Former President Trump slammed two of his administration’s coronavirus task force members, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx in a lengthy statement Monday evening as “two self-promoters trying to reinvent history” following the televised interview where both faulted the former administration response to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Vice President Mike Pence along with his wife, Second Lady Karen Pence, and Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams all received the newly approved first dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine that was televised live in an effort to boost the American public confidence that the vaccination is safe and effective.
President Trump on Friday gave an update on the progress of Operation Warp Speed, stating that the COVID-19 vaccine would be widely available as soon as April 2021, but singled out New York due to Governor. Andrew Cuomo restrictions.
"People are tired of hearing Fauci and these idiots, all these idiots who got it wrong," Trump said. "He's been here for 500 years, he called every one of them wrong."
President Trump slammed Dr. Anthony Fauci and other health official members as “idiots” who “got it wrong” during a call with campaign staff Monday morning, describing the nation’s top infectious disease expert as a “disaster” who has been around for “500 years.”
"And quite frankly, when I look at their plan that talks about advancing testing, creating new PPE, developing a vaccine, it looks a little bit like plagiarism, which is something Joe Biden knows a little bit about," Pence said during the Vice Presidential debate.
President Trump on Monday told reporters he will resume holding daily coronavirus task force press briefing this week, starting on Tuesday, marking the first time since late April he will provide updates to the American public as multiple states grapple with record-breaking spikes of confirmed virus cases.
