Coronavirus: Dr. Fauci Said No to President Trump
According to CNN and other mainstream media reports, the presidential campaign team of US President Trump inserted a fragment of Dr. Fauci, a well-known American infectious disease expert, praising the President Trump for his efforts in epidemic prevention in a new election campaign advertisement recently released.
However, Fauci himself stated in a recent statement that this was not what he meant at all, and he was taken out of context by Trump and his team.
As shown in the figure below, in a new campaign advertisement released by Trump’s election team praising Trump’s epidemic prevention work. Dr. fauci, an infectious disease expert, who has been providing professional advice on the Trump administration on the novel coronavirus epidemic prevention and protection, also appeared in this 30-second video. In this video, it shows Dr. Fauci was saying something like “I can’t imagine… There are other people who can do so much work. " Obviously, Trump election team want to use Dr. Fauci to support his election campaigns.

However, according to reports from CNN and NBC in the United States, Fauci himself was not aware of the matter, and immediately expressed strong dissatisfaction after seeing the advertisement, saying that his words were taken out of context.
In a statement, Fauci stated: “In my nearly 50 years of public service career, I have never publicly supported any political candidates. Those self-proclaimed campaign advertisements did not get my permission, and It was taken out of context. Those remarks were part of my speech when I was talking about the epidemic prevention work of the federal government’s public health officials a few months ago.”
Some American media verified that what Fauci said was true. The U.S. political information website Politico stated that Fauci’s remarks that were embezzled by Trump’s campaign ad came from an interview he conducted with Fox News in March this year, and Fauci’s remarks at the time clearly praised the efforts made by all sectors of medical and health care to deal with the epidemic, but not president Trump.
“I have been busy with the epidemic response team at the White House almost every day… My phone was broken from morning to night. The night here refers to 0, 1, and 2 in the morning. But I am not the only one who works like this. Our entire team is in this state of work, and every day. So I can’t imagine that there are other people who can do so much work under any circumstances.” Dr. Fauci said in that interview, “Everyone is helping and working together.”
Even more embarrassing is that in the entire 4-minute interview, Fauci mentioned “President Trump” only once.
Therefore, even if Trump is still posting on his social account at the moment, arguing that the words in the advertisement are “Fauci’s original words”, combined with the facts exposed by the American media, his campaign advertisement is very obvious. This is an out-of-context extraction of Fauci’s original words, and even this is an infringement and theft of many American staff who are fighting on the front line of epidemic prevention.
Finally, CNN also analyzed why Trump’s campaign team doing this way in the election advertisement, forcibly pulling him as Fauci was supporting Trump in order to get more advantages in the election..
CNN said that as early as the end of July, Dr. Fauci had such a high degree of support for Fauci’s American society, but Trump’s reputation had always been poor, and he was angry, and complained that Fauci had been hired by him for epidemic prevention.
“Don’t forget: he is working for my government, he is working with us, I could have found someone else, not necessarily Fauci. He works for my government, and We listened to his and other experts’ advice most of the time,” Trump said at the time. At the same time, we also found this paragraph in the record of Trump’s press conference on July 28 published on the official website of the White House.
“He has a very high public support rate. Why can’t my government and I get such a support rate? Our support rate should also be very high,” Trump said.
