Is Fauci's role in the ebola hearing so notable that it deserves its own section? Because it certainly doesn't seem that way from what's in there.
At the most, maybe there should be a section on his tenure at NIAIC during the Obama administration, mentioning his role in the government's response to the ebola crisis. Or maybe (maybe) a section devoted to his overall role in the ebola crisis. Jesuschex ( talk) 15:04, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Over the past two months, the infobox photo has gone through the changes shown above. In summary, the arguments for the various images have been that the previous image looks bad, is too old, or is not official. It's gone through enough changes at this point that an actual discussion is warranted.
I'm not a fan of the official portrait, as the shadows down his left side and the right side of his face are out of place. He's a scientist, not some movie villain hiding in the dark. I don't like the 2018 photo either, as it was taken at an odd angle and is cropped far too closely. The 2020 photo is slightly better in that regard, but I still prefer the 2003 photo. It's also an official NIH portrait, just slightly older. -- AntiCompositeNumber ( talk) 04:56, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
'Fauci is widely seen to be one of the most trusted medical figures in the country' should be written as 'Fauci is widely seen to be one of the most trusted medical figures in the USA'. This sentence may not make sense outside of the USA, in my case I thought he was a professional who was in the UK that did work in America. Aside from not necessarily making sense, we should try to write in a way accessible to anyone who speaks English. I do concede that sense can be inferred from context but it is unnecessary I feel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cherryhog ( talk • contribs) 11:10, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
one of the lead members of the Trump Administration's White House Coronavirus Task Force addressing the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in the United States.In this sense, the next sentence using the phrase
Fauci is widely seen to be one of the most trusted medical figures in the countrycan only be interpreted as meaning the United States (the country mentioned immediately preceding). Use of "the United States" again in this context would be unnecessarily awkward and wordy. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 11:25, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
How come there's no mention of this even after appearing in an allegedly "respected mainstream publication" like Newsweek (and others)?: https://www.newsweek.com/dr-fauci-backed-controversial-wuhan-lab-millions-us-dollars-risky-coronavirus-research-1500741
Oh wait, I know why - because WP is weaponized to support false official narratives, more "mainstream" than "mainstream" due to WP:RS/WP:V + WP:FRINGE which define the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia as "verifiability, not truth", and "verifiability" means self-referential majority view of "respected mainstream publications" which have long been nothing of the sort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.237.225.72 ( talk) 21:11, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
This is covered in sources other than Newsweek, e.g -
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-admin-pulls-nih-grant-coronavirus-research-ties/story?id=70418101. But it is the NIH who did the funding not Fauci, so I don't think it belongs in this article.

In the "Early life and education" section, "The pharmacy was ... one neighborhood away from his family home in Bensonhurst" is a misreading of the cited journal reference, which actually says: "The Faucis ran a neighborhood pharmacy at 13th Avenue and 83rd Street and lived in an apartment above." So, keeping the same journal reference, please change:
"one neighborhood away from his family home in Bensonhurst."
to either
"directly beneath the family apartment."

Somebody added a "current event" tag to the article. I don't think it belongs there. He is no more in the news than he has been for the last 3 or 4 months - actually less right now.

Honestly, the current infobox image is pretty mediocre. It isn’t even close to contemporary, and it isn’t even a photograph from his period of greatest notability. I propose we change the image to this. It’s of similar quality, and it’s FAR more recent. Wikipedia policy is to generally use an image from the subject’s period of greatest notability, and I think that we can all agree that the answer for Fauci is NOT 2007. Any objections?

