Anthony Fauci just cannot catch a break, as he is now beginning to reap what he sowed during all of the shady, underhand, downright evil things he did during his tenure working for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. First, President Donald Trump stripped away his security detail. Now, thanks to the Department of Government Efficency (DOGE), the Department of Health and Human Services has cut over $180 million in contracts in the last 48 hours, one of which was $170,000 put aside for a Fauci museum exhibit.
“In the past 48 hours, HHS canceled 62 contract [sic] worth $182 million,” The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) stated in an announcement post made on Friday on social media. “These contracts were entirely for administrative expenses – none touched any healthcare programs. This included terminating a $168,000 contract for an Anthony Fauci exhibit at the NIH Museum.”
News of Fauci’s second big loss under the Trump administration hits the public as Elon Musk’s DOGE continues to make significant changes to the way our government spends our hard earned tax dollars. One of the plans currently being executed by the agency is the elimination of the United States Agency for International Development, also known as USAID. There are also massive changes underway at the Treasury Department which are being designed to help cut over a hundred billion dollars in spending per year in entitlement payments to folks who do not have a social security number.
In other words, DOGE is cutting welfare to illegal migrants who are trying to stay under the radar, steal American jobs, and get welfare from the money the rest of us pay into the system. I don’t know about you, but I’m loving DOGE more by the day.
“The Fauci exhibit was booked to be finished by July 2025, but has now been scrapped along with $182 million in other HHS administrative expenses,” Fox News said.
“Fauci has long been a controversial figure and has often clashed with President Donald Trump, who last month revoked the taxpayer-funded security detail for the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) that was requested for him in 2020 as he became the government’s public spokesperson during the COVID-19 pandemic,” the article continued.
“I think, you know, when you work for government, at some point your security detail comes off and, you know, you can’t have them forever,” Trump stated during a conversation about the move. “We took some off other people, too, but you can’t have a security detail for the rest of your life because you work for government.”
On former President Joe Biden’s last day in the White House, he issued a preemptive pardon for Fauci as a means of providing some protection for him from feared legal retribution that could be brought down on him by the new Trump administration, despite the former director of NIAID not having any charges brought against him.
