Fauci says he never imagined Covid would kill a million Americans

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testifies during a Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions hearing about the federal response to monkeypox, on Capitol Hill September 14, 2022 in Washington, DC.

Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, discussed the U.S. response to the Covid-19 Pandemic in a public meeting.

Fauci never imagined that the Covid-19 would last so long and kill so many people.

Fauci said he didn't think anyone would see a three-year saga of suffering and death.

The head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, will step down in December after 40 years at the helm.

The evolution of multiple variant over time was the most disturbing feature of Covid, according to him.

The politicalization of public health was one of the hardest parts of the Pandemic.

Fauci said, "As a physician, it pains me because I don't want to see anyone get infectious, I don't want to see anyone hospitalized and I don't want to see anyone."

He said it doesn't matter whether you're a Republican or Democrat. I looked at it the same way I looked at the emergency room when I was there.

He urged Americans to get a Covid booster to protect their health as they travel and gather for the holidays.
