The nation's top infectious disease expert was attacked by the governor of Florida who called for someone to grab him.

I don't want to see him anymore! He says he will retire. During a campaign stop on his "Keep Florida Free Tour", Ron DeSantis said that someone needs to grab that little elf and throw him across the country.

Fauci, who is President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said he was stepping down from all his current posts to pursue the next chapter of his career.

There is a count on August 24, 2022.

The 81-year-old became a top target for right-wing hate after attacks from Donald Trump.

A Maryland man was sentenced to three years in prison for sending threatening emails to Fauci and his family.

Fauci and his family would be dragged into the street, beaten to death, and set on fire according to one email. I hope you get a bullet in your skull today.

Hate towards Fauci has been harnessed by DeSantis to raise money. He was selling "Don't Fauci my Florida" can coolers and T-shirts in the year 2021.
