The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Anthony Fauci is facing renewed public criticism over his role in the COVID-19 response after Peggy Noonan’s Aug. 1 column questioned his conduct and its effect on public trust. Stephen A. Smith said in a video on X that Fauci deserved public accountability and shame for pandemic guidance, while saying the 85-year-old former health official should not be jailed. On CNN, Caroline Sunshine called Fauci a “textbook sociopath” and said he belonged in a mental institution, prompting objections from other panelists.