hello i am new at this and opologize in advance if i am writing in the wrong place. I understand the page can not be edited but wish to make one suggestion for experiment sake of using this new website (for me)... i recently watched an interview with Professor Scott Atlas, in that interview his title professor was displayed before his name as is the custom in human society to address a professor or doctor by their title preceding their name usually abrieviated as Prof. or Dr. ... particularly if it is in a sentence where a Prof. is being discredited by a Dr. it is glaringly obvious, the blatant and transparent bias for those of us reading that sentence if we happen to already be familiar with the individual... for those who are unfamiliar with the individual, the writer's obvious intent to become partisan by omission of title for only one of two certified academics in argument is, needless to say, completely lost... once you click on the link, you discover that the newspaper did the same. A brief cursory glance at the wikipedia page of the unfairly discredited academic does however reveal that even wikipedia does actually admit he is a professor, so it seems only fair to call him Prof. in the same sentence as his academic counterpart is correctly labelled as Dr. ...or is that too much semantics for how it works here?? idk, pls tell me, cheers

"1981 was the first he heard of the virus and after he and his team of researchers began looking for a vaccine or treatment for this novel virus, though they would meet a number of obstacles such as the F.D.A."
This is a bit weird. Why would the FDA be an obstacle in the search for a vaccine or treatment? That needs an explanation. Also, does it matter when he first heard about it? (Is the sentence missing a word? maybe "and after that he and his team"?) -- Hob Gadling ( talk) 18:38, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

You might want to read this recent article in the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/05/18/fact-checking-senator-paul-dr-fauci-flap-over-wuhan-lab-funding/ I'm not going to edit the article as it's far outside my area of expertise. deisenbe ( talk) 21:41, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
From the article, "Fauci has contributed to the understanding of how HIV destroys the body's defenses leading to the progression to AIDS. He has outlined the mechanisms of induction of HIV expression by endogenous cytokines. [citation needed]"
I would like to remove the "citation needed" and think I found a reference. However, I am not a scientist and don't know if this is correct. Here is the citation: Fauci, Anthony, 12 December 1996 Host Factors and the Pathogenesis of HIV-induced Disease, Nature, 384 (6609), 529-34, PMID: 8955267, DOI: 10. 1038/384529a0
I realize this is an old article, but the "citation needed" insert is referring to something he did in the past.

In Reply to @ Neurogeek: A quick search showed that Fauci authored or co-authored around 1000 articles, showing a mix of reviews and research papers, indicating a more active research background than a scientific communicator might do. Also generally on prestigious journals such as Nature, review articles are invited, and normally only some of the most well known and pioneering researchers on the subject are invited to review on the relevant subject. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Fauci%20AS%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=8955267
In Reply to @ Neurogeek: Thanks. Very helpful. I'll take a look at the entire section. One more question: I understand how being the author of an article cited in one's Wikipedia article is not a good source. Fauci has been a co-author in a number of articles in reputable journals that discussed this very point. Could one of those be a more acceptable citation?

... so, from the above, the reliable sources are focusing on Daszak writing an email to Fauci, and Fauci replying: "Many thanks for your kind note". I don't think that's very significant. starship .paint ( exalt) 04:50, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
Fauci helped fund the Wuhan Institute of Virology through a grant he signed off on to Peter Daszak- and now claim
Fauci helped fund the Wuhan Institute of Virology through personally signing off on money given to Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance- and I don't see it being backed up even in the National Review piece, which says that the National Institutes of Health funded the EcoHealth Alliance. It doesn't say Fauci himself signed off on the grant - his organization did, but whether he personally approved it - we don't know. starship .paint ( exalt) 02:51, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
In addition, Republican lawmakers and right-wing commentators accused Fauci of wrongdoing due to the NIAID in 2014 awarding a $3.7 million grant to New York-based research non-profit organization EcoHealth Alliance, which included a $600,000 subgrant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The lawmakers and commentators accused the Wuhan Institute of Virology of performing gain of function research that created COVID-19, however as of June 2021 there was no evidence that the laboratory created COVID-19. The National Institutes of Health, the parent organization of NIAID, stated that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was not allowed to conduct gain of function research under the terms of the grant.

