It\u2019s not for lack of an invitation.<\/p>\n<p>Shows across the cable news channel, including ones with news hosts like&nbsp;<b>BRET BAIER<\/b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>NEIL CAVUTO<\/b>, have been trying to book Fauci for months but he\u2019s been turning them down, according to an official familiar with bookings at Fox News.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fauci made a rare exception for&nbsp;<em>Fox News Sunday<\/em> host Chris Wallace by appearing on his program on October 17th. During the segment, Wallace <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2021\/10\/17\/fauci-people-who-deny-reality\/\">asked<\/a> Fauci about becoming a&nbsp;\u201cpolarizing figure\u201d over the course of the pandemic, prompting the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to become tense. Wallace asked:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p>When this pandemic started, it is fair to say you were generally regarded as the authority on infectious disease. As time has gone on, you have become a polarizing figure, and critics accuse you of sending mixed messages. There\u2019s allegations that you helped fund dangerous research at the Wuhan lab. Two questions, why do you think you\u2019ve become so controversial? And honestly, do you think there\u2019s anything you have done that has contributed to that?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t think of anything, but I\u2019m sure some people will,\u201d replied Fauci. He went on:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"16\">\n<p>I have always stood for making science, data, and evidence be what we guide ourselves by. And I think people who feel differently, who have conspiracy theories, who deny reality, looking them straight in the eye, those are people that don\u2019t particularly care for me. And that\u2019s understandable. Because what I do \u2014 and I try very hard \u2014 is to be guided by the truth. And sometimes, the truth becomes inconvenient for some people. So they react against me. That just is what it is. There\u2019s not much I can do about that, Chris.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fauci has received sharp blowback from several high-profile Fox News hosts, including Tucker Carlson, who has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2021\/06\/03\/fncs-carlson-fauci-deserves-to-be-under-criminal-investigation\/\">called<\/a> for the&nbsp;White House chief medical adviser to be&nbsp;under criminal investigation over his handling of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter two years of non-stop media adulation, Tony Fauci has morphed into an even shorter version of Benito Mussolini.
