Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, said Friday that President Donald Trump has not attended a coronavirus task force meeting in 'several months' and the meetings themselves have greatly 'diminished.'

. The last time daily cases exceeded 71,000 was during the summer surge in July. The U.S. has also reported more than 223,000 deaths.

Fauci, a leading member of the White House's coronavirus task force and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during an interview on"Meet the Press Daily" that he hasn't directly spoken to or interacted with Trump in some time, and the number of task force meetings have"diminished".

Led by Vice President Mike Pence, the coronavirus task force used to meet daily during the first months of the pandemic, but that has now been scaled back to meeting once a week, Fauci said, due to the White House focusing on an"economic reopening." “We certainly interact with the vice president at the task force meetings, and the vice president makes our feelings and what we talk about there known to the president,” Fauci said when pressed about the last time the president attended."But direct involvement with the president and discussions, I have not done that in awhile."

Similarly, Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, who sits on the task force as well,

What can he do at the meeting! He is no DR! He gets feedback im sure.

He doesn’t need to, he knows more than all the Doctors.... he knows more than all the scientific.... ooohhh he knows so much!!!!

Did he say Trump has taken away any of his powers?

Go home Fauci. Better yet, retire. We’re all kind of sick of your little comments in the middle of a heated election. We all know you’re in bed with Big Pharma and have a dog in the race when it comes to peddling vaccines. InvestigateFauci COVID19

Fuck Fauci!! He's a government bureaucrat who makes over $400,000 in salary plus I imagine millions more in whatever kickbacks he's getting from drug companies for pushing panic nonstop. The virus has a 99% recovery rate. Exercise, eat right, take vitamin D, wash your hands

Boo hoo 😢

So the non partisan scientist goes on msm shows, bashes the administration efforts even though he was the administration efforts for months. He needs to explain his role, funding a controversial lab in Wuhan, China, that had been studying the coronavirus in bats.

Why

librariesval Dr. Anthony Fauci also said that, that the COVID-19 would drastically reduce during the SUMMER Season, due to the HEAT- that didn't occuR either

People want to move on , enough. Tired of Fauci too

So? Just go to a ball game, fouch. It'll be fine.

My God. Donald Trump has made death political.

He’s bored. He wants to move on, lol. The virus isn’t bored, though. It’s just getting started

저는 오늘 예수님을 영접하고 다시 새롭게 태어났습니다. 예수님만이 우리를 구원하실수 있으십니다. 메시아께서 오십니다 아멘.

Fauci is such a gentleman, this qualifies as dragging Trump through the mud!

Good. Those meetings are useless and boring

Disqualifying. First realDonaldTrump misleads (lies) the American public about COVID's lethality leading to the death of thousands. Then, he cuts and runs leading to more deaths. Nothing else matters - tax policy, health care, foreign policy. There's a cancer in the Oval Office.

But yet we’re rounding the corner.. orange face McGee is a pure joke.. worst mistake

He is not interested in dealing with a pandemic.

Don’t blame him- their info has been wrong so often

Well yeah... he’s on the road ripping everybody a new asshole..

So? guess he doesn’t get any important news out of these meetings with you quacks

He has an election coming up in a few days. Maybe they can sing Kumbaya on November 4

Saving lives, easy hardship and promoting public health seems low on the agenda. All the energy is focussed on winning the election. Covid is just an inconvenience.

USA Today - you work SO HARD at trying to find biased media headlines. Does the ability to delegate but still hold accountability not ring true? How do leaders do it around the world at every level?

On innaguration this man should finally be given the platform to address our nation properly.

Why should Trump attend the Task Force meetings if he thinks that we already turned the corner & we learned how to live with COVID19 -- do not wear masks & do not keep social distance, especially, during his rallies/

Trump is 4 to 5 blocks down the street and going to disappears. The rest of us are about to round the corner. COVIDIOTS

Vice President Pence is in charge of the task force.

The death rate in 2020 Covid America is less than it was in the 50's, 60's, 70's & 90's. Reflect on that.

scamdemic. Fauci is not the President !

Fauci the flip flopping 🐟 said this and we are suppose to believe him? Sure! Don't wear a mask, no wear a mask.....

Dr Anthony Fauci you should be represented our President. You failed America. You don't know what your talking about. He was following your lead. This nothing but the flu and you know it. Stop putting fear in the American people. You definitely got a pay check from the Democrats.

No surprise. Campaigning is easy. Coming up with a pandemic plan is hard.

If you want American to get better DON’T VOTE FOR TRUMPVIRUS19 ! TRUMP ONLY CARES ABOUT THE WEALTHY, himself and his family , he does not care about the Sick people , poor people , middle class ,African American , Spanish people , and handicapped We are all DISPENSABLE!!!

This surprised no one. His supporters don’t care who dies.

Just Google Tony Bobulinski

And...

Because Dr. Fauci has no credibility!

Sounds like someone in business corporate America. Highly engaged at first and then forgets about it 6 weeks later.

Snake Oil President needs no committy...

Oh because were on the other side of this per the a President. He does not care about you. He just wants to win. At any cost.

Because of course.
