Pressed for Answers on COVID Timeline, Fauci Blames ‘Pushback’

Under media fire on his inconsistency with COVID-19 issues, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said it was “clear to him” in January that the disease could become quite serious, but he didn’t do anything about it at the time because he had “a lot of pushback” about shutting things down.

He also danced around the idea of whether he would recommend requiring people to have certificates of immunity to certain diseases. "I think it might actually have some merit, under certain circumstances," he said — but antibody testing would be “a key” to creating the certificates, he added.
