Joe Biden praised Fauci in a statement following the announcement.

"Because of Dr. Fauci's many contributions to public health, lives here in the United States and around the world have been saved," Biden claimed. "Whether you've met him personally or not, he has touched all Americans' lives with his work."

Fauci has led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984 but will end his five-decade career in government mired by his controversial response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Throughout the pandemic, Fauci has been on the side of big government intervention, pushing policies that simply didn't work. Fauci still endorses lockdowns despite the fact they've been proven to be ineffective. A study from July 2020, which was published in The Lancet and based on data from 50 countries, found no reduction in COVID-related mortality from lockdowns. Another study published a few months later relied on data from 160 countries and reached a similar conclusion. There have been many studies since that have also reached similar conclusions, including a Johns Hopkins University study released earlier this year.

Fauci not only advocated universal masking, but he also pushed for double masking despite there being no evidence that it was effective. No matter what he said, science clearly wasn't dictating his actions. Instead, he chose politicized science, pushing for universal vaccines, even for kids who are not at high risk from COVID. His universal vaccine approach led him to repeatedly move the goalposts on herd immunity. Yet he had the arrogance to claim that anyone criticizing him was dangerous because he represents "science"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
