Quote:The pedestrian pace of Covid-19 vaccinations in the US came under new scrutiny on Sunday, as the pandemic death toll passed 350,000 and experts warned of another surge in infections and deaths arising from gatherings at Christmas and New Year. Leading public health expert Dr Anthony Fauci issued an implicit rebuke to Donald Trump, who claimed in tweets on Sunday morning that case numbers were being exaggerated and deaths wrongly attributed. “Go into the trenches,” Fauci told NBC’s Meet the Press. “Go into the hospitals, go into the intensive care units and see what is happening. Those are real numbers, real people and real deaths.” Dr Jerome Adams, the surgeon general, also contradicted Trump’s false claim that the Covid-19 death toll was “far exaggerated”.Fauci rebukes Trump Covid claims but offers 'no excuses' for vaccine delays | World news | The Guardian
