Yeah, you’re right: he has been raking in the dough.
With all the revelations that have been coming out about the cover-up of the Wuhan lab leak and other ways in which the COVID-19 hysteria was pushed on Americans, you’d think that Dr. Anthony Fauci, as the chief driver of all the madness, would have retired to a monastery by now. After all, he could do a lot worse than to spend the rest of his days in prayer and meditation to try to make up for all the damage he has done.
As it turns out, he is doing a lot worse: without the shadow of a hint of any remorse for his actions, Fauci has spent the fifteen or so months of his retirement (when he actually retired is a bit unclear) fattening his bank account as leftist Americans’ still-unquestioned health guru.
The Daily Caller reported recently that the pint-sized far-left charlatan “earned $3.5 million in his first year of retirement from government.” Unnamed sources are still throwing huge amounts of money at the little guy: Fauci “received several six-figure deposits through 2023 totaling $1.15 million.” This is “according to a 141-page financial disclosure obtained by Open The Books, a government watchdog group.” Yet “the documents do not describe the source of the deposits.”
Now even the Covid.gov website goes, according to PJM’s Catherine Salgado, “to a new webpage featuring evidence to undermine mainstream Covid dogmas, most particularly those pushed by Anthony Fauci, and to support the Wuhan lab leak theory. It calls out such corruption as Biden administration-enforced censorship, previous HHS obstruction, and totally arbitrary Covid measures touted as unquestionable ‘science.’” This is just the latest indication of how much Fauci’s credibility has suffered as more has been learned about what really happened during the COVID hysteria.
Nevertheless, among doctrinaire leftists, Fauci still has considerable star power. He “leveraged his celebrity status as the top trusted messenger on COVID-19 to pad his earnings in 2023.” There was the lucrative book deal that makes a millionaire out of virtually any leftist who attains any prominence: Fauci “sold his memoir to a subsidiary of Penguin Random House for a reported $5 million in March 2023.”
And the money and honors kept rolling in. “On July 1, 2023, Fauci began an appointment at Georgetown University as distinguished university professor in both the School of Medicine and School of Public Policy.” He also was inundated with lucrative speaking gigs from like-minded leftist groups, including “the National Association of Chain Drug Stores and American Health Insurance Plans (AHIP),” which “have policy agendas that intersect with the federal government’s COVID-19 response or the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the NIH division that Fauci led for nearly four decades.”
On top of all that, the man who said he was science itself “accepted medals with monetary prizes from the highest echelons of academia including Columbia University’s Calderone Prize, worth $50,000, and the National Academy of Medicine’s Lienhard Prize, worth $40,000.” And meanwhile, he was the highest-paid official in the American government: “Fauci’s final government salary totaled an unprecedented $480,654, the highest salary earned by any of the roughly 2.4 million employees who work for the federal government, including the president, according to Open The Books.” And now that he is retired, Fauci “continues to accept a six-figure pension.”
Fauci is not frittering all this money away on lifts and canolis. His net worth “roughly doubled from $7.6 million the year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2019 to $15 million in 2023.” And he never has to worry about leaving his wallet at home: Fauci “also received taxpayer-funded transportation and security detail via the U.S. Marshals Service as a private citizen in 2023.”
While Americans were forced into lockdowns that threatened their livelihoods and (in many cases) their very sanity, Fauci was living high on the hog. Open The Books CEO John Hart remarked: “Dr. Fauci’s assets soared during the worst of the draconian Covid lockdowns while families and small businesses struggled through school closures and lost income. Now it’s clear the cash kept coming during his first year of ‘retirement.’ He was rubbing elbows with groups like AHIP flanked by taxpayer-funded security — even as his wife remained the top bioethicist at NIH.”
And on top of it all, Old Joe Biden’s autopen gave Fauci a blanket pardon as Old Joe headed out of office, despite the fact that he had not been charged with any crime. It looks as if there are at least some people among the leftists elites who are well aware that Fauci is vulnerable to legal challenge. Yet the money just keeps rolling in.
They made a big movie about Dr. Fauci and it Bombed someone wrote Kids Book about him it wasn’t a Best Seller. No one wants this Crack-Pot Period
Dear Mr Spencer:
Some other ‘pint-sized’ guys:
Beethoven: 5’7”
Charlie Chaplin: 5’5”
Einstein: 5’7”
Sir Isaac Newton: 5’6”
Mozart: 5’4”
Buster Keaton: 5’5”
Vincent Van Gogh: 5’5”
Milton Friedman 5’0”
Groucho Marx: 5’6”
John Adam’s: 5’7”
Shakespeare: 5’6”
Well, not everyone gets the breaks in life….
He is in the pint size group of evil dwarfs.
Yep! You are so right about that. Perhaps, unfortunately, Fauci has the ‘little man syndrome.”
The thing is, the guys on the list you gave all had worth and value to the things they did, and all gave a valid contribution to society, which this little pint sized runt did not, he did just the opposite…
Yes, the guys on the list won the genetic lottery in super brains and talent, but not in height, Odd, though, isn’t it, that really evil very tall people are not criticized regarding their height? Why is that?
Goliath?
Gilgamesh?
Mick Fleetwood?
You mean not everybody gets the breaks physically. Sir Isaac Newton was immeasurably the most intelligent human being in history and INVENTED physics and all its laws.
I won’t get into the rest but except for Milton Friedman, they were all at the top of their fields through talent.
And no, I’m not a pee-wee.
Lighten up Francis.
If Fauci accepted the pardon he damn well knows he is guilty, especially of engaging in gain of function research
If Fauci wanted to help Biden, he would have persued loss of function research.
An evil poisonous little dwarf without a conscience who is directly responsible for the deaths of millions and was also a major player in the defeat of President Trump in the 2020 election. Should be a prime target of the DOJ. Hopefully Fauci will be indicted over the summer.
Fraudci looks more like a gnome than a dwarf to me but he’s definitely evil.
Cruel, evil, narcissistic, sociopathic monster, Fauci should be in an orange suit behind bars but don’t hold your breath.
The leftest saboteurs and wreckers in government know that some leftist group will reward them. They don’t need to communicate in any way or manner; it just “gets done.”
Unfortunately for him, he can’t take all of that money with him when he leaves this world. He will have to answer for his crimes then.
Yes, I’d heard about this but thanks for reporting it. Many good people hadn’t heard about it. Most good people, probably. Definitely none of the mutants who rely on the Minitrue Media.
Did any of you know Bareback Hasbeen Osama receives monthly paychecks from the Obamacare steal?
Hell, I only learned that last week and it’s been going on since day one.
Fauci is evil. I lived in Fresno at the height of the COVID false pandemic and so many small business owners lost their businesses, income, and homes due to this man. They complied and complied until they were forced to close or go bankrupt or both as the COVID noose continued to tighten. I saw these business owners plead on TV to loosen the restrictions, to no avail as das boot came down harder and harder. He needs to be stripped of all his assets and thrown in prison. He’s a fraudster. He’s diabolical.
Side note: Robert Spencer, can you please do a story on the number of Islamic mosques in CA and throughout the USA, which are 2 different aspects because CA alone has ALOT.
Why is he not in jail, how many people died because of his recommendations?
