Dr. Anthony Fauci, health adviser turned celebrity by the Covid-19 pandemic, has suggested that the virus is even more deadly than reported, saying the US has “undercounted” its world-leading death toll.
“I think there’s no doubt that we are and have been undercounting,” Fauci said on Sunday during NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ program. Asked by host Chuck Todd about a University of Washington study which said there were more than 900,000 US Covid-19 deaths, exceeding the official count of 581,000, the doctor replied, “That’s a bit more than I would have thought the undercounting was, but sometimes the models are right on line, sometimes they’re a bit off.”
Todd joined Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, in hyping the death toll. He said the Washington estimate was “almost double what we were able to track,” although it was only about 55% higher than the reported total.
