Fauci dismisses emails as taken ‘out of context’, suggests people are too dense to understand science
June 3, 2021 | Vivek Saxena
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institutes of Health and the White House’s top coronavirus official, has dismissed concerns about his emails, defended the NIH’s funding of the notorious Wuhan laboratory and claimed that Trump supporters resent him because they don’t “understand” his brand of so-called “science.”
Speaking Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” he faced no tough questions about the contents of his emails. Instead he was lavished with easy questions and, in some cases, outright sycophantic praise. However, he did briefly address his frequent flip-flopping as it pertains to masks and the lab leak theory.
“I was just trying to get the right information, to try and get the right data. What they didn’t seem to understand — I guess that it is understandable that they didn’t understand it — is that science is a dynamic process,” he said.
“So something that, you know, in January, you make a recommendation or a comment about it, but as you get more and more information, the information leads you to change because that is what science is — it is a self-correcting process. That is what I was trying to do, always tell the truth on the basis of what the data is. … It was never deliberately something against the president,” he added.
