Dr. Anthony Fauci is “the highest-paid federal government employee in the U.S. – surpassing even the president,” Fox Business reports, with a salary of $417,608 in 2019. This information was not volunteered but came from a Freedom of Information Act request by OpenTheBooks.com. Dr. Fauci also surfaced in a January 24 Fox News Steve Hilton segment, on another theme the wealthy bureaucrat has been reluctant to discuss.

Gain of Function (GOF) research, “improves the ability of a pathogen to cause disease,” and as Nidhi Subbaraman explains in Nature, “involves making pathogens more deadly or more transmissible.” The National Institutes of Health banned GOF in 2014 but revived it in 2017, ignoring scientists who warned of the risks.

As Hilton explained, dangerous gain of function research carried on all over the world with funding from the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The recipients included the Wuhan Institute of Virology and in 2018, the U.S. State Department warned of risky tests with the bat coronavirus. Despite the warnings, the NIH approved a grant of $3.7 million to the Wuhan Institute. That money was channeled through NIAID, the NIH division Fauci has headed since 1984.

As Angelo Codevilla explains In “Dismounting the COVID Tiger,” documents are emerging that show complicity between Fauci and the development of the virus itself. The documents include. “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” project 1R01A1110964-01, which helpfully provides the costs to American taxpayers. Media sycophants never pressed the evasive Fauci on details, and Congress failed to hold hearings on the Wuhan funding.

In January, 2020, when the virus began to spread, President Trump imposed a ban on travel from China.  Fauci was “was adamantly opposed to the travel ban,” Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro told Miranda Devine of the New York Post. Fauci later agreed that the travel ban saved lives, not the first time he has reversed himself.

Fauci earned a medical degree in 1966 and his bio shows no advanced degrees in molecular biology. In 1968, Fauci hired on with the NIH and 53 years later he’s still the boss at NIAID. For the late Kary Mullis, who earned a PhD in biochemistry from UC Berkeley and in 1993 won a Nobel Prize for invention of the polymerase chain reaction, Dr. Fauci should not even be a government bureaucrat.

“This man thinks you can take a blood sample and stick it in an electron microscope and if it’s got a virus in there, you will know it,” Mullis explained. “He doesn’t understand electron microscopy and he doesn’t understand medicine. He should not be in a position like he’s in.”

According to Mullis, bureaucratic types like Fauci “make up their own rules as they go. They change them when they want to.” And “Tony Fauci does not mind going on television in front of the people, face out, and lie directly into the camera.”  In 2021, that is still going on.

“Chalk it up to another convenient fib from a habitual fibber, who has deceived us on everything from masks to herd immunity,” writes Miranda Devine. Fauci is a big fan of WHO boss Tedros, a “really outstanding person,” and Fauci remains for the most part uncritical of the Chinese Communist regime whose Wuhan lab he funded. Whatever its origins and manner of release, the China virus checks every box for the Communist PRC regime and its collaborators.

Fauci recommended draconian lockdowns he described as “inconvenient” then weeks later admitted they could cause “irreparable damage” to the United States. Democrats used the lockdowns to demand the mail-in ballots that played a huge role in the election steal.

“For an expert,” Miranda Devine writes, Fauci “never seems to know the answer to anything.” On the other hand, Dr. Fauci does expose the prevailing dynamic of white coat supremacy.

A long-time bureaucrat, who never has to face the voters, overrides the rights and freedoms of the people, including their ability to earn a living. The unelected bureaucrat supports measures that cause irreparable damage to the United States, and take hundreds of thousands of lives, yet he never takes responsibility for any of it. If embattled Americans thought they were living in a Faucist state, it would be hard to blame them.

Dr. Fauci, now 80, boasts a bigger paycheck that new boss Joe Biden, who seems to be upstaging his own expert. On January 22, after a meeting with Dr. Fauci, Biden said “There’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.” As the CNBC report noted, “it wasn’t immediately made clear what projections Biden was referencing.”

During the 2020 campaign, Biden said “We choose truth over facts,” and told Americans the Chinese Communists were “not bad folks.” Biden later prophesied a “dark winter,” so the confession that “there’s nothing we can do” should come as no surprise.
