Dr Anthony Fauci has again claimed that people who criticize him for his COVID-19 ‘flip-flopping’ are actually condemning science itself.

 

The White House coronavirus tsar struck a cranky tone in an upcoming New York Times podcast interview, where he claimed any changes in his recommendations were solely based on evolving data as the COVID crisis continued.

Fauci said: ‘It is essential as a scientist that you evolve your opinion and your recommendations based on the data as it evolves…

 

‘And that’s the reason why I say people who then criticize me about that are actually criticizing science.

‘[T]he people who are giving the ad hominems are saying, “Ah, Fauci misled us. First he said no masks, then he said masks.”
