The ex-president Donald Trump charged this Monday against the main epidemiologist of the US Government, Anthony Fauci, the one who said he was trying “Reinvent history” to cover up their “Wrong recommendations” and “bad decisions”.
Decisions and recommendations that, “Fortunately”, Trump he managed to “almost always cancel” being president of the country, he said in a statement.
In the former president’s opinion, both Fauci and the former coordinator of the White House task force against the coronavirus, Deborah Birx, conceived “bad political decisions” that, if implemented as planned, “They would have left our country open to China and closed the reopening” of the American economy.
In this context, the former Republican president said that Fauci was untrue when he tried to attribute himself in a “false interview” last night on CNN channel the “merit of the vaccine”, when in reality, he said, “he was unable to pressure the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to “move as quickly as possible.”
“I was the one who did it, and even the fake news media know about it and report it,” he said.
He added that the development of the vaccine in the country under his presidency was carried out in record time, in nine months, “which is saving the whole world.”
Thus, while doctors Fauci and Brix “moved slowly”, vaccines were bought for billions of dollars with the “calculated bet” that they would work, “perhaps the most important bet in the history of the world,” he said.
“Fauci is also the king of the ‘weather vanes’”, of “self-promotion”, capable of “moving the goalposts to look his best”, and, if he “fought so hard” with Trump, it was because “he wanted keep our country open to countries like China ”, accused the ex-president.
