Beginning on July 1, the 82-year-old doctor will be a part of the Division of Infectious Diseases, which provides clinical care, conducts research, and trains future physicians in infectious diseases,\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SherylNYT\/status\/1673376504225611776\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">according<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to a Georgetown press release.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe are deeply honored to welcome Dr. Anthony S.

DeGioia. \u201cDr. Fauci has embodied the Jesuit value of being in service to others throughout his career, and we are grateful to have his expertise, strong leadership and commitment to guiding the next generation of leaders to meet the pressing issues of our time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Along with the honor of being named a university professor, Fauci was also appointed to Georgetown\u2019s McCourt School of Public Policy, which offers public policy master\u2019s degrees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In December, Fauci stepped down after working for nearly four decades as the director of the NIAID, which falls under the National Institute of Health (NIH). Fauci worked in the federal government for 54 years after joining the NIH in 1968 during the Lyndon Johnson administration. Fauci went on to advise seven presidents, influencing public policy decisions for decades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fauci became the face of the U.S. response to the COVID pandemic after he was tapped by former President Donald Trump in March 2020 to serve on the White House Coronavirus Task Force. The doctor was criticized for his advice during the course of the pandemic, initially telling Americans not to wear masks before changing his recommendation later, leading states and local governments to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fauci-joins-georgetown-as-distinguished-university-professor\/\" title=\"Fauci becomes Georgetown's 'Distinguished University Professor'.\">enact strict mask requirements<\/a> for months during the pandemic. President Joe Biden named Fauci as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dr-fauci-faces-renewed-criticism-over-past-remarks-about-new-york-serving-as-a-model-for-fighting-pandemic\/\" title=\"Dr. Fauci faces renewed criticism over past remarks about New York serving as a model for fighting pandemic\">chief medical advisor<\/a> to the president after taking office in 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fauci faced intense backlash after he said under oath before Congress that NIH \u201chas not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research\u201d at the Chinese lab where many speculate COVID likely leaked from. Documents obtained by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2021\/09\/09\/covid-origins-gain-of-function-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Intercept<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">appear to show that the NIH did fund gain-of-function research at the lab, contrary to Fauci\u2019s testimony.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fauci\u2019s retirement from the NIAID came into question last week when Sen. Rand Paul, who famously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kz7OGxb9X6E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clashed<\/a> with Fauci during COVID Senate hearings, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/retired-or-not-sen-rand-paul-demands-dr-faucis-employment-status-from-biden-administration\">demanded<\/a> to know if Fauci was still receiving taxpayer dollars based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/boeings-fighter-jet-business-is-not-dead-yet\/\" title=\"Boeing\u2019s Fighter Jet Business Is Not Dead Yet\">ambiguous statements made<\/a> by the doctor before his retirement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhile many interpreted these statements to mean Dr. Fauci would be ending his employment with the federal government in December 2022, it is not clear if that is in fact the case,\u201d Paul wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis raises questions about Dr. Fauci\u2019s current employment status and whether he is still receiving certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-gop-outline-failing-democrat-policies\/\" title=\"House GOP outline failing Democrat policies\">taxpayer-funded benefits<\/a> associated with active public service, such as legal counsel and protective services,\u201d the senator added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Georgetown\u2019s announcement indicates that Fauci is officially moving on from his work in the federal government as he confirmed that he is looking forward to joining the university.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI am delighted to join the Georgetown family, an institution steeped in clinical and academic excellence with an emphasis on the Jesuit tradition of public service,\u201d Fauci said. \u201cThis is a natural extension of my scientific, clinical and public health career, which was initially grounded from my high school and college days where I was exposed to intellectual rigor, integrity and service-mindedness of Jesuit institutions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former NIAID chief Dr. Anthony Fauci will transition from advising the U.S. government to teaching at Georgetown University.
