Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was told to "stand down" and not appear on five Sunday morning talk shows to discuss the coronavirus after Vice President Mike Pence took over the administration's response, according to Rep. John Garamendi.
"'The vice president’s office then took over the control of this situation, and told me to stand down, not to do those shows,'" Garamendi said, quoting Fauci.
"Now, you can draw your own conclusions whether he was muzzled or not, but clearly he was scheduled to do Sunday talk shows and he was not to proceed with that," the congressman added.