From "In early June 2021, over 3,000 private emails sent by Fauci from January to June 2020 were obtained by media outlets through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests."
To: "In early June 2021, over 3,000 emails sent by Fauci as a federal employee using his government email from January to June 2020 were obtained by media outlets through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests."
Reason: His emails sent doing the transaction of public business. The emails he sent based on looking at a few are clearly ones sent as a federal employee in the conduct of official business. These emails, especially from a high ranking employee, are likely all or nearly all federal records and are not "private" per se, especially when one reads the Freedom of Information Act. Some may contain information protected by the Privacy Act or other federal law. "All agency-administered email accounts are likely to contain Federal records." "[E]mails that are Federal records must be managed for their entire records life cycle. The statutory definition of Federal records is found at 44 U.S.C. 3301 and is further explained in the Code ofFederal Regulations at 36 CFR 1222.10.See https://www.archives.gov/files/records-mgmt/m-14-16.pdf.
44 U.S.C. 3301 says a record "includes all recorded information, regardless of form or characteristics, made or received by a Federal agency under Federal law or in connection with the transaction of public business and preserved or appropriate for preservation by that agency or its legitimate successor as evidence of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations, or other activities of the United States Government or because of the informational value of data in them."
If you need the reference that Dr. Fauci is a federal employee and at "NAID," which appears in the emails next to his name, use https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/director
If you need a reference that his agency is subject to FOIA use https://www.niaid.nih.gov/global/freedom-information-act
If you need a reference that his emails are government email, the fact they were requested under FOIA shows this. One can see some of these emails at sites like https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2021/tony-fauci-emails/ Mark Doehnert ( talk) 11:19, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

This isn't about him, it's about the crisis. So cool, he was right. But with all of the media attention he has received over this, a short paragraph with what seems like a political motivation seems inappropriate. But I welcome other opinions. (I advocate striking the sentence, and adding more about his life ... don't have time to do it myself now, and would want others to weigh in before touching something this sensitive).

In 1947, a six-year-old Anthony Fauci was a recipient of an emergency smallpox vaccination during the 1947 New York City smallpox outbreak. He described his personal experience on ABC News, offering his story as an exhortation for the potential of what might be done in the current Covid-19 vaccination campaign. Specifically, Fauci said, "New York City in March and April of 1947 vaccinated 6,350,000 people; 5 million of which they did in two weeks. I was a six-year-old boy who was one of those who got vaccinated. So if New York City can do 5 million in two weeks, the United States could do a million a day. We can do it."
I couldn’t figure how this information might fit appropriately into the main body of this article thus I did not insert it, either as text/quote or as a citation. But I wished to include it here, in case another, more experienced editor wishes to fashion an appropriate insertion.

This whole section appears about playing "GOTCHA" with Fauci's quotes.
The second section framed around a couple appearances that politcally motivated Fauci critics highlighted. Even if you tease out the nuances of what was said, many other appearances and statements are ignored. It's still accepted a politically motivated frame.
The third paragraph is straight out garbage. In February 2020, Fauci claimed that the risk COVID-19 poses to the United States is "minuscule".[36]
And it's unsupported by text of the article or video of the interview. "Miniscule" seems to come from the writer of the headline. Furthermore you can use that appearance to say In February 2017, before the first US death from Covid was announced, Dr Fauci warned it "could evolve into a global pandemic," even though "right now, today [the risk to the US] currently is really relatively low."
This is all in Fauci's first answer in the interview. And the first announced death from Covid in the US was the end of February...we know now there were early deaths.
I suggest replacing these paragraphs, with something more accurate. Some that points out in the first months of Covid, Fauci said it was at the moment low risk, but was aware there was a real possiblity of COVID-19 of becoming a global pandemic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.29.40.129 ( talk) 15:48, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

He said that at the time of the interviews ("right now"), COVID-19 was not a "major threat" to the American public, with the risk to the American public being "low", but this was an "an evolving situation", and "public health officials need to take [COVID-19] very seriously". [5] [6] In the latter interview, Fauci said that COVID-19 could become a "global pandemic which would then have significant implications for" the United States. [6]

The NIAID, however, said one project — out of which came the widely circulated, graphic photo of beagles with their heads in mesh cages — was wrongly listed as receiving funding from the agency.Further, the studies that NIAID did fund, were funded by NIAID, and the director is not sitting on the grant review committees deciding which studies to fund.

