Fauci\u2019s Next Act: COVID Czar To Teach at Georgetown<\/h1>\n

I don’t think I would send my child to Georgetown to study medicine.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Amid a growing<\/a> consensus that COVID-19 likely emerged from a Chinese lab and past revelations that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) funded<\/a> coronavirus research in one such lab, the former head of the agency, Anthony Fauci, has landed a professorship at Georgetown University.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fauci, who was pulling<\/a>\u00a0a salary of over $400,000 a year while working for the federal government, told<\/a> Georgetown that while he “could do more experiments in the lab and have my lab going,” he felt that he would be better suited to serve as an “inspiration to the younger generation of students.” It is unclear if Georgetown will be matching the compensation Fauci enjoyed as a public servant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former NIAID director\u2019s career prospects do not appear to have been hampered by mistakes made during his advisory role throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci initially denied<\/a> the possibility that the virus could have originated from a laboratory. All U.S. intelligence agencies see the lab leak as a possibility<\/a> and a high profile report<\/a> from the Department of Energy considers it the most likely explanation. Fauci is now open<\/a> to the possibility of a lab-leak origin but won\u2019t take a definitive stance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the virus did originate in a lab, that could reflect poorly on Fauci and the federal government. While Fauci was heading the agency, NIAID funneled<\/a> $653,392 to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the lab believed to be the origin of COVID-19, for coronavirus research.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to his relationship to the origin of the virus, Fauci\u2019s pandemic-era policy recommendations have also come under scrutiny.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes that Dr. Fauci will be part of both the school of medicine and the school of public policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
