More Americans have died with COVID-19 listed as the cause of death than the number of U.S. service members killed in World War II.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data record more than 1.1 million COVID-19 deaths in the United States through 2025. The Department of Veterans Affairs and Congressional Research Service list 405,399 American military deaths in World War II. That disparity framed the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday at which Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, appeared.
Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times, declined to answer questions about pandemic origins, research funding, his diaries, treatment guidelines, and related decisions. Committee Chairman Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., scheduled a vote next week on whether to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress.
