He\u2019s on TV nearly every week, and at one point, made a round through the sport-show circuit to talk about whether the National Football League should wear masks under their helmets to prevent the spread of COVID.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on ABC\u2019s \u201cThis Week\u201d on Sunday, Fauci \u201csmirked as he recounted how the pandemic turned him into an international celebrity,\u201d the Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11322461\/Fauci-SMIRKS-shares-fame-rocketed-COVID-pandemic.html\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe White House COVID tsar, 81, looked pleased with himself recalling how he hasn\u2019t had to introduce himself since his first appearance at a White House COVID-19 briefing in February 2020,\u201d the UK paper wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI vividly remember your very first appearance in the White House briefing room in one of the COVID briefings, where a reporter shouted out, interrupted you, and asked you to say your name,\u201d host Jonathan Karl said. \u201cI suspect that may have been the last time you were asked to identify yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I think so, in fact, a lot has happened since then that\u2019s been an amazing journey that all of us have been through, and still are in actually,\u201d Fauci said.<\/p>\n<p>Karl noted that Fauci has been turned into a ceramic bobblehead and supporters wore shirts with his face that said: \u201cIn Fauci We Trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was pretty well known among my peers in science, but certainly not to the extent it is now,\u201d Fauci said. \u201cYou know, I actually think both extremes, Jon, are aberrations of a reflection of the divisiveness in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fauci, it should be pointed out, caused much of that divisiveness. When COVID first arrived on our shores, the doctor said it wasn\u2019t a \u201cmajor threat\u201d and said there was no need to wear a mask.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, he quickly flipped on both of those stances.<\/p>\n<p>But Fauci blew more than just those facets of the government\u2019s response. He called for \u201ccontact tracing,\u201d which cost a fortune but turned out to be useless. He urged economic shutdowns and closures of schools, both of which also turned out to be meaningless and extremely damaging.<\/p>\n<p>He said the virus would affect everyone when, in fact, it was far more deadly for the elderly and the immunocompromised. Fauci mocked the notion that science should focus on them: now it turns out that was the key strategy (See: Finland).<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Fauci finally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/fauci-finally-admits-he-and-his-team-botched-aspects-of-u-s-response-to-covid\">admitted<\/a> that he and his team \u201cbotched\u201d certain aspects of handling COVID after it hit the U.S. in March 2020, including his flip-flopping on the efficacy of masks and the lengthy time it took to make rapid tests available nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t know masks worked outside of the hospital setting. available nationwide. There was supposedly a shortage of good masks for the people who were taking care of individuals,\u201d the doctor said in an interview that aired last month at the Texas Tribune Festival, Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/fauci-admits-certain-aspects-governments-covid-19-response-botched\">reported<\/a> on September 26.<\/p>\n<p>And he put the blame on others for rapid tests, saying, \u201cThey did not get the commercial involvement in the tests quickly. They stuck to their own tests,\u201d he said, not defining just who \u201cthey\u201d are.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci is set to retire at the end of the year, just before Republicans take over the House and possibly the Senate, after 54 years at the National Institutes of Health.<\/p>\n<p>He rose to the position of director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and became the highest-paid government official \u2014 paid $480,000 this year, more than even the president of the United States and every four-star general.<\/p>\n<p>And doc made bank. Fauci\u2019s net worth rose from $7.6 million in 2019 to more than $12.6 million by December 2021, the nonprofit OpenTheBooks <a href=\"https:\/\/openthebooks.substack.com\/p\/breaking-faucis-net-worth-soared\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci\u2019s ego \u2014 and hypocrisy \u2014 has long been on display. In one perfect example, in May \u2014 with much fanfare and news coverage \u2014 Fauci announced he was canceling his attendance at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Association Dinner. Too much COVID, he said.<\/p>\n<p>But Fauci was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/curl-fauci-finally-exposed-as-the-hypocrite-he-truly-is\">photographed<\/a> \u2014 maskless \u2014 attending a swanky pre-dinner brunch with people packed into a room.<\/p>\n<p>Back in January, an eagle-eyed person on Twitter caught a snap Fauci in the documentary \u201cFauci\u201d that showed a giant portrait of the doctor on his office wall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFauci in his office, surrounded by pictures of Fauci, watching that scene from \u201cFauci\u201d where Fauci is in his office surrounded by pictures of Fauci,\u201d the Twitterer wrote.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Fauci in his office, surrounded by pictures of Fauci, watching that scene from &#8220;Fauci&#8221; where Fauci is in his office surrounded by pictures of Fauci. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3ALQOETaRK\">pic.twitter.com\/3ALQOETaRK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Karl Dierenbach (@Dierenbach) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dierenbach\/status\/1483690936282587137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dierenbach\/status\/1483690936282587137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw<\/p>\n<p>The doctor is bailing just in time<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Anthony Fauci, who botched America\u2019s response to the COVID pandemic, has an ego so big he has a pillow on an armchair in his living room with a picture of himself.
