Biden’s pardon of Fauci for 2014-2025 offenses related to his roles as NIH director, COVID task force head, and chief medical adviser aims to prevent “baseless, politically motivated investigations” that could damage reputations and finances.
A federal investigation into Fauci could have prompted scrutiny of the federal public health apparatus and its financial rewards for officials, questioning why a bureaucrat with a decades-long track record of failure was celebrated by the political establishment.
Fauci’s department funded controversial gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at a Wuhan lab from 2014-2018, raising speculation about his role in the COVID-19 pandemic’s origins, which Biden’s pardon preemptively shielded from investigation.
Fauci’s COVID-19 response included reversing stance on mask efficacy, advocating for universal masking and government mandates, later justifying the reversal as a lie to protect healthcare worker mask supply.
Fauci’s career includes secretive, deadly drug experiments on HIV-positive foster children in NYC from 1988-2002, beagle puppy experiments, and failed projections on various virus dangers, leading to billions in government payouts for vaccine injuries.
