No wonder Rotten Tomatoes didn't want to show the audience score for new doc about Anthony Fauci (Fauci's no Dave Chappelle) [screenshots]

Last week, Disney+ announced a new documentary on American hero Dr. Anthony Fauci.

An unprecedented portrait of one of America’s most vital public servants. FAUCI, a Documentary from @NatGeo, is streaming October 6 only on #DisneyPlus. #FauciDoc pic.twitter.com/M9rOmSl3RQ

Well, October 6 has come and gone. How’s the documentary? Is it any good? Let’s check out Rotten Tomatoes and see what other people think of it:

Wait a sec … that’s weird. A 91% on the Tomatometer means that critics love it. And if the critics love it, the audience must love it, too, right?

Why would Rotten Tomatoes try to keep the audience score under wraps?

Ohhhhh:

“URGENT” seems accurate, as “Fauci” is apparently on life support with the public.

Yikes. Well, now we understand.

It seems that the people have spoken … and they haven’t had anything nice to say.

Now, obviously, Rotten Tomatoes is not the sole arbiter of popularity, and it’s entirely possible that “Fauci” is just a victim of review-bombers. But the indisputable fact remains that Dave Chappelle has brought a whole lot more to the table than Anthony Fauci — and he’s much better at his job.
