Dr. Anthony Fauci is in hot water with the White House for speaking out in an interview, published Saturday, about the state of COVID-19 cases in the US.
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases warned that the US needed to make an 'abrupt change' in its handling of the pandemic.
White House spokesperson Judd Deere sternly rebuked Fauci for making 'his political leanings known by praising the president's opponent.'
Business Insider reports that for the first time since the outset of the pandemic, the US logged nearly 100,000 new cases of COVID-19 in a single day.
President Donald Trump has continued to falsely blame the rise in cases on a rise in testing--and media coverage.
