Fauci says West Nile Virus was a ‘harrowing’ experience: ‘Afraid I would never recover’
Fox News
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the public face of the U.S. coronavirus pandemic response, is speaking out about his “terrifying" bout with West Nile virus in August.
He chalked up his weakness and fatigue to lingering COVID symptoms at first, until he "became delirious and incoherent with a temperature of 103 degrees," leading to a six-day hospitalization. "I was afraid that I would never recover and return to normal." The virus only affects the nervous system 1% of the time and is rarely fatal.

"After I spent more than 50 years chasing and fighting viruses, one fought back and nearly took me down," Fauci wrote.
