Fauci says serving in the Trump administration was 'somewhat awkward'

Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Tuesday that his experience serving in the Trump administration has been "somewhat awkward."

"It's not a happy day when you have to get up in front of national TV and contradict something that the president of the United States says," Fauci said in an interview with Harvard Business Review. "I take no pleasure in that at all."

Fauci, who has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, has worked with every US president since Ronald Reagan.

But President Donald Trump has repeatedly contradicted Fauci's assessment of the pandemic and pushed back against necessary public-health measures.

It'll be great to have a president who believes in science again.

I'll bet Dr. Fauci likes the return to sanity and reason a lot more than he's letting on.
