Fauci has a one-word answer to the question on ‘What has changed’ around 20 January

Dr. Anthony Fauci finally appears in “The Late Show” on Friday for his first coronavirus pandemic interview with Stephen Colbert.

And the country’s leading expert on infectious diseases, who is President Joe Biden’s leading medical adviser, has wasted no time in seemingly casting a shadow over former President Donald Trump – whose politicization of the Fauci pandemic has been severely criticized.

‘I wanted you for a year. We’ve been trying to keep you going for almost a year. We could never find you, ”Colbert told Fauci.

“Around January 20, your schedule really opened up,” the late-night host continued, referring to Biden’s inauguration and Trump’s departure from the White House.

“What has changed?” asked Colbert.

“Everything,” Fauci laughed and let Colbert down.

“Okay, I hope it keeps changing,” Colbert replies.

Elsewhere in the interview, Fauci said the pandemic would “absolutely” end – it was just a matter of when, depending on vaccination programs and people who still wear masks and have social distance.
