Laura Ingraham furthered\u00a0Fox News\u2019 unfounded attacks on Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other health experts on Wednesday, dismissing their warnings about a\u00a0COVID-19 resurgence as made-up propaganda.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe experts\u2019\u00a0disinformation campaign is ongoing about COVID, even after vaccines,\u201d she ranted on Fox News\u2019 \u201cThe Ingraham Angle\u201d Wednesday. \u201cThe variants! The variants are coming!\u00a0The mutations!\u00a0Gloom and doom!\u201d<\/p>\n
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said this week she was \u201cscared\u201d after coronavirus cases increased by 10% over the previous week. She blamed the uptick in part on increased travel, prematurely eased restrictions in some states and possibly a variant. Fauci also expressed alarm at the rising numbers, warning about the dangers of declaring early victory against the coronavirus.<\/p>\n
Ingraham\u2019s hyperbolic commentary added to the conservative channel\u2019s revved-up campaign to discredit health experts, which it began during ex-President Donald Trump\u2019s bungled handling of the pandemic. Former Trump aide Peter Navarro even called Fauci the \u201cfather\u201d of the coronavirus on Fox News earlier this week.<\/p>\n
Ingraham said the \u201cmade-for-TV doctors\u201d were given a platform by Trump to \u201cburnish their reputations\u201d and now have stabbed him in the back.<\/p>\n
\u201cNone of these people should ever be near a public policy decision again,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
