Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the NIAID, has come under criticism after it was revealed that he is charging up to $100,000 for speaking engagements.
Critics have accused him of inflating his self-worth and benefiting from his role as a controversial figure during the pandemic. The former White House coronavirus task force member is known for his work on domestic and global health issues, which has saved millions of lives.
In 2019, Fauci earned $417,608, the largest haul of his career, and from 2010 to 2019, he earned $3.6 million. The Faucis’ net worth has increased from $7.5 million in 2019 to $12.6 million at the end of 2021.

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s recent revelations about his speaking fees and earnings are just further proof of the left’s utter disregard for American taxpayers and their hard-earned money. It is unacceptable that the former director of the NIAID is profiting off of his role during the pandemic while the country is still struggling to recover from the crisis.
This is just another example of the Democrats’ tendency to prioritize their own interests over the well-being of the American people. It’s time for Republicans to stand up and fight against these kinds of corrupt practices, and to protect the taxpayer dollars that should be spent on essential services and programs.
