Midway through "American Masters: Dr. Tony Fauci," filmmaker Mark Mannucci exposes the doctor to a symptom of violent partisanship: his voicemail messages. Fauci's inbox is swelled with accusations and death threats, but his assistants have shielded him from the worst. Nevertheless, Fauci urges Mannucci to play a few, allowing us to watch as he calmly listens to strangers fantasize about his suffering.
"Dr. Fauci, you have destroyed America," a woman declares in one voicemail, "and you know what? I hope that when you die, it is painful and it's long."
