Dr. Fauci on His Exchange with Jim Jordan: ‘I Don’t Enjoy Those Kinds of Confrontations’

This has nothing to do with liberties, Dana. We're talking about the fact that 560,000 people in our country have died. We're talking about 70,000, 60,000 to 70,000 new infections per day. That's the issue. This is a public health issue. It's not a civil liberties issue."
