Dr. Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease expert that has become the leading voice of reason on COVID-19 in the United States, has opened up about his experience dealing with another national epidemic: the AIDS crisis.
Much as with the conspiracy theorist fanatics of COVID, AIDS conspiracy theorists did their best to silence Fauci, including sending him death threats.Fauci recalled to Fesh Air host Terry Gross the chaos and fear of the AIDS years.
Gay activist Larry Kramer openly accused Fauci of murder during the epidemic, and activists staged violent protests outside Fauci’s office in the National Institutes of Allergies and Infectious Diseases.
