Oct. 31, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. EDT President Trump's repeated assertions the United States is "rounding the turn" on the novel coronavirus have increasingly alarmed the government's top health experts, who say the country is heading into a long and potentially deadly winter with an unprepared government unwilling to make tough choices.

November 1, 2020 - Global - 45,900,000/1,200,000; USA - 9,110,000/230,000 Big ISSUE!! - Blockbuster situation in Washington Post in an interview that I gave on Friday evening to Josh Dawsey and Jasmeen Abutaleb. I spoke about the fact that cases were dramatically increasing throughout the country (see prior days above) and that we needed to do something different like doubling down on public health measures. I also strongly blasted Scott Atlas. In the article, much to my dismay, Dawsey (less than Abutaleb) wanted to keep the word "seriously in a passage that I thought was off the record, but he said that it was not (I am pissed at him). Here is the passage: Fauci said former vice president Joe Biden's campaign "is taking it seriously from a public health perspective." Trump, Fauci said, is "looking at it from a different perspective." He said that perspective was "the economy and reopening the country.". Also, in the article. Judd Deere blasted me saying I was being political: Judd Deere, a White House spokesman, offered blistering criticism of Fauci for his comments in a statement to The Washington Post on Saturday. Deere said Fauci "knows the risks [from the coronavirus] today are dramatically lower than they were only a few months ago." "It's unacceptable and breaking with all norms for Dr. Fauci, a senior member of the President's Coronavirus Task Force and someone who has praised President Trump's actions throughout this pandemic, to choose three days before an election to play politics," Deere said. "As a member of the Task Force, Dr. Fauci has a duty to express concerns or push for a change in strategy, but he's not done that, instead choosing to criticize the President in the media and make his political leanings known by praising the President's opponent -- exactly what the American people have come to expect from The Swamp." I thought that I was in big trouble. However, some interesting things happened. Alyssa Farah texted me at 7:00 AM on Sunday and said: I am so sorry that fool Scott Atlas keeps attacking you. I'm even more sorry I'm not in a better position of influence to see him out the door. I'm trying to make people see he's a disaster. I immediately called her up and explained that I was not pitting my support for Biden over the POTUS. She understood perfectly and said she totally supported me and thanked me for what I do. Then, at 9:30 AM, the POTUS called me from Air Force One. We had a 15 minute conversation where he did his usual rambling. He started by saying that I really need to be positive. "Tony, I really like you, and you know that, but what the fuck are you doing? You constantly drop bombs on me. Everybody wants me to fire you, but I am not going to fire you, you have too illustrious a career, but you have to be positive. The country cannot stay locked down. (I never said that we should lock down). You have got to give them hope. I like you but so many people, not only in the White House, but throughout the country hate you because of what you are doing. I am going to win this fucking election by a landslide. Just watch. I always did things my way. And I always win, no matter what all these other fucking people think. And that fucker Biden. He is so fucking stupid. You are 10 times smarter than he is. I am going to kick his fucking ass in this election. I will win by a landslide. Just wait and see. I will win Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, all the key states. Just wait and see. The smallest crowd that I had was 25,000 people. Biden had 5 people blowing their fucking horns in their cars. Tony, you have to be positive. I do not want to keep you off TV, but when you are out there, you have to be positive. (I tried to interject some words that I am being positive by telling people what they need to do to avoid infection - he heard none of it and just kept talking over me. He did not seem hostile, but he was just rambling). Then when he was finished, he said: "OK, Tony, I will see you in a couple of days. Take care". Although I do not think that I will be fired, I am not out of danger just yet. Another crazy thing. Scott Atlas did an interview from the White House with Russian Television blasting the response of the USA scientists (including me). CNN is jumping all over this.

Nov. 2, 2020 - Global USA During rally in Florida, the crowd started chanting "Fire Fauci" and the POTUS said: "Don't tell anybody but let me wait til a little after the election. I appreciate your suggestion". I got dozens of texts immediately following the posting of the tweet from people lending me their support and horror about what he is suggesting.

November 2, 2020 5:48pm Important situation evolved today. White House (meadows) clais that Washington Post (Dawsey) told him that I initiated the interview from Friday. NOIT SO!!! E-mail below is self-explanatory: Brian: As per our recent telephone conversation, let me summarize. Francis Collins called me this afternoon after his regularly scheduled meeting with the Secretary. Apparently, the Secretary is under the impression (someone related this to him) that I initiated the interview with the Washington Post that is now so controversial. That is categorically incorrect and I have proof of that. The e-mail below indicate that the reporter Josh Dawsey reached out to me for an interview (e-mail below dated October 29, 2020 at 11:48 AM). I did what I always do and requested clearance. The e-mails below show that this occurred and I was cleared to speak with him. I would like very much to clear up this misunderstanding that I reached out to the reporter, which I absolutely did not. Please read the e-mail chain from bottom up. Many thanks. Best regards, Tony

Anthony S. Fauci
November 3, 2020 - Election day!! Red hot discussions in press of POTUS firing me. Dominating the news. Also, someone leaked one of Deb's daily briefing (see right above) making it look like she is bucking the POTUS similar to what I did in the Post on Friday. Lincoln Project (Republicans against Trump) says: You have a choice on election day. Either fire Fauci or Trump. Who do you want to fire? Unfortunately, I am right in the middle of the fight for a Presidential election. YIKES!!! nih.gov> Harrison Ford And Lincoln Project Back Anthony Fauci, Advocate Firing Donald Trump

Photo below from Liz Sabo: PRESS: 2020 election results may influence Trump's treatment of Dr. Fauci. That matters. If Trump does succeed in silencing Fauci somehow, it would come at a particularly precarious time for America. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.Frankie Alduino / Redux Pictures Fauci has spent the past few months speaking up about the stark realities of the pandemic -- honesty that is out of step with the White House's messaging and which seems to have resulted in his being sidelined. But Fauci's true courage and wisdom are most evident in how he has managed to strike a difficult balance: avoiding overt political attacks while still speaking truth to power. By walking this very tricky line, Fauci has probably avoided getting kicked off the coronavirus task force, ensuring that he could continue working from within the administration. This couldn't have been easy. I don't think the Trump administration realizes how much this unassuming and kind man embodies scientific excellence. But he's also got backup. There is a legion of citizen scientists, public health experts and medical workers who aren't giving up. Silencing one man, even a giant in the field of infectious diseases, won't silence those in our field. For months, efforts like the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 Dashboard, the COVID Tracking Project and others have been providing the kinds of critical intelligence that should have been coming directly from the CDC. Over the last few months, our professional societies have started to become vocal advocates for evidence-based action, calling out this administration's deceptive and false claims. Longstanding and revered scientific publications have come out against Trump for his lack of leadership and respect for science.

Closing in on victory. Trump threatening to sue in several states and let the courts decide. He has no case, but anything can happen. POTUS on TV tonight saying that all the mailed in ballots that are going Biden's wayare illegal. He is making no sense. He wants to stop the counting in Pennsylvania and Georgia where he is ahead but Biden is rapidly catching up as mailed in ballots are being counted. Trump told his followers to vote in person and so that is why he took the early lead. However, many democrats mailed in and that is why their votes are no turning things around. Biden is leading in Arizona and Nevada and so Trump is OK with continuing the voting there. 1me atters Staff =) -- /2020-... Did a Fireside Chat with UCLA Health interviewed by Judith Currier.
