Italian Hospital Offers To Hire Dr. Fauci If Trump Gives Him The Boot

ROME (AP) — The scientific director of Italy’s leading infectious disease hospital says he’d like to hire Dr. Anthony Fauci should President Donald Trump remove him from the White House coronavirus task force.

Dr. Giuseppe Ippolito of Rome’s Lazzaro Spallanzani hospital wrote a letter released Wednesday to the Italian president and other officials, saying Italy should welcome Fauci with open arms. The country is the European epicenter of the pandemic, and Spallanzani treated Italy’s first patients.


Ippolito praised Fauci’s expertise, experience, leadership and “generous and selfless help” to Spallanzani and other hospitals around the world — “a generosity that we like to associate (with) his Italian heritage, always remembered with pride.”

He said removing Fauci from the U.S. task force “would be disastrous news not only for the United States, but for the whole international community.”

I think he’s going to get fired anyway. The MF wants to control and humiliate...that is literally his only goal. Might as well go down telling the truth instead of rolling over.

What he DOESN'T have to do is in any way, shape or form, give credence to der fuehrer.

As long as he spins and sidesteps, he is helping the turd kill people and destroy this country.

We'll give you Donald Trump, his children, (except Tiffany), all of Donald's property, and (if you act now), we'll even throw in Dr. Oz. (OK, so OZ is only 50% correct according to 2014 study--google it). And just for helping the UNITED STATES out we'll even give you the PLANE, and the Security to keep him bottled up. YOU GIVE US ONLY YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS

God, what I would give to see Rome just once more! Living there would be a dream come true.

I'm wondering if Fauci speaks Italian. Does anyone know?

But Fauci is at the National Institutes of Health and has been for decades, and as far as I know, only the director of the NIH is a presidential appointee. It's not as though Dr. Fauci can be banished or sent to the tower.
