Fauci

Anthony Fauci is an American immunologist who served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from 1984 to 2022. He was a key medical advisor to multiple U.S. presidents and a leading figure in the national response to infectious disease outbreaks, including HIV/AIDS and COVID-19.

Why it’s in the news: He is in the news due to a Senate committee vote to hold him in contempt of Congress for his handling of COVID-19 hearings and the guilty plea of his close adviser, David Morens, for mishandling government records.
