Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday described the politicization of the coronavirus pandemic as “really unfortunate.” “The politicization, the hostility, back and forth is something — I’ve been through multiple outbreaks over the last 35, 40 years as you well know — I’ve never seen such a situation where there’s been as much divisiveness,” Fauci told International Association of Providers of AIDS Care President José M.
Zuñiga at the end of a virtual presentation he gave during the Virtual Fast-Track Cities 2020 conference. “So you have to be able to function in the context of good public health practices, at the same time that it seems that everything is politicized, which is really unfortunate,” added Fauci.
