Ted Koppel Asks Fauci If He Ever Expressed Concerns Directly To Trump About the Government Downplaying the Severity of the Virus

EXCERPT:

FAUCI: “I didn’t quite understand what the purpose of that was, except to put this misplaced perception about people’s individual right to make a decision that supersedes the societal safety. That, to me, is one of the things that I think went awry in all of this."
KOPPEL: "Did you ever raise that with President Trump?"
FAUCI: "You know, I didn’t have the opportunity to raise it. I was sort of like shocked and then I didn’t speak to him for some time after that. But it was at that point that I realized that I would have to just get out there myself and say things that clearly would be contradictory."
