The Dr Anthony Fauci interview: coronavirus, vaccines and President Trump
60 Minutes Australia 23 Aug 2020
You know these are strange days indeed when an immunologist, albeit a very good one, becomes a household name. But that’s exactly what has happened to Dr Anthony Fauci.
His expertise in fighting the Coronavirus pandemic has made him a hero to many, but not his boss, the United States President.
Talk about shooting the messenger – Donald Trump continually undermines his chief scientific adviser, calling him alarmist, and scoffing when the doctor urges caution about reopening the economy.
But Dr Fauci’s not worried. Instead he’s getting on with trying to beat COVID-19. In an exclusive interview with 60 MINUTES, he shares important news with Tara Brown about the race for a vaccine and the way Australia is tackling this nightmare.

Some 3,000 people were killed when Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico in 2017

Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff to the former Department for Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, said the president made the comments in August 2018 – less than a year after Puerto Rico had been devastated by Hurricane Maria.
“Not only did he want to purchase Greenland, he actually said he wanted to see if we could sell Puerto Rico,” Mr Taylor told MSNBC on Wednesday. “Could we swap Puerto Rico for Greenland because, in his words, Puerto Rico was dirty and the people were poor.”
