Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins, Scripted YouTube Livestream
Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins participated in a USA Today livestream to discuss the resurgence of COVID-19 infections in the United States. Fauci claimed the U.S. is still "knee-deep" in the first wave because the baseline of infections never dropped as it did in Europe. The conversation appeared highly scripted, serving as a public relations effort to frame the current surge as a result of states reopening too quickly.
