Journalist Megyn Kelly took aim at Dr. Anthony Fauci, saying he doesn’t “control” the public and when it can plan indoor weddings.
“Not sure who misled you on this, sir, but you don’t control us,” Kelly tweeted on Monday.

Her message was in response to an interview Fauci had on Meet the Press in which he discussed when people could expect to have indoor weddings.
“If we keep going down and get to a very, very low level, when we’re there and we have a good proportion of the people vaccinated, I think you are going to see weddings in the normal way,” Fauci said, adding he couldn’t give an “exact date.”
CHUCK TODD FLOATS IDEA THAT MORE PANDEMICS ‘INEVITABLE’ DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE
Others joined Kelly in criticizing Fauci’s comments on the matter, with many saying the public shouldn’t allow the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director dictate when people marry.

Got married last year and not a single person got COVID.
People shouldn’t be seeking the blessing of public officials to get married — this is absurd. https://t.co/8ECPNheXV6

During the same interview, host Chuck Todd floated the idea that “it is inevitable” the world will face more viruses “due to climate change.”
“When you think about sadly having to prepare for this again, and I know there’s a lot of folks who think that, due to climate change and due to the globalization in general, it is inevitable that we’ll deal with more and more viruses like this. The biggest lesson you are going to take away to prepare for the next one,” Todd said during the interview on Sunday.

Fauci said nations need to band together to form a “better global health security network” in order to prepare for potential viruses.
“You know, there are a couple of lessons, Chuck. There are lessons domestically and public healthwise and scientifically. Let’s take global to begin with. We have to have a better global health security network of interconnectivity, of communication, of transparency so that we are talking to each other all the time and know what’s going on. We also have to have a continued investment in the science,” Fauci said.
