Daily Mail
Dr. Anthony Fauci has to be accompanied on walks by federal agents after receiving death threats in response to his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The country's top infectious disease expert lives in Washington D.C. and was seen accompanied by the security detail in an episode of 60 Minutes, where it was revealed he must resort to power walking with them due to the harassment his family has received.
Fauci's wife Dr. Christine Grady told the show that it frustrates her husband how 'the same message has to sort of be reiterated over and over again because either people don't hear it, or they don't believe it, or they don't adopt it,' and now their children are having to deal with the repercussions.
'That's sad. The very fact that a public health message to save lives triggers such venom and animosity to me that it results in real and credible threats to my life and my safety,' Dr. Fauci, 79, told interviewer Dr. Jon LaPook on the CBS show.
'But it bothers me less than the hassling of my wife and my children.'
The couple have three adult daughters; Jennifer, 34, Megan, 31, and Alison, 28.
Dr. Fauci explained that the death threats have been for 'mostly me' but Dr. Grady added that there has been 'harassment against all of us.'
Confirming that his other relatives have been threatened, Dr. Fauci responded: 'Yes. I mean, like, give me a break.'
A point of contention with the American public has been mask-wearing.
At the start of the pandemic when medical professionals were running short on PPE, experts said the general public need not routinely wear masks.
However, once researchers discovered that coronavirus was contagious even from the asymptomatic, face coverings were increasingly encouraged.
President Trump has questioned Fauci's credibility while former Vice President Joe Biden has defended the advice being altered as experts learned new information.
'So let's see if we could put this to rest once and for all,' Fauci added on 60 Minutes.
'It became clear that cloth coverings, things like this here, and not necessarily a surgical mask or an N95, cloth coverings, work.
'So now there's no longer a shortage of masks. Number two, meta-analysis studies show that, contrary to what we thought, masks really do work in preventing infection.'
During a live stream with CNN this August he said the pandemic 'brings out the best of people and the worst of people'.
'I wouldn't have imagined in my wildest dreams that people who object to things that are pure public health principles are so set against it and don't like what you and I say, namely in the world of science, that they actually threaten you,' he told Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
'Getting death threats for me and my family and harassing my daughters to the point where I have to get security, it's amazing.'

荟萃分析
A meta-analysis is a statistical analysis that combines the results of multiple scientific studies. Meta-analysis can be performed when there are multiple scientific studies addressing the same question, with each individual study reporting measurements that are expected to have some degree of error.（Wikipedia）
荟萃分析，又称“Meta分析”，Meta意指较晚出现的更为综合的事物，而且通常用于命名一个新的相关的并对原始学科进行评论的学问，不但包括数据结合，而且包括结果的流行病学探索和评价，以原始研究的发现取代个体作为分析实体。荟萃分析产生的主要的理由是：对于多个单独进行的研究而言，许多观察组样本过小，难以产生任何明确意见。（百度百科）
