News about Anthony Fauci

Dr Anthony Fauci has revealed how he feared he'd never recover after being hospitalized with the mosquito-borne West Nile virus. The former White House doctor, 83, was experiencing weakness and fatigue that he blamed on a recent bout of Covid, but he quickly became delirious and incoherent with a fever of 103 degrees.

Joe Casey (left with his daughter), 54, from New Hampshire, has tested positive for antibodies for eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), the West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis after being bitten by a mosquito, according to his sister-in-law, Angela Barker (bottom right). 'But the CDC , the infectious disease doctors don't know which one is making him this sick,' she told CBS News. Ms Barker said that Casey, who has four children with his wife Kim (top right), got sick in early August and since developed swelling in the brain. 'My brother-in-law is not a small man, and to see someone that you love be as sick as he is and not be able to talk, to move, to communicate for over three weeks is terrifying and gut-wrenching,' she explained.

An 18-year-old boy from Missouri has been paralyzed from the neck down and can only breathe with the help of a ventilator after contracting West Nile virus. John Proctor VI, affectionately known as 'BB,' first started experiencing headaches, and dizziness earlier this month, and within a few days, his speech became slurred, and he wasn't able to lift his arm or smile, local NBC-affiliate KSDK reported. The boy's parents, who feared their son may be having a stroke, rushed him to the ER on August 11. After tests were performed, doctors revealed that their son contracted the sometimes deadly mosquito-born disease.

Anne Dillard, who lives in the metro Atlanta area, was rushed to the ER after she collapsed at home this month and found herself unable to stand up. She was diagnosed with West Nile Virus - which Fauci revealed he had this weekend - said she also suffered from a rash that spread from her stomach to the rest of her body.

Steven Perry, 41, from Hampstead - about 40 miles outside Boston - suffered from a central nervous system disease after being infected with Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) , local officials say. He was rushed to the hospital on August 12 after his family noticed he was acting strangely, but was declared dead on August 19 - a week later. An autopsy revealed he was infected with EEE. Paying tribute to her brother, who had no underlying health conditions, his sister Susan said he was funny, upbeat, an avid golfer and the 'glue of the family'.

Cities across the US are spraying pesticides to combat rising cases of deadly mosquito-borne viruses. Parts of Massachusetts, New York, Texas and California will be sprayed this week as West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis threaten public health.

A man in New Hampshire has died after testing positive for a rare mosquito-borne virus. Health officials from Hampstead, New Hampshire, issued a warning Tuesday after a resident died from Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus (EEEV), also known as 'Triple E.' The condition, which is carried by mosquitos, causes a fever and brain swelling and can lead to seizures and comas. It's the state's first human case in 10 years. In addition to the unidentified man, one horse and seven mosquito batches have been infected with the virus so far this summer.

More than half of the state of Massachusetts is under a high or critical risk of a deadly mosquito-borne virus: Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), also called 'Triple E.' The curfews and closures come amid heightened fears of mosquito-borne diseases after Dr Anthony Fauci was hospitalized for six days this month after being infected with the potentially deadly West Nile Virus.

Anthony Fauci, the former longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was hospitalized with the rare virus.

The Centre for Occupational Health and Safety rolled out a second edition of their Flu and Infectious Disease Outbreaks Business Continuity Plan Handbook. In the new edition, released in June, they focus on a 'hypothetical virus', that they warn could trigger further disruption that Covid-19.

Dr Anthony Fauci is recommending face masks as Covid cases rise. The weekly test positivity for the week ending August 3 was nearly 18 percent - up from 10 percent one month ago. The number of Covid infections is increasing as the virus experiences what experts call a summer surge. On Monday, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease said: 'The message is that if you are in a risk category you have got to take this seriously.'

Multiple counties in California have started recommending masks indoors, amid a four-fold spike in some areas. Health officials in three Bay Area counties are urging residents to wear well-fitting masks, such as N-95s or K-95s, in public indoor spaces like restaurants and grocery stores. The health department in Contra Costa county, just outside of San Francisco, said the recommendation comes as cases quadrupled from May 9 to July 9. However, rates have plateaued since then, according to wastewater data, and hospitalizations and deaths have remained stable.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is being accused of lying to Congress last month when he said he never used private email to conduct official business. Fauci, 83, told a journalist in 2021 that he would reach out to them through his private email as he faced backlash over research being done on beagle puppies by his National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID). The project saw innocent hound dogs tormented and killed in a lab in Tunisia to learn more about a parasitic disease, something the NIAID initially denied funding before Facui confirmed this year that was a fib. It also saw the hashtag #ArrestFauci trend on the site formerly known as Twitter, as he also faced backlash over his handling of the pandemic. The now retired expert faced a grilling about this in June as well The White Coat Waste Project, who years ago revealed how NIAID spent $1.86million in taxpayer funds on the tests, has now uncovered correspondence where the doctor told a reporter he would message him personally as they spoke briefly about the then budding scandal.

