An open letter, released just before Anthony Fauci was to testify before the US Congress, condemns the "vilification and harassment" of numerous American scientists by the Trump administration and its allies. Over 155 medical professionals, scientists, and public health advocates signed the letter, emphasizing that allegations against the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director are "baseless".
In response to the Republican-controlled Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee's decision to compel Fauci to testify, the letter's authors dismissed the Republican allegations as unfounded. The letter asserts that the administration and its supporters are waging a "war on individual scientists," highlighting the urgent need for an end to the public harassment of Fauci and other scientists.
