During a recent testimony, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, revealed the disturbing threats he and his family have faced. Fauci disclosed that he had received a range of threats, including harassment through emails, texts, and letters targeting not only himself but also his wife and three daughters.

These threats escalated to the point of credible death threats, leading to the arrest of two individuals who posed a serious risk to Fauci's life. As a result, Fauci has had to rely on protective services for constant security.

What is particularly troubling for Fauci is that these threats have extended to his family, causing him great concern for their safety and well-being. The fear and intimidation tactics employed against public health officials like Fauci during the Covid-19 pandemic are deeply concerning.
