Fitness expert Jillian Michaels expressed frustration about Dr. Anthony Fauci 's testimony before Congress and questioned why he had not been punished for his management of the COVID-19 pandemic. "How is Trump going to jail, but [Fauci] isn’t?" Michaels said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
She added, "Someone please make this make sense." The former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was pressed during the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Monday about his role in pushing masking and vaccine mandates and his knowledge of the lab leak theory, among other concerns regarding the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 83-year-old immunologist was asked about censorship of the medical profession during the pandemic, the crippling social distancing rules that he attempted to blame the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for administering, and his medical guidance on suggesting that the COVID-19 vaccine stopped transmission of the virus.
Many observers of the hearing found the doctor's answers frustrating and wanted accountability for his scientific guidance that affected people during the pandemic. Michaels received blowback for her social media post. "Trump's a criminal and a con man who played on morons - like you," former television host Keith Olbermann responded .
"Trump committed crimes. Fauci didn’t. Should make sense to you now," former Virginia Rep.
Denver Riggleman said . Some fans questio.
