Fauci calls Ron Johnson's AIDS comment 'preposterous': 'I don't have any clue of what he's talking about' | TheHill - The Hill

Anthony FauciAnthony FauciStudy: Omicron could be more transmissible due to sharing genetic material with common cold Sunday shows preview: Multiple states detect cases of the omicron variant Three omicron cases of COVID-19 identified in Maryland: Gov.

Ron JohnsonRonald (Ron) Harold JohnsonWisconsin senators ask outsiders not to exploit parade attack 'for their own political purposes' It's time to bury ZombieCare once and for all Marjorie Taylor Greene introduces bill to award Congressional Gold Medal to Rittenhouse MORE’s (R-Wis.) comments that the infectious disease expert “overhyped” the AIDS epidemic and the COVID-19 pandemic are “preposterous,” adding “I don’t have any clue of what he’s talking about.”

Asked about Johnson’s comments by co-host Jake TapperJacob (Jake) Paul TapperOmar calls out Boebert over anti-Muslim remarks, denies Capitol incident took place Republican Rep. Upton unsure if he'll run again Bass calls 'Black pastors' comment during Arbery trial 'despicable' MORE on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Fauci said he did not know how to respond to such a remark considering the high death tolls caused by both AIDS and COVID-19.

“How do you respond to something as preposterous as that? Overhyping AIDS, its killed over 750,000 Americans and 36 million people worldwide. How do you overhype that? Overhyping COVID, It's already killed 780,000 Americans and over 5 million people worldwide,” Fauci said.

“So I don't have any clue of what he's talking about,” he added.

During an interview with Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade on "The Brian Kilmeade Show" Wednesday, Johnson said Fauci, who helped lead research into the AIDS during the 1980s, “overhyped” the epidemic and claimed that the nation's top infectious disease expert is doing the same for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Discussing the omicron variant, Johnson accused individuals in the U.S. of trying to “create a state of fear” to “maintain controls” amid the pandemic, before turning to Fauci.

“By the way, Fauci did the same exact thing with AIDS. He overhyped it. He created all kinds of fear, saying it could infect the entire population when it couldn’t, and he’s doing, he’s using the exact same playbook with COVID: ignoring therapy, pushing a vaccine,” Johnson said.

Tapper noted that Facui was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by then-President George W. Bush for his leadership amid the AIDS crisis.
