DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: This is about public health. You know, the bad guy is the virus. The bad guy is not the person on the other side of your opinion.
There is so much misinformation during this very divisive time that we're in, and the public really needs to know the facts. Some of the media that I deal with really kind of -- I wouldn't say distort things, but certainly give opposing perspectives on what seems to be a pretty obvious fact.
If you listen to Fox News, you know, with all due respect to the fact that they do have some good reporters, some of the things that they report there are outlandish, to be honest with you.
I'm concerned that sometimes things are said that are really taken either out of context or are actually incorrect.