For whatever reason, Fauci, a surname that others share, redirects here. Of course, the notice saying you've been redirected shows up, but I still thank it's silly a fairly common surname to redirect directly to a singular person.

I don't want to just edit the page because this is a bit of a political issue, and there ARE sources reporting that the NIH admitted funding GOF research in Wuhan, as the 4th paragraph states. But those sources are wrong. The NIH letter doesn't admit anything of the sort, and the experiment in question was done in North Carolina. However, in this article the assertions of the far right media are stated as fact. There should at least be more questionable language there.

Paragraph 4 jumped out at me: "Nevertheless, it has been confirmed that the NIH under Fauci funded research on corona viruses in Wuhan, China through EcoHealth Alliance. Although Fauci and his defenders maintain the emergence of COVID-19 in 2019 could not have originated in that research, documents verify that the increased transmissibility of those bat viruses to humans was discussed and should have prompted action. This type of research had been banned in the US several years earlier during the Obama administration". The entire paragraph is entirely factually suspect; Fauci never 'headed up' the National Institutes of Health, yet it is implied that he did. Further, the NIH's 'contribution' to the gain of function research in Wuhan is also misrepresented. Someone's trying to not-so-cleverly rewrite history and fact to benefit their highly questionable partisan slant. 47.209.77.19 ( talk) 17:46, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

I thought the Janet Yellen page covers her move from the Fed to the Treasury well. Fauci, similarly, went from a more “career”/non-partisan role at NIAID/NIH to basically become a member of both the Trump and Biden administrations. It’s slightly confusing because he seems to still lead NIAID. I think this page should expand on these different roles Fauci has played, or at least remind the reader that he’s served somewhat independently at the NIH as well as directly under very different administrations. It’s a bit more complicated than with Yellen, but perhaps when his statement that he represents “science” causes so much division, it’s important to remind readers that he has served as a “career bureaucrat” at NIH/NIAID, as well as directly in the two very different administrations of Biden and Trump. Contrast that with those who have headed the CDC, and without politically characterizing any recent leaders of that agency, I should be able to say that they quite clearly serve the interests of their administration. A lot of people may have forgotten that not even two years ago, he was serving at the pleasure of the Trump admin. Thanks. 2600:1012:B00F:4F75:747F:9734:24B1:F3A8 ( talk) 20:54, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Third paragraph, third sentence. Not factual. “ Some falsely claimed he was involved in creating the virus in a Chinese Laboratory”
This is incorrect. The word “falsely” is not true. To be false, if would have to be proven. It is still unknown where the virus came from. Therefore, the claims are neither false or true, and the world “falsely” should not be included.
If a change isn’t made, it shows bias in Wikipedia—and shows that wikipedia is not factual. 2600:1700:4050:4F00:ED77:7A6D:5E4:7005 ( talk) 15:08, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Is Fauci's role in the ebola hearing so notable that it deserves its own section? Because it certainly doesn't seem that way from what's in there.
At the most, maybe there should be a section on his tenure at NIAIC during the Obama administration, mentioning his role in the government's response to the ebola crisis. Or maybe (maybe) a section devoted to his overall role in the ebola crisis. Jesuschex ( talk) 15:04, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Over the past two months, the infobox photo has gone through the changes shown above. In summary, the arguments for the various images have been that the previous image looks bad, is too old, or is not official. It's gone through enough changes at this point that an actual discussion is warranted.
I'm not a fan of the official portrait, as the shadows down his left side and the right side of his face are out of place. He's a scientist, not some movie villain hiding in the dark. I don't like the 2018 photo either, as it was taken at an odd angle and is cropped far too closely. The 2020 photo is slightly better in that regard, but I still prefer the 2003 photo. It's also an official NIH portrait, just slightly older. -- AntiCompositeNumber ( talk) 04:56, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
'Fauci is widely seen to be one of the most trusted medical figures in the country' should be written as 'Fauci is widely seen to be one of the most trusted medical figures in the USA'. This sentence may not make sense outside of the USA, in my case I thought he was a professional who was in the UK that did work in America.

