What Would Dr. Fauci Do? The KHN Interview   In a new interview with KHN (Kaiser Health News) Editor-in-Chief Elisabeth Rosenthal, Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, talks about how to survive the coming winter months and describes how hard it is when people insist that the coronavirus crisis is “fake news.”   Among the topics Dr. Fauci discussed were whether the U.S. needs a national mask mandate and other measures such as shutdowns, whether Americans should trust the vaccine approval process, if some masks are better than others, whether it is safe to travel over the holidays, and when people might be able to stop wearing masks and get back to normal life.   A column based on the interview by Dr. Rosenthal, a fellow physician, appears today on KHN.org and in The New York Times. The full interview can be heard in a special episode of KHN’s “What the Health?” podcast.   Our regular weekly "What the Health?" podcast hosted by KHN Chief Washington Correspondent Julie Rovner and featuring top health policy reporters discussing the Dr. Fauci interview and other top health policy news stories will be available on Friday.
