According to a soon-to-be-released report from watchdog group Open The Books, Dr. Anthony Fauci nearly doubled his personal wealth during the peak pandemic years; 2019 through 2021.
…it increased from $7.6 million to $12.6 million. Not bad, doc.
During a Tuesday night interview, Open the Books founder Adam Andrzejewski joined The Evening Edit on Fox Business to discuss Fauci, China, and more in the wake of the Department of Energy’s findings that COVID-19 likely originated from a lab leak in Wuhan.
And Andrzejewski dropped some bombs.
“We’re letting China get away with too much,” Andrzejewski said. “And it’s been going on for decades. It’s a Chinese strategy. For example, last fall, our organization at OpenTheBooks.com openthebooks.com, we highlighted the strider technologies report, where up to 150 former employees of the los alamos national lab, our crown jewel national lab, aren’t working in America anymore. They’re working back in China on behalf of the Chinese communist party and against our military national interests…”
Andrzejewski went on to address the wealth Fauci accumulated while putting millions of hard-working Americans out of their jobs.
“We investigated Dr. Fauci because I don’t even think it’s arguable that he is one of the most powerful bureaucrats ever in the history of the country. And obviously, in crafting America’s COVID response during the pandemic, we gave oversight to the Fauci family finances,” Andrzejewski says.
He continues: “We found that Dr. Fauci was the most highly compensated federal employee, and he out-earned the president. Last year. He made $480,000. And Mrs. Fauci, Christine Grady, she’s employed as the chief bioethicist at Fauci’s employer, the National Institutes of Health. So while Fauci was crafting national healthcare pandemic policies, she was backstopping those policies through her office on ethics and moral studies. She actually out-earned the vice president of the United States. Now, Dr. Fauci’s retired at the end of the year, and he’s retired on the largest pension in federal history. We estimate that pension at $375,000 a year…”
Andrzejewski made a similar comment last year to Fox News Digital.
“Dr. Fauci has been the highest-paid federal employee for years, and now we know that even in retirement his pay will be history-making,” Andrzejewski said in a statement.
“With the flexibility to spend his days as he wishes, Fauci will rake in more than the leader of the free world earns in a year. There’s seemingly no limit to the money taxpayers will have to spend on him in perpetuity.”
A “history-making” payout —and all he had to do was be terrible at his job.