Fauci is widely seen to be one of the most trusted medical figures in the countrycan only be interpreted as meaning the United States (the country mentioned immediately preceding). Use of "the United States" again in this context would be unnecessarily awkward and wordy. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 11:25, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Oh wait, I know why - because WP is weaponized to support false official narratives, more "mainstream" than "mainstream" due to WP:RS/WP:V + WP:FRINGE which define the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia as "verifiability, not truth", and "verifiability" means self-referential majority view of "respected mainstream publications" which have long been nothing of the sort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.237.225.72 ( talk) 21:11, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
This is covered in sources other than Newsweek, e.g -
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-admin-pulls-nih-grant-coronavirus-research-ties/story?id=70418101. But it is the NIH who did the funding not Fauci, so I don't think it belongs in this article.

In the "Early life and education" section, "The pharmacy was ... one neighborhood away from his family home in Bensonhurst" is a misreading of the cited journal reference, which actually says: "The Faucis ran a neighborhood pharmacy at 13th Avenue and 83rd Street and lived in an apartment above."

hello i am new at this and opologize in advance if i am writing in the wrong place. I understand the page can not be edited but wish to make one suggestion for experiment sake of using this new website (for me)... i recently watched an interview with Professor Scott Atlas, in that interview his title professor was displayed before his name as is the custom in human society to address a professor or doctor by their title preceding their name usually abrieviated as Prof. or Dr. ... particularly if it is in a sentence where a Prof. is being discredited by a Dr. it is glaringly obvious, the blatant and transparent bias for those of us reading that sentence if we happen to already be familiar with the individual... for those who are unfamiliar with the individual, the writer's obvious intent to become partisan by omission of title for only one of two certified academics in argument is, needless to say, completely lost... once you click on the link, you discover that the newspaper did the same. A brief cursory glance at the wikipedia page of the unfairly discredited academic does however reveal that even wikipedia does actually admit he is a professor, so it seems only fair to call him Prof. in the same sentence as his academic counterpart is correctly labelled as Dr. ...or is that too much semantics for how it works here?? idk, pls tell me, cheers

From the article, "Fauci has contributed to the understanding of how HIV destroys the body's defenses leading to the progression to AIDS. He has outlined the mechanisms of induction of HIV expression by endogenous cytokines. [citation needed]"
I would like to remove the "citation needed" and think I found a reference. However, I am not a scientist and don't know if this is correct. Here is the citation: Fauci, Anthony, 12 December 1996 Host Factors and the Pathogenesis of HIV-induced Disease, Nature, 384 (6609), 529-34, PMID: 8955267, DOI: 10. 1038/384529a0

In Reply to @ Neurogeek: A quick search showed that Fauci authored or co-authored around 1000 articles, showing a mix of reviews and research papers, indicating a more active research background than a scientific communicator might do. Also generally on prestigious journals such as Nature, review articles are invited, and normally only some of the most well known and pioneering researchers on the subject are invited to review on the relevant subject. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Fauci%20AS%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=8955267
In Reply to @ Neurogeek: Thanks. Very helpful. I'll take a look at the entire section.

