The leading American epidemiologist calls the White House's criticisms of him "bizarre", offering "an end to this nonsense".

"This is quite odd. I still don't fully understand," said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, one of the main members of the White House Covid-19 Reaction Team,

Last weekend, White House officials listed the statements Fauci made when Covid-19 broke out, proving he was wrong when people understood more about the pandemic.

Fauci believes that the people who made the accusations against him must be "very surprised to realize how wrong they are", because the quotes they gave were incomplete or not put in the context.

Fauci was considered the most famous and reliable scientist when Covid-19 broke out in the United States.

Recent increases in the number of new Covid-19 cases in the early reopening states have pushed Fauci into a more direct and fierce conflict with the White House.

"Part of the problem is that the current state of division makes the dialogue and honest assessment of what is right and wrong is very difficult," he said.

Tensions between the White House and Fauci increased as Trump's support dropped in public opinion polls about how the President handled the epidemic.

Trump recently repeatedly criticized government health officials and the instructions they gave, amid rising new infections threatening to loosen restrictions on blockade nationwide.

The White House denied Fauci was set aside in an anti-epidemic effort, but trade adviser Peter Navarro wrote an article criticizing Fauci for making a mistake.

"I can't explain Peter Navarro's actions. He has his own world and I don't want to go in there," Fauci said.

Last week, Fauci said he had not seen Trump in person for two weeks and had to report it through Vice President Mike Pence, head of the White House Anti-Covid-19 Team.

In the interview, Fauci asked the United States to "restart" the anti-Covid-19 effort and admit everything was going in the wrong direction.

"The increased number of Covid-19 cases shows that we need to act better and states need to agree on a virus control plan," he said.
