    Why would a doctor needs to be surrounded by three body guards at all time?, wake up people.
  • This fraud and money launderer gets the premium thumbs up from the BBC. Who would have thought otherwise?
  • @Koolade
    this is a date not an interview
  • @franoreck
    You never answered the question? Do you have investment s in any pharmaceutical s?
  • The fact that a retired doctor and government official needs Secret Service protection 24/7 speaks some depressing truths about U.S. politics...

    This joke of an interview is the perfect reminder to why every Brit should cancel their TV licence.

    How shallow could this interview be? Actually it looks more like they're on a date. Ridiculous. There are so many questions that could have been asked.
  • @exbronco
    It's kind of weird seeing a retired scientist have this kind of security. He looks like a King or a president or something.
  • @rblanks2050
    he left because he knows hes culpible for millions of deaths
  • @DirtyWopBastard
    if we all made a list of the top 100 questions we would ask Fauci, you would have asked none of them. Good job, puppet
