He can't just argue with Trump. He needs to gently set the record straight by talking to the reporter. Which he did. Fauci did an excellent job given the constraints.

POTUS scolded a reporter for bad reporting after the reporter gave him a softball question: "What do you say to Americans who are scared?"
Then Trump once again promoted hydroxychoorquine after being prompted, and Dr. Fauci had to effectively caution people not to listen to Trump.

Watch to video clip. The question was the effectiveness of the drug on malaria and SARS. POTUS wasn't sure about the answer regarding SARS, so he turned to the Doctor and asked him to answer it, which he did. He did not correct or scold Trump. Why post this here? This is political propoganda and false reporting.
I didn't watch the clip. I watched the entire briefing. POTUS wasn't just not sure. He was given baseless hope and the Fauci had to gently tell the press not to go down that rabbit hole. You really expect him to scold Trump? I posted it here because it speaks to the frustrations people are dealing with what is coming from the government. There was no political propaganda or false reporting with my post.
