特朗普公开批福奇“犯了很多错”!福奇:我两个月没向他汇报了
As coronavirus cases surge in the United States, the White House is taking aim at the nation's top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
CNN:白宫矛头对准福奇,后者与特朗普在病毒问题上分歧日深
In a statement Saturday, a White House official told CNN that "several White House officials are concerned about the number of times Dr. Fauci has been wrong on things."
The official provided a lengthy list of past comments by Fauci earlier in the pandemic, including Fauci saying in January that coronavirus was “not a major threat” and “not driven by asymptomatic carriers” and Fauci’s comment in March that “people should not be walking around with masks”.
The list circulated by the White House bears striking resemblance to the opposition research that political candidates often circulate to the media about their opponents.
Many of Fauci's assertions called into question by the White House official were based on the best available data at the time and were widely echoed by Trump, other members of the task force and senior White House officials.
这名白宫官员整理的福奇言论是基于早期能够获得的最可靠数据得出的,而且也得到了特朗普、特别工作组的其他成员和白宫高级官员的广泛响应。
特朗普与福奇关系紧张
白宫此举正值特朗普和福奇的紧张关系日益公开化之际。
福奇上周表示,自6月2日以来,他没再见过特朗普本人,至少有两个月没有向他当面通报情况。
"As a country, when you compare us to other countries, I don't think you can say we're doing great. I mean, we're just not."
“作为一个国家,当你把我们和其他国家相比,我不认为你可以说我们做得很好。我的意思是,我们就是没有做得很好。”
In another interview, Fauci responded to the President's claim that "99%" of coronavirus cases in the United States were "totally harmless," saying he didn't know where the President got the number, and suggesting Trump's interpretation was "obviously not the case."
在另一次采访中,福奇回应了特朗普称美国“99%”的冠状病毒病例“完全无害”的说法,他说他不知道总统是从哪里得到这个数字的,并暗示特朗普的解释“显然不对”。
而特朗普也已经开始在国内电视上公开批评福奇了。
特朗普上周称:“福奇博士是个好人,但他犯了很多错误。”("Dr. Fauci is a nice man, but he's made a lot of mistakes.")
福奇近日在接受《金融时报》采访时也说:
I have a reputation, as you probably have figured out, of speaking the truth at all times and not sugar-coating things. And that may be one of the reasons why I haven't been on television very much lately.
你大概已经发现了,我向来只说真话,不会粉饰。这也许是最近电视上不太能看到我的原因之一。
美国网友:为福奇而战!
他们想要抹黑福奇,我们信任福奇!
他是上面唯一一个愿意告诉我们真相的人。他不会淡化病毒的严重性。
在大流行病蔓延之际,白宫却在攻击福奇这样一名有智慧的医生、一名勤恳的公共卫生官员。
我们必须与福奇站在一起!他正受到白宫的压迫。他是我们的理性和真相之声。他不能从我们的视野中退出。为福奇而战!
