Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), recently appeared on the “Today” show to demonstrate the best way to wear two masks. Less familiar to the public are Fauci’s writings on the pandemic.
"Emerging Pandemic Diseases: How We Got to COVID-19" authored with NIAID advisor Dr. David Morens, emerged on August 15, 2020. That was several months after President Trump ordered the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to cut off all U.S. funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a wholly owned subsidiary of China’s Communist regime and the likely source of the virus that causes COVID-19.
The U.S. funding for Wuhan was channeled through Fauci’s NIAID, but Fauci does not deal with that in his paper, which mentions China only twice. The NIAID boss also avoids another issue crucial to the outbreak.
Gain of function research, as Nidhi Subbaraman explains in Nature, “involves making pathogens more deadly or more transmissible.” In 2012 Fauci cited the risks of such research, wondering “what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic?”
The NIH banned gain of function research in 2014 but revived it in 2017 with no objection from Fauci. Three years later after a global pandemic, Fauci’s paper is silent on any role this dangerous research might have played in the outbreak.
Disease emergencies, the NIAID boss explains, “reflect our increasing inability to live in harmony with nature.” That, in turn, requires “changes in human behavior as well as other radical changes,” such as the elimination of “intensive animal farming" and “ending global poverty.”
Fauci calls for “strengthening the United Nations and its agencies, particularly the World Health Organization,” which was not able to prevent the COVID-19 outbreak. Even so, Fauci leans on bureaucratic solutions, which suits his career.
Fauci earned a medical degree in 1966 and two years later hired on with the National Institutes of Health. Fauci has headed NIAID since 1984, and with a current salary of $417,608, more than the president of the United States. Fauci is the highest-paid employee in the federal government.
Fauci’s bio shows no advanced degrees in molecular biology or biochemistry so strictly speaking he is not a virologist. Though routinely billed as the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, Fauci has changed his views on the danger of the pandemic, the need to lock down the economy, and the utility of masks.