Fauci helped fund the Wuhan Institute of Virology through personally signing off on money given to Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance- and I don't see it being backed up even in the National Review piece, which says that the National Institutes of Health funded the EcoHealth Alliance. It doesn't say Fauci himself signed off on the grant - his organization did, but whether he personally approved it - we don't know. starship .paint ( exalt) 02:51, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
In addition, Republican lawmakers and right-wing commentators accused Fauci of wrongdoing due to the NIAID in 2014 awarding a $3.7 million grant to New York-based research non-profit organization EcoHealth Alliance, which included a $600,000 subgrant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The lawmakers and commentators accused the Wuhan Institute of Virology of performing gain of function research that created COVID-19, however as of June 2021 there was no evidence that the laboratory created COVID-19. The National Institutes of Health, the parent organization of NIAID, stated that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was not allowed to conduct gain of function research under the terms of the grant.

From "In early June 2021, over 3,000 private emails sent by Fauci from January to June 2020 were obtained by media outlets through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests."
To: "In early June 2021, over 3,000 emails sent by Fauci as a federal employee using his government email from January to June 2020 were obtained by media outlets through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests."
Reason: His emails sent doing the transaction of public business. The emails he sent based on looking at a few are clearly ones sent as a federal employee in the conduct of official business. These emails, especially from a high ranking employee, are likely all or nearly all federal records and are not "private" per se, especially when one reads the Freedom of Information Act. Some may contain information protected by the Privacy Act or other federal law. "All agency-administered email accounts are likely to contain Federal records." "[E]mails that are Federal records must be managed for their entire records life cycle. The statutory definition of Federal records is found at 44 U.S.C. 3301 and is further explained in the Code ofFederal Regulations at 36 CFR 1222.10.See https://www.archives.gov/files/records-mgmt/m-14-16.pdf.
44 U.S.C. 3301 says a record "includes all recorded information, regardless of form or characteristics, made or received by a Federal agency under Federal law or in connection with the transaction of public business and preserved or appropriate for preservation by that agency or its legitimate successor as evidence of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations, or other activities of the United States Government or because of the informational value of data in them."
If you need the reference that Dr. Fauci is a federal employee and at "NAID," which appears in the emails next to his name, use https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/director
If you need a reference that his agency is subject to FOIA use https://www.niaid.nih.gov/global/freedom-information-act
If you need a reference that his emails are government email, the fact they were requested under FOIA shows this. One can see some of these emails at sites like https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2021/tony-fauci-emails/ Mark Doehnert ( talk) 11:19, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

So this: "He said that the final case fatality rate of those who are infected will likely be closer to 1% than the 2% initially estimated by the World Health Organization, which is still ten times the 0.1% reported rate for seasonal flu.[15][16][17]". This isn't about him, it's about the crisis. So cool, he was right. But with all of the media attention he has received over this, a short paragraph with what seems like a political motivation seems inappropriate. But I welcome other opinions.

Should the article be more specific?
But that style has led to intense criticism and backlash among corners of the conservative internet and some of Trump's supporters. ...

But Fauci has also become a public target for rightwing pundits and bloggers who believe he is undermining the president.

This really needs to be updated - Dr. Fauci retired as a Rear Admiral (Upper Half) from the USPHS in 1996, serving almost 28 years. His public biographies rarely mention his service, but a little digging into NIH and USPHS sources is helpful. It would be nice to see Dr. Fauci's Flag Officer service highlighted.

In 1947, a six-year-old Anthony Fauci was a recipient of an emergency smallpox vaccination during the 1947 New York City smallpox outbreak. He described his personal experience on ABC News, offering his story as an exhortation for the potential of what might be done in the current Covid-19 vaccination campaign. Specifically, Fauci said, "New York City in March and April of 1947 vaccinated 6,350,000 people; 5 million of which they did in two weeks. I was a six-year-old boy who was one of those who got vaccinated. So if New York City can do 5 million in two weeks, the United States could do a million a day. We can do it."

