(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of COVID response and obsessive vaccine pusher, will be heading into retirement comfortably after receiving a massive salary, winning several prizes and pocketing a golden government pension.
As head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci was famously the highest paid federal government employee in the nation at $456,028, taking home more than the president every year, ZeroHedge reported.
Chirstine Grady, Fauci’s wife, is chief bio-ethicist for the National Institutes of Health, and takes home more than the vice president at an annual salary of $238,970.
Other forms of pandemic-era enrichment have come to Fauci in the form of prizes from government and academic institutions.
According to Open the Books, a Substack focused on government transparency, Fauci’s total net worth soared to $12.6 million during the pandemic.
The Elliot Richardson Prize in Public Service and the Abelson Prize from the American Association for the Advancement of Science brought home $12,500. Fauci also scored $5,198 when he was named Federal Employee of the Year in the 2020 Samuel J Heyman Service to America Medals ceremony.
The big win, however, came in the form of the Tel Aviv University-affiliated Dan David Prize, coming with a $1 million check. After donating just under $100,000 as student scholarships, as is customary, Fauci pocketed $901,400.
The prize committee stated that Fauci “has been widely praised for his courage in speaking truth to power,” during the COVID pandemic.
It is unclear exactly what truth they are referring to, as it is becoming increasingly clear that Fauci lied his way through the entirety of the pandemic.
While there is no indication that Fauci has been making singular stock investments, his portfolio does comprise of broad mutual funds.
Fauci, ever the entrepreneur, also served as an editor for McGraw Hill, making $100,000 in 2021; a year throughout which many states were still requiring masking and many children were struggling through online school.
Finally, though the world rejoiced at the announcement of Fauci’s upcoming retirement at the end of 2022, hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money will continue to line his pockets, with an estimated pension of $375,000 every year.
