Leaked White House Memo Highlights Fauci's Virus Statements

Summary from the AllSides News Team

A White House memo leaked over the weekend details occasions in which Dr. Anthony Fauci has apparently been incorrect or contradictory in his public statements about the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. President Donald Trump and other White House officials have been publicly critical of Fauci's guidance in recent weeks. Coverage from right-rated outlets was more likely to frame Fauci as responsible for purportedly unnecessary lockdown measures. Coverage from left-rated outlets generally painted the memo's release as a White House attempt to undermine Fauci's credibility, while referencing the times Trump and other public officials have made incorrect predictions and forecasts about the virus.