This whole section appears about playing "GOTCHA" with Fauci's quotes.
The second section framed around a couple appearances that politcally motivated Fauci critics highlighted. Even if you tease out the nuances of what was said, many other appearances and statements are ignored. It's still accepted a politically motivated frame.
The third paragraph is straight out garbage. In February 2020, Fauci claimed that the risk COVID-19 poses to the United States is "minuscule".[36]
And it's unsupported by text of the article or video of the interview. "Miniscule" seems to come from the writer of the headline. Furthermore you can use that appearance to say In February 2017, before the first US death from Covid was announced, Dr Fauci warned it "could evolve into a global pandemic," even though "right now, today [the risk to the US] currently is really relatively low."
This is all in Fauci's first answer in the interview. And the first announced death from Covid in the US was the end of February...we know now there were early deaths.
I suggest replacing these paragraphs, with something more accurate. Some that points out in the first months of Covid, Fauci said it was at the moment low risk, but was aware there was a real possiblity of COVID-19 of becoming a global pandemic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.29.40.129 ( talk) 15:48, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
In interviews on January 21, January 26 and February 17, Fauci commented on COVID-19. He said that at the time of the interviews ("right now"), COVID-19 was not a "major threat" to the American public, with the risk to the American public being "low", but this was an "an evolving situation", and "public health officials need to take [COVID-19] very seriously". [5] [6] In the latter interview, Fauci said that COVID-19 could become a "global pandemic which would then have significant implications for" the United States. [6]

The NIAID, however, said one project — out of which came the widely circulated, graphic photo of beagles with their heads in mesh cages — was wrongly listed as receiving funding from the agency.Further, the studies that NIAID did fund, were funded by NIAID, and the director is not sitting on the grant review committees deciding which studies to fund.

I don't want to just edit the page because this is a bit of a political issue, and there ARE sources reporting that the NIH admitted funding GOF research in Wuhan, as the 4th paragraph states. But those sources are wrong. The NIH letter doesn't admit anything of the sort, and the experiment in question was done in North Carolina. However, in this article the assertions of the far right media are stated as fact. There should at least be more questionable language there.

Paragraph 4 jumped out at me: "Nevertheless, it has been confirmed that the NIH under Fauci funded research on corona viruses in Wuhan, China through EcoHealth Alliance. Although Fauci and his defenders maintain the emergence of COVID-19 in 2019 could not have originated in that research, documents verify that the increased transmissibility of those bat viruses to humans was discussed and should have prompted action. This type of research had been banned in the US several years earlier during the Obama administration". The entire paragraph is entirely factually suspect; Fauci never 'headed up' the National Institutes of Health, yet it is implied that he did. Further, the NIH's 'contribution' to the gain of function research in Wuhan is also misrepresented. Someone's trying to not-so-cleverly rewrite history and fact to benefit their highly questionable partisan slant. 47.209.77.19 ( talk) 17:46, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

I thought the Janet Yellen page covers her move from the Fed to the Treasury well. Fauci, similarly, went from a more “career”/non-partisan role at NIAID/NIH to basically become a member of both the Trump and Biden administrations. It’s slightly confusing because he seems to still lead NIAID. I think this page should expand on these different roles Fauci has played, or at least remind the reader that he’s served somewhat independently at the NIH as well as directly under very different administrations. It’s a bit more complicated than with Yellen, but perhaps when his statement that he represents “science” causes so much division, it’s important to remind readers that he has served as a “career bureaucrat” at NIH/NIAID, as well as directly in the two very different administrations of Biden and Trump. Contrast that with those who have headed the CDC, and without politically characterizing any recent leaders of that agency, I should be able to say that they quite clearly serve the interests of their administration. A lot of people may have forgotten that not even two years ago, he was serving at the pleasure of the Trump admin. Thanks. 2600:1012:B00F:4F75:747F:9734:24B1:F3A8 ( talk) 20:54, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Third paragraph, third sentence. Not factual. “ Some falsely claimed he was involved in creating the virus in a Chinese Laboratory”
This is incorrect. The word “falsely” is not true. To be false, if would have to be proven. It is still unknown where the virus came from. Therefore, the claims are neither false or true, and the world “falsely” should not be included.