The research found shutting schools down had little effect on virus death rates in the US but 'hurt' children's 'educational outcomes.' Meanwhile, stay-at-home orders, restaurant, bar and gym closures and visitor restrictions in nursing homes did nothing to save lives and caused 'harmful social isolation.' 'The absence of evidence that these [curbs] ...reduced pandemic deaths suggests that they may have been too aggressively pursued in some states,' the study said.

DailyMail.com columnist and author Maureen Callahan's bombshell new biography of the Kennedy family has become an instant New York Times best seller.  'Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed' was published on July 2 and debuted last week in the No.2 position on the Times's prestigious book-sales ranking. Callahan's biography beat other popular new books to the top spot, including Former Chief Medical Advisor to the President Anthony Fauci's memoir, which dropped down to the No.4 position on the 'Combined Print & E-Book Nonfiction' list.

Anthony Fauci dismissed the gunshot wound Donald Trump sustained during Saturday's assassination attempt, while CNN's chief medical correspondent Doctor Sanjay Gupta made a public demand. The former president was nearly killed by gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last week. Trump, 78, wore a large white bandage over the gunshot wound on his ear throughout the Republican National Convention - but there has been no formal update on his condition from campaign officials. 

Former Chief Medical Advisor to the President of the United States Dr. Anthony Fauci dodged questions about Joe Biden 's health after the president's concerning debate performance.

Former Chief Medical Advisor to the President of the United States Dr. Anthony Fauci dodged questions about Joe Biden's health after the president's concerning debate performance. CBS host Major Garrett asked Fauci Tuesday if during the debate he saw anything that would 'medically alarm' him. The pandemic patriarch demurred, saying 'You know, I can't say. I think it would be inappropriate to say that, Major, because when you're just looking at someone on a one-shot basis, you just don't know what could happen,' Fauci said. The doctor did suggest, however, that some medication could be behind Biden's sleepy showing.

A top Republican is demanding answers as to why the Pentagon hid the fact it spent taxpayer money on disease research in China. A letter sent from Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com shows the GOP lawmaker is 'deeply concerned' over a Pentagon report saying the department can't determine whether it sent money to China for pathogen research. 'It is unacceptable that DoD cannot account for the full extent of taxpayer funding it has spent on pandemic pathogen research at Chinese research laboratories,' Paul wrote to Austin. The Republican requested Sec. Austin turn over files relating to the Pentagon's Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) that funded Chinese pathogen research, similar to the research done on coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology before the COVID pandemic.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is the latest liberal luminary to be asked whether or not Joe Biden should end his presidential campaign after his shock disaster debate against Donald Trump.

The White House and campaign blame a 'cold' for Joe Biden's (pictured right) low and, at times, hard-to-understand speaking voice. Others say this is what the President is like on a day-to-day basis now and it has even Democrats wondering if Biden needs to be replaced in time for November, as his poll numbers slide further behind Trump. Dr. Anthony Fauci (pictured left), who has served every president dating back to Ronald Reagan and became a polarizing figure during the COVID-19 pandemic, appeared this week to promote his new memoir.

It is the elephant in the room. The public health emergency that cratered our economy, flung us under extreme, illiberal laws without Parliamentary debate and almost killed the Prime Minister. It devastated our children's education, saw thousands of our elderly die isolated, terrified and alone and, as of mid-April, has slain 232,112 people in Britain. A further 22,954,691, though, caught Covid-19 and survived - which raises huge questions wholly unvoiced in this General Election. Not once has it been publicly discussed by those soliciting our votes. It has been raised at no televised debate.

As Dr. Anthony Fauci parades out his new book and decries death threats, a top lawmaker is setting the record straight by shedding light on the pandemic patriarch's presidential protective detail and how he believes the doctor should be prosecuted. Fauci, the former White House chief medical advisor, has spoken in interviews about his recently released book how he has 'become the target of people with extremist views' and that 'deep down, that there's a possibility that somebody's gonna kill me.' But that is just a strategy to 'develop empathy and sympathy' and paint 'Republicans as creating this danger,' Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview. 'And it's more than security, it's a limo picking you up every day for wherever you might need to go,' Paul said. 'The only other person probably getting his level of security would be the president, vice president, maybe cabinet members, and a few members in leadership in the House and Senate .'
