U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Dr. Anthony Fauci could not have government-provided security indefinitely and should hire his own. Trump confirmed that security had been withdrawn from multiple officials, including former national security adviser John Bolton, ex-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former Iran envoy Brian Hook. Fauci, who led the U.S. COVID-19 response, had received NIH security due to threats. Trump dismissed concerns, stating that officials had "made a lot of money" and should fund their own protection. He refused responsibility if harm came to them, emphasising that government security is not meant to last forever.
In terms of Fauci’s estimated threshold (70 percent) for herd immunity, India might reach that goal by mid-November.
