of the event organizers, Darrell Komick, told The Counter Signal that multiple doctors and scientists supported by the mainstream media were invited to a live debate.
None of the scientists, doctors, or professors, including Timothy Caulfield, a researcher and professor at the University of Alberta who denounced the event as misinformation decided to attend.
