I’ve interviewed Dr. Fauci countless times over the last two decades covering topics like Anthrax, Ebola, Zika, H1N1, HIV/AIDS, Covid… but I’ve never quite heard him like this – he’s entered a new part of his life after leaving NIAID and has now had time to reflect on his 50+ yea…Mostrar mais

My mom was the first woman ever hired as an engineer at Ford Motor Co. A refugee from the other side of the world, she is remarkable in every way — as an engineer and as a mom. It was the mid-1960s, and she wore a sari every day to the office. It was such an honor for me to share…Mostrar mais

My colleague and friend @jaketapper underwent a horrifying ordeal with his daughter Alice. A medical misdiagnosis. He asked me to tell their story as a cautionary tale — one that happens 7 million times a year

Grateful to be inducted into the American Academy of Arts & Sciences - It is an absolute honor to be alongside so many esteemed colleagues, especially my lovely (typically camera-shy) wife, Rebecca

I am so proud of @BigBird for getting his Covid-19 vaccine! I know this can make some kids nervous, but that’s completely normal. @EricaRHill and I gave him our best tips to stay calm: www.cnn.com/videos/us/2021/11/06/big-bird-...Mostrar mais

I walked into the lion’s den and spoke with with @joerogan on his podcast for more than 3 hours — vaccines, ivermectin, and much more. Friends tried to get me to turn down his invite, but ultimately I’m glad I did it. www.cnn.com/2021/10/13/health/sanjay-gupta...Mostrar mais

After all these years, the most magical thing about @Jeopardy! is it brings my three teenage girls together almost every evening. Thanks for the honor of these past two weeks. I will never forget them. www.cnn.com/2021/06/27/health/jeopardy-hos...Mostrar mais

I’ve been on TV for the past 20 years, but nothing could have prepared me for guest hosting @Jeopardy!. I hope I made Alex Trebek proud and I look forward to the next two weeks.

Guest hosting @Jeopardy! made me respect the amazing Alex Trebek even more. His brilliance was making it all look so effortless. The show has a stride and cadence unlike anything I have experienced before, and truth is: I loved it!   www.cnn.com/2021/06/27/health/jeopardy-hos...Mostrar mais

We hit a grim milestone: 600K lives lost to the virus & I’m reminded of what Dr. Deborah Birx told me a few months ago: "There were about 100,000 deaths that came from that original surge... the rest of them, in my mind, could have been mitigated or decreased substantially" (…Mostrar mais

Getting my shot in one way felt so small and mundane. At the same time, it was like landing on the moon. The work of thousands of scientists, volunteers and so many others to make it happen. We are all indebted to them and the story they share on @CNN film #RaceForTheVaccine

Before the vaccines were authorized, they had to be tested. I have such respect for the brave people who roll up their sleeves as volunteers. They take the risk & they give the world a shot at beating a pandemic. Hear why they did it - next on @CNN Film #RaceForTheVaccine

Thank-you for all the well wishes! I do feel incredibly lucky and privileged to travel the world and tell these important stories. What an amazing 20 years @cnn. Hard to believe this kid 👇🏾 has made it this long. (I still wear that same tie!)

I have been reporting on vaccine hesitancy for 20 years now. On a more personal note: going back and pulling old clips reminds me how much I have aged!

As you think about a hopefully more normal summer and school year next fall, please try and be mindful of the growing number of Covid orphans.

While we are beginning to feel the light on our faces after this pandemic, part of me wonders if we will actually take away the lessons we learned this past year. We owe it to every life lost to make sure this never happens again. I hope you’ll be watching tonight. #CovidWar

If I tell you the story of 1 person who died of #Covid19, you are likely to have lots of empathy. If I tell you that story 500K times, your empathy may start to fatigue. We can't let that happen. These numbers should not wash over you and please don't let your compassion fade.

It’s important to remember that coronaviruses mutate all the time. And, the more they spread, the more mutations can happen. That is why simply reducing transmission is the key to reducing new variants. (1/8)

I used to watch @Jeopardy with my parents and now with my own kids. The thing is: there is just something so beautiful and reassuring about facts, simple straightforward facts. I cherish that. An honor to be an upcoming guest host, but seriously miss the great Alex Trebek.

My daughter Sky turned 14 today! She asked me to cut my hair. So...I did. Here is her reaction. I think she likes it — but, not entirely sure!

Big day today ✂️

Critically important comment from Dr. Fauci at the first COVID briefing since November 19th. “If you don’t know the answer, don’t guess. Just say you don’t know the answer.” — Dr. Anthony Fauci

Memorials matter. There has been no center of grief during this pandemic. The virus has kept us apart, meaning so much of our unimaginable loss has taken place behind closed doors. We haven’t been able share our grief.

So thrilled to join @stephenathome for @colbertlateshow tonight. Topic: The Brain. Truth is, Stephen has one of the fastest brains I have ever witnessed, so please buckle up, tune in and #KeepSharp #LSSC

This vaccine is totally worth celebrating. It can help rescue us from the disease. But, no amount of science can rescue us from ourselves. We need to do that. (9/11) www.cnn.com/2020/12/06/health/coronavirus-...

But, in order to get the big things right, we have to get the basics right first. Stay home as much as you can. #WearAMask and #BeKind (11/11)

I waited for the standard 15 minutes in case of an allergic reaction and then walked out the door — a body full of vaccine and a mind full of thoughts. (5/11)

While I am (a little) afraid of needles... yes... despite being a surgeon, the process didn’t hurt a bit. Honestly. (4/11)

As a healthcare worker, it was my turn to get vaccinated today. And, I didn’t hesitate. (2/11)

My worlds collided today. While most of you know me as a reporter for CNN, my 'day job' is still: neurosurgeon. (1/11)

The images of people receiving the Covid-19 vaccine continue to be inspiring. This is Margaret Klessens, a 96-year-old World War II veteran.

Truly remarkable – this has been described as the "moonshot" of infectious disease. I didn’t think we’d be having this conversation this year, but the incredible scientists at @pfizer and @BioNTech_Group made it happen. We should all take a breath and just take this in.

A historic step: @US_FDA authorizes @pfizer @BioNTech_Group's #COVID19 vaccine. Now it’s only a matter of days until the first shots go into arms. A time to celebrate, but also a reminder: the vaccine takes time to have an impact. #Masks work now. #bekind

🚨Breaking: The @US_FDA advisory committee has recommended to issue an emergency use authorization for the @pfizer @BioNTech_Group Covid-19 vaccine. This historic decision means the first Covid-19 vaccine could be available to millions of people across the country soon.

While I have been tweeting a lot about the pandemic, vaccines and the virus, I am getting more and more (very funny!) comments about my hair. So, here is a decidedly unserious response. This is how I’m used to my hair looking. (1/12)

This year, I decided not to spend Thanksgiving with extended family. It wasn’t an easy decision, but here’s how we thought through it. cnn.it/35S6gTz

On March 9th, I called this a pandemic. Today, I called this pandemic a humanitarian disaster. Those are not words I use lightly, but when there’s more than 60,000 people in the hospital and we could lose more than 2,000 lives a day by Jan, there’s no other way to describe this.

This graphic left a real impression on me. Look left: 1 person can infect 406 people within 60 days. Look right: that number drops to 2.5 people - not because of a vaccine, but with masks and physical distance. Now you can see the difference a single individual can make.

Just finished speaking to @pfizer CEO @AlbertBourla about #COVID19 #vaccine. Very promising to hear 90% effective, but questions remain, such as: how well the vaccine will protect against serious disease vs infection, overall safety data and how long immunity lasts.
