Former White House Chief Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci has been raking in the cash since he retired from the government.
In the year after he “retired,” Fauci pulled in approximately $3.5 million, cashing in on the fame he garnered during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a financial disclosure obtained by government watchdog Open the Books.
“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,’” Open The Books CEO John Hart told the Daily Caller. “He was rubbing elbows with groups like AHIP flanked by taxpayer-funded security — even as his wife remained the top bioethicist at NIH.”
The Daily Caller reports:
Fauci received several six-figure deposits through 2023 totaling $1.15 million according to a 141-page financial disclosure obtained by Open The Books, a government watchdog group.
The documents do not describe the source of the deposits.
Fauci leveraged his celebrity status as the top trusted messenger on COVID-19 to pad his earnings in 2023, just as newly empowered Congressional investigators sharpened their focus on the ways Fauci betrayed the public’s trust
